One Of a Kind Blacklight Rose Slipdress

Sun, 29 Nov 2009 15:48:42 -0500

$45.00
This fabulous one of a kind slipdress was made especially for my recent fashion show and I will not be recreating it.

It's made from a grey and black medium weight textured leopard print knit. The centre of the spots are a burnout mesh, but the dress itself is not see through. The bra area is lined with black tricot and the trim and straps are elasticised lace. Skirt is cut as a full circle for a nice full swing and you can wear a crinoline underneath if you would like extra poofiness. The bright green rose was thrifted from a vintage ballgown. I paired it with a matching green mesh and added a brooch pin so the whole thing is removable AND blacklight reactive so if you wear this to a club the colour will POP!!!

Bats Night Out Zombie Ragdoll Slipdress

Wed, 16 Sep 2009 21:49:50 -0400

$75.00
Designed and made from a gorgeous selection of black and silver fabrics. Would be a lovely party dress.

The top is shiny black slinky knit. The 3layered skirt is lightweight black satin, silvercloth and black mesh printed with silver bats. I added feathery mesh strips to the shoulders and appliqued silver bats across the front. The dress has stretch lace trim. I cut the hemline into points so they imitate the movement of the batwings when you move. ADORABLE!!!

Size S/M (US 4-8)
Bust 32"-36"

Length from shoulder to bottom 32"
