My First Real My Little Halo Photoshoot : )

I had my first proper photoshoot a few weeks ago, which was pretty nerve-wracking after being my own photographer for so long! Anyway I thought I'd show off a few of my favourites from the day...

Photography by Natassja Thompson.

Iron Maiden Leggings (and some others!)

So last week was my birthday and it was so nice taking a bit of time off to catch up with my friends-normally I work too long hours to really go out very often so it was great to be able to actually wear some of my own clothes out for once! Anyway now that I'm well rested and back to reality, I've been working on some new leggings. I made this one of a kind pair of Iron Maiden studded leggings using a T shirt I was given, with large Eddie design on one thigh and panels of black lace on the opposite thigh and lower leg. I wanted to use colours that would compliment the printed design so I used some red and black faux leather and added a mix of silver and gold round and pyramid studs and a mini lace up panel with red faux leather and gold lace up on one side only to keep the asymmetrical and random. I loved how these turned out and was so pleased when they sold as soon as I posted them on facebook.

I love making unique leggings such as these and so am happy to take any custom requests for leggings or trousers in a similar style with the band of your choice, providing a band t shirt can be sent to me to work with!

Iron Maiden Studded Rocker Chick Leggings..

I've been getting a few requests for an old leggings design in leopard print which I can no longer make due to availability of fabrics, so I decided to replace and update the old design with these glam rock inspired leggings. The main body is made with black lycra, with symmetrical front decoration in hot pink glittery leopard print and panels of black and silver glitter star print lycra. They are available custom made to measure in regular and plus size up to a maximum size of 50 inch hips.

Pink Leopard & Silver Star Print Glam Rock Leggings..

A couple days ago I posted a photo of some custom studded lycra and fishnet leggings that were ordered a couple of weeks ago and was instantly bombarded with messages asking me to make more. So I decided to make a similar pair to sell on my website as a regular item. They have a main body in black lycra with large cut out panels filled with fishnet on the thighs and lower leg and decorated with studded black faux leather and mixture of silver pyramid studs and round studs.

One of a kind stuff!

This week I had fun making some more new stuff! First up is a pair of super sexy pair black and gold wet look studded leggings, featuring panels of metallic gold lycra and studded black faux leather with gold pyramid studs and rounded studs to match the lycra and plain glossy black wet look backs. I initially intended for these to be a one of a kind pair of leggings as I just wanted to use up the last of my gold studs, but since they got so much love on facebook I decided to stock up on the studs and make them a repeat item available custom made to fit. So I've listed them as coming soon.

Black/Gold Wet Look Studded Leggings...

I also started work on a new dress design idea for a denim corset dress as a lot of the corset dresses on my website are very old and outdated so I'm planning on replacing them with newer much better things! Anyway I liked how it turned out but wasn't happy enough with the technique I used which was more time consuming than I would have liked for a dress that I plan to make as a repeat item, so decided to re-think it a little before releasing it and chose to list this one as a one of a kind item of clothing. I was more than a little pleased to see that it sold almost the instant I posted the image on my facebook page and I have now re-designed the dress in a similar style and am confident that people will like it just as much, if not more :)

With the original corset dress I was going for a rocker chick style look with a mixture of toughness and cuteness rolled into one. It was made with a fitted denim body using semi stretch denim for comfortable wearing and the front features a halter neck strap, zip fastening and black faux leather with silver eyelets and lace up front. The back also features a lace up panel with black ribbon and the skirt part of the dress was made of of two tiers of denim and black lace in gathers. Lastly I added some eye studs to the strap and a couple of silver studs on the front, just to add a bit more excitement.

Lace Up Denim Rocker Chick Style Corset Dress

Lastly I thought I'd challenge myself to making something new from fabric scraps which is always fun as I get to kill two birds with one stone by making a bit of a dent in the ever growing pile of fabric that is starting to consume my work space and I (hopefully) end up with something cool too! At least this time I did anyway! I love these one of a kind leggings, they are made with black lycra which is super snug and moulds to fit the body like a glove, with cut away panels filled with black fishnet and panels of black wet look. The front is decorated with black strips of faux leather studded with an assortment of various silver studs including round studs, star shaped studs and large pyramid studs. Yet again I was mega chuffed when they sold the instant I posted them to facebook!

One of a Kind Black Fishnet Studded Leggings

That's all for now but I will be back shortly to post about the new denim corset dress I've just finished and hopefully a couple more things I have in the pipeline!

Alternative Clothing SALE Items!!!

I've just added a bunch of items in random sizes to the sale items section of my website. Most are the original of it's kind which I normally like to keep, but am running seriously low on storage space so....they gotta go!

