RFL-Edwardian Blossom (Midnight Bloom)

Well i'd been working on this dress since last spring but never got it done in time. I just wasnt satisfied. I was wrestling with 3 different ideas for the train. Finally decided upon a method that seemed to work well. But that didn't happen for ages. The colors were intended as pastel dip dyes. Then RFL came up and i thought i'd put one out in reverse, in a black to color dye instead of white to color. Came out with this:



Think I'll make the spring versions now (although late in spring now!)
Perhaps one other dark version, simply black to white perhaps.

RFL - Walking Dress ~ Persian Rose


Having made only 2 color variations on my "Walking Dress" I've decided to keep going with more. Dedicated this one to the RFL for the duration.

Domino Ladybird, Burlesque Ensemble

It's almost Valentine's Day and To-a-T is releasing the Domino Ladybird. As the name suggests, the colors are red and black and the pattern is polka-dots. This dress comes wi four bustle variations and more ways to combine them. Going from absolutely charming to downright saucy & burlesque, the ensemble is complemented by a lovely primmy parasol adorned with roses, provided in closed or open form and a fascinator, also in two variations.




I also went a bit nuts after i packaged the dress and made matching shoes that can be bought in two colors, or for a special price buy both variations because YOU MUST HAVE THEM. :-)
