'Absynthe Light' Aesthetic Gown

To-a-T presents the 'Absynthe Light' Aesthetic Gown. As so many people request this dress in other colors, particularly lighter ones (as is appropriate for the style itself), I've made it in a pale green and turquoise. Designed by Walter Crane in 1894, in contrast to more popular styles of the time, the Aesthetic and Bohemian styles reflected more artistic and modern values, including women's rights. And of course Beauty and Liberty. :-)

More interesting information about the movement and it's ideals can be found here.

In Time for Valentine's Day: A Wild Rose

The Wild Rose Steampunk Jypsy
Thinking of romance and Valentine's day I've taken this dress from moody purples into rambling wild roses. Gypsies and wild roses seem perfectly suited to each other. I was inspired to add a hat to this option rich ensemble, with an explosion of feathers at the back, and more gypsy coins as decoration. The metal corset that comes included has taken on an almost candy colored look.
The final word for the Wild Rose Steampunk Jypsy is "Edible".

Steampunk Jypsy, Winterfell Rose

Inspired in colors and feeling by the Winterfell sims and Winterfell's emblem, and most importantly, Miss Serra Anansi, I've created a Victorian take on the icon of the independent and free gypsy.

This was a Christmas release and it has absolutely nothing to do with Christmas. But that's just how I roll... 

This sexy, strong & free gypsy outfit is all about metal, lace and ribbons, and it started out as a FREE outfit (Yes! Get a free version at the Winterfell community center) and then I kept embellishing it. A Steampunk Jypsy outfit with about a TRILLION options for how you might wear it. There's more in the box than on the vendor pic as I couldn't cram that many variations and items into one picture. The full version includes a few extra special items plus many more layers of each item for as many looks as possible. OK, yes. It's got ribbons in common with Christmas; lots and lots of ribbons.... 

Maybe I'll make a red version for Valentines?

Suggestions for another color welcome.

The Vestements of Who?

OMG I've actually finished another outfit.
AND it's for men. Shocker of the century.(Actually it's also for women.)

Yes, It's true and I'm very proud of this one. The robe textures in particular. They have a nice rich velvet quality. Based on the 2009 robes seen in the new Doctor series. The oufit: robes and a short tunic along with trousers, with a timey whimey lordy symbol on the front. I've also thrown in a lovely old style skull cap, made by EzY McAlpine. I thought it added a nice traditional look. Personally I view these Prydonian colored robes all they were wearing as a consequence of the Time War and resuscitation of Rassilon. In my mind they are Time War era robes. But that's just me. I do prefer the traditional idea that all the different chapter houses have their own colors.
So, new product, not exactly Victorian, but woman/man does not live on bread alone! Sometimes we need a bit of time travelling too...

Also note: I've partnered with Hands of Omega to offer this and other role play avatar items under the new Visions of Pythia line. Some will be canon, like this one. Others simply my take on what Time Lord culture might wear, etc.

'Daughter of Shanghai', in Lucky Jade green

A 1882 Victorian-Steampunk Kimono Bustle Dress.

Inspired by the Steelhead Shanghai sim (by TotalLunar Eclipse) and the thought of "What would Asian Steampunk look like?" This time in Jade green with Rust orange accents

This version of the outfit comes with so many accessories!

An opium pipe.

A lovely parasol and a fan with a green clover motif. They both close and open on touch and include holding and fanning anims that work alongside AOs.

A feather boa.

I've also included an accessory chain. It has a charm and a couple of opium accoutrements on it.

Happy St. Patty's day! :-)

UPDATE

Some Blog mentions:

Miss Breezy Carver has also covered the Lucky Jade Shanghai on her blog, celebrating Saint Patrick's day with a number of pictures of our new outfit. Please visit her site here. You might think of subscribing to her site as she does a regular coverage of not only fashion but current events in the Steamlands, especially New Babbage sims.

Thank you Miss Carver for the lovely article!

Miss Twisted Lemon has had some fun photographing both versions of the Daughter of Shanghai dress on her blog, here. She's a great SL photographer that works both on the Primgraph and the PrimPerfect magazines. I'm honored. What's nice about her pics in this instance is that there was no photoshopping and they look wonderful as they are.

Nice av, Miss Lemon! *waggles brows* ;-)

Thank you!

Daughter of Shanghai in China Red

An 1882 Kimono Bustle Dress in China Red

Inspired by the Steelhead Shanghai sim (by TotalLunar Eclipse) and the thought of "What would Asian Steampunk look like?" I took the narrow bustle style dress of the early 1880's and combined it with Asian styling. Being that Valentines AND the Chinese New Year(Tiger, btw) was around the corner, China Red seemed to be the obvious first color. With or without the waspie corset the Chinese silk sheen gives it a luxurious look. The lacy blouse and standup collar with metal hinges ads an exotic flavour to the ensemble, and when the bottom dress fabric is worn without the bustle it takes on an Edwardian fishtail look.

A cute bowler fascinator is ads to the steampunk flavour along with red lantern hairsticks and a little decolletage rose to wear as well, just for flirty fun.

It also looks good when down to the basic system skirt if you need a low lag outfit that still looks great.

Find it in Steelhead Shanghai.

Snow globe Mini-Top Hat

Nothing says Merry Christmas like a Snow Globe on top of a mini-top hat, non?

Yes, it's a snowy snow globe perched on a red crushed velvet mini-top hat, decorated in white feathers, red ribbon, diamonds, Holly leaves and berries. Red netting offers an extra degree of coquetish glamour. It should look perfect with any white, red or green ensemble.

Meant for festive holiday celebration!

Non-denominational.

Sensational.