Black/White Stripe Zipper Top SIZE 8

These leggings have to be one of my most popular designs by far, however sadly (and very annoyingly) my supplier no longer stocks the fabric, so this is the last ever pair available. They are black cotton emo/gothic style leggings with panels of skulls and roses cotton and black and white star print cotton paneling across the front and plain black backs. They are around a UK size 10/12 with full measurements on the site. Reduced to £21.99, down from £31.99!

It's a UK size 6, with measurements on the site (by clicking the image). Reduced to £21.99, down from usual custom made price of £41.99!

Skulls & Roses Hooded Dress Top

I may add some more items shortly once I've finished digging through my stock cupboards and there are plenty more goodies on sale at great prices available from the sale section of my site!

Green Stripe Leggings & Pink Leopard Glam Leggings!

Last week I made a new one of a kind pair of pink leopard print leggings with black and white stars, which somehow sold before I even got round to posting them on facebook or anywhere else! I was quite impressed with that actually : ) Anyway when I did post it on facebook they seemed to get quite a lot of love, so I decided to make some similar as a regular item, for sale from the leggings section of my site. They are slightly different to the original but I think I prefer them to be honest. The upper body bit on the front is made from pink sparkly leopard print, with alternating panels of pink leopard and black and white star print overlaid onto black spandex lycra. The back is plain black and the lycra fabric is really stretchy and moulds to fit the legs like a glove!

Here's the new pair of pink leopard/stars leggings....

And the old pair...

And also from this week I have another new pair in green and black! I love the combination of bright green and black and I have no idea why I haven't done more stuff like this. They are also made from black spandex lycra with panels of vertical fluorescent green and black stripes decorating the front at alternate diagonal angles. Both pairs are available in regular and plus size from my shop. The photos didnt come out very well, they dont accurately show how bright they are, but take it from me-they are fluorescent!

New Gothic Mini Skirt

This week I decided to update one of my favourite skirts as the pictures were looking a bit old and the fabric I use has changed since then. It's a black gothic mini skirt with a stretchy cotton waistband with three tiers of black lace in gathers to create a tutu effect. The waistband features decorative eyelets which lace up with black ribbon. It's available to buy from the punky rah rah skirts section of my website in regular or plus size..

Black Gothic Lace Tutu Skirt

I also finally managed to get hold of more wet look lycra, so my black wet look studded rocker leggings, which have been out of stock for months, are once again available, custom made to fit up to a hip of 44".

Band Tee Leggings/Skulls n Roses Dress

Another new hooded dress top! I saw this awesome fabric and couldn't resist making another : ) It's made with cream and grey skulls and roses print cotton with black sleeves and skull patterned cuffs and a big snuggly hood, lined with black cotton. This dress top is now available for sale to regular and plus size from the long sleeved dresses section on my website.

New one of a kind pair of leggings, they are an asymmetrical design made from a reconstructed AC/DC tee I was given but never got round to wearing before it turned cold, black spandex lycra and silver glittery star print lycra. These leggings also have studded strips of black faux leather on the front with round studs as well as pyramid studs. They are a size 8/10 and available to buy from the custom clothing section of my website.

More Wintery Wear :)

I have made a couple more wintery style things this week. First off, after years and years of my parents hassling me to wear a coat because I'll "catch a chill", but refusing to because a)they are expensive and I don't often treat myself to new things and b)I can never find any coats that I even like, I finally took the time to make myself one. ANNNNDD I like it! It's a cropped coat made from black cotton and lined with black fleece, the hood is also lined with fleece which feels lovely on my head. It's sort of like wrap around, with adjustable silver buckle fastenings and large silver eyelets for decoration. But it's also joined at the bottom, so it's more of a pullover than a coat. I made it short/cropped to emphasize my waist as I hate how frumpy and unsexy coats normally make me feel. I know, I know what you're thinking..."She'll still catch a chill with her midriff on show like that"....WRONG! I only shot the photos like this to make it clear that it is cropped, however it can, and will be warn with other clothes underneath. It's just a lot easier to see the actual length of it without clothes underneath, since all my clothes are black.

Anyway I'm waffling now...This took me agggesss! Although I haven't figured out yet if that's because of the design or whether it's simply that I haven't made any coats before, so once I've had a bit more practice, I would be up to speed a bit better. I'm thinking the latter. So I'm still in the process of deciding whether to list it for sale on my website or not, due to the time/money involved. However I had a lot of positive feedback when I posted the pic on facebook last night, so maybe I will...

Cropped black buckle coat

And I made another long sleeved hooded dress top, similar to my tartan hooded dress top from my previous post. This one is also made from black cotton with panels of black and white skull and crossbones print cotton on the front and back. There's a big panel on the back to add warmth and thickness. Oh and I added a cute front pocket and extra strips of skulls on the sleeves. And the bottom hem or the dress as well as the sleeves are cuffed.

Skull & Crossbones Hooded Dress Top

This one is available made to fit regular or plus size and is available for sale from the long sleeved tops section of my website.

