Black High Waisted Leggings

I made some high waisted leggings! I'm really liking the high waist look with clothing at the moment so I thought I'd try it out. These are plain black, high quality spandex lycra high waisted and full length leggings. The spandex lycra fabric is really comfortable and really stretchy so it's easy to get into but it also hugs the legs, giving a sexy skin tight appearance. The elasticated waistband comfortably hugs the waist's naturally thinnest part and emphasizes curves.

I know they're not that alternative, but I thought they'd make a great accompaniment to any outfit and if these sell well, I will think about making some high waisted leggings in different patterns and prints!

New Black Slashes Mini Dress

Another new summer-y dress I recently made-It's quite simple but pretty damn sexy if I do say so myself! It's basically a punky vest top dress with gothic slashes down the back which knot up to create a cool effect on the back, revealing the back without revealing too much! I think this will be perfect for summer as it's simple, sexy and comfortable and the open back will keep you cool! I've always been a bit self conscious about wear short skirts or dresses in case they ride up and make me look like a tramp, so I added double thickness of cotton around the bottom of the dress that pulls it in a bit and keeps the dress from riding up.
I wasn't sure what to do on the front of the dress, but eventually ended up doing a simple little matching bit on the bust with a couple of knotted slashes just to tie it in with the theme of the back.

New Zebra Print Shrug!

Here's some more of what I've been making....

As I had loads of the zebra lace fabric left from the dress I made, I decided to make a cute matching shrug jacket. It's the same semi transparent mesh lace stuff, it's really soft and stretchy. Instead of buttoning or zipping up the two sides tie up in a knot at the thinnest part of the waist to accentuate curves and I added some elastic around the waist so it really holds the thin part of the waist in nice and comfortably. I love this style of jacket, it's perfect for the coming summer as it's thin enough to keep you cool but enough fabric to give the arms a bit of warmth and cool print adds a bit of excitement to an outfit :)

New Zebra Print Strapless Summer Dress

I've been making a few new things this week, they are a little different from my usual style, slightly more feminine and pretty summery I think!

The first is a cute strapless summer dress made with stretchy black cotton and panels of black and white swirly zebra print meshy lace down each side. The lace is a little see through, just enough to be sexy without being too trashy! I added elastic to the boob tube bust to ensure that it will stay up comfortably and thick cotton at the bottom to ensure the dress doesn't ride up. Two annoying tendencies of this type of dress that usually prevent me from feeling comfortable enough to wear them out....problem solved and I will definitely be wearing this one out this summer, it's so comfy!

Update Pics of Black and White Stripe Zipper Top

Yesterday when I was taking photos for my new denim biker chick style vest top, I decided to take a couple of updated pictures of one of my favourite tops. I love this top but I dont think the old photos were doing it enough justice.

It's my black and white stripe zipper top which is a fitted top made with black and white stripe cotton, front zipper fastening that opens right out, decorative metal silver eyelets on the bust which lace up with black ribbon and tie up at the bottom and black lace trim around the bust and bottom edge of the top...

Denim Biker Chick Crop Top!!

As I was so chuffed with how my last custom order turned out, I decided to make a similar one for myself! I also had a few people asking if I was going to put the custom order on the website to sell, but since I was aiming to replicate the top Kat on D wears for the customer, I didn't want to put it on the site as a regular item, as it would be a bit insulting to blatantly rip off the designer who made Kat's top. So I made a new one that is similar but much more different to Kat's one.
It's a glam rock, biker chick style cropped vest top, with a zipper fastening down the front, large eyelets and black faux leather strips down the middle. The sides of the top feature more black faux leather strips, with metal silver eyelets and black ribbon lace up bits. The lace up bits can be used to adjust the tightness of the top as well as looking awesome.
Anyway I am so happy with the result that I've taken some photos and added it to the tops section of my website..

Here are some pictures....

Custom Order: Totally Badass Denim Vest!!

Today I've been working on another custom order. This took me waaayyy longer than I had anticipated, but I dont care because I thoroughly enjoyed making it and am totally in love with the finished result, if I do say so myself!

The customer was looking for a Kat Von D style denim vest top with lace up bits, pockets and studs.

The zipper fastening actually zips up all the way, but can be adjusted according to taste. The front features a cute mini pocket on each side of the bust with double popper fastening, the middle is decorated with black faux leather, as are the sides, with large metal eyelet studs and ribbon lacing them up. Which means the tightness can be adjusted too! And lots more big metal eyelets down the middle to finish it off.

I'm well chuffed with this custom order, I hope she likes it!

So here we are...

*NEW* RED TARTAN PUNKY CORSET DRESS!!

Since my turquoise tartan corset dress has been so popular since I put it on the website, I decided I'd give my customers a bit more variety by making the same dress in an alternate colour. So here's my latest red tartan corset dress.

This corset dress has a fitted upper half with panels of red tartan and black cotton overlayed with black lace. It has a black lacey halterneck strap and a zipper fastening at the front, which is decorated with an overlapping lace up corset front with metal D-rings and black ribbon. The lower half of the dress is made of of two tiers of red tartan and black floral lace with lots of gathering to make it puffy!

It's now available on my website, custom hand made to fit any size up to a maximum bust of 50".

Mothers Day Crafts I made

This year I decided that for mothers day instead of sending the usual bouquet of flowers, I'd make my own! At first I planned to make her a bag as she gets a lot of use out of the last tote I made her so I thought I'd help expand her collection with a new one, then I thought.."how can I decorate it?" which is where the flowers came in. She also loves wearing brooches, so I made them detachable so she can wear them on her clothes too. I had a lot of fun making them, I think they're prettier than real flowers, a lot cheaper and they last a lot longer too! I made them from lots of layers of black, jade and silver lace, with satin ribbon which I cut into petals and burned the edges with a lighter to make them curl upwards like real petals. Then I added lots of sparkly beads to finish them off.

I also decided to make my boyfriends mum a little matching purse with some flowers too and this is how they came out. They were both very happy with them :)