New Studded Leggings & Fishtail Skirt

Right I've finally designed a new awesome pair of unique leggings that are going to be available made to order rather than just one of a kind. AND these are available for plus sizes too! They are made from black wet look and sparkly glitter silver star print lycra. They have black faux leather strips on the front which are studded with rounded silver studs. I really love this design and hope my customers will too!

Glam Rock Glitter Stars Studded Leggings

Purple Gothic Fishtail Skirt

Also this week I decided to add another colour option to my range of gothic fishtail skirts, I love this purple spandex velour fabric so thought I'd see how that would look. It's slim fitting from waist down to the knee and flares out at the bottom, hence the fishtail. Though I prefer to think of it as a mermaid tail as they are a lot nicer than fish!

Skulls & Studs Wet Look Leggings

And lastly I made another one of a kind pair of leggings in a similar design to some of my recent one off pairs, made from black wet look with panels of stretch denim, studded of course, and black and white skulls print fabric. My supplier has discontinued this fabric recently so I thought I'd make use of the scraps I have left. They are a size 8/10 and you can view the full details and measurements to fit on my website.

I seem to have disappeared off the radar these past few weeks, things have gotten so busy I've been shackled to my machines constantly, hence my lack of bothering to post anything on here :( Anyway-catch up time, here are a few of my latest designs....

Rainbow Stripe Tutu Dress

This dress is made from multicoloured striped cotton with a fitted body featuring zipper front fastening and big decorative black bow and lace trim on the bust. The tutu part is made up of two tiers of stripe cotton and black lace. I love this dress! It may be a bit bright for some people's tastes, but I've always had a thing for rainbow coloured stuff! It makes me think of sweets and makes my eyes feel happy.

It's available custom made especially to fit for regular and plus size from the corset dresses and tutu dresses section of my website.

Punk Studded Tartan/Wet Look Leggings

These punk style leggings are one of kind and made from black glossy wet look lycra with panels of red tartan print and black studded faux leather. They are a UK size 8/10 and available to buy from the one of a kind clothing section of my site.

Leopard Print Lace Up Pencil Skirt

Lastly another lace up pencil skirt-I just love making these, I think they are super sexy! It's made from black wet look lycra with leopard print velour down the sides and black ribbon lace ups on top. It's available in regular and plus size and you can find it under pencil skirts!

Back (hopefully soon) with more new stuff as soon as I find time!

I've been having such a hectic time lately, juggling sewing orders, making new things and doing a load of internet stuff for my website, I've barely had time to stop and do anything else, much in need of a day off I think :) But for now here are a couple of new tops from this week.

This first top is a one of a kind punk style studded denim vest top. It has a lace up front fastening which can be adjusted to fit and is decorated with studded strips of faux leather, star print and wet look, with a studded mini pocket on one side. The back features crossover faux black leather straps studded with silver pyramid studs. I think this is a first, as it's already sold. Dont think I've ever sold something before I even got a chance to write about it, but hey, wanted to show it off anyways!

Stars and Studs denim Punk Vest Top

This top is available handmade to fit many sizes! It's quite similar to one of my one of a kind tops that had a lot of positive feedback and also disappointed people who wanted it to be available in more sizes. Well this one I can make to fit up to a bust of 48 inches! Yes that's right, I even made it available to plus sizes too :) It's made from black wet look with a gathered bust and antique brass look studs. The main body is black spotty semi see through lace with black faux leather studded shapes on the front. The back is plain black wet look. Oh and the strap is halterneck to give a flattering shape to the chest ;)

Antique Studded Wet Look Top

The last pic is a close up shot of the top and me wearing my new leopard print hearts locket and hair pins from Glamasaurus Online Store. I wrote about her shop in a post recently and again I urge anyone reading to visit her shop RIGHT NOW! As her jewelery is just totally adorable and really original too! Love!!!!

I'm wondering what people prefer: something completely unique and individual to them that no one else has OR to have their choice of alternative clothing made especially to fit them but is a repeated design? What do you prefer?! This week I made a couple new pairs of leggings. One is a custom one of a kind pair of leggings and the other is a repeated design available in regular and plus size.

The custom pair are made from black leather look lycra with patchwork panels of denim studded with antique look rust coloured studs, star print and black wet look lycra. They are a UK size 8/10.

Stars & Studs Patchwork Rocker Leggings

Now these leggings are available custom made to fit any size up to a hip of 44 inches. They too are made from black leather look and feature sexy black lace side panels, which lace up with black ribbon and tie into bows at the calf.

Lace Up Leather Look Leggings

While I love making unique one of a kind pairs of leggings as they are special and individual to the person that takes them home, I also love being able to custom make my leggings to fit, so that the customer knows they will have a good fitting pair even if they are between sizes and especially for plus size ladies who struggle to find any unique and fun pairs of leggings that are available in plus sizes.

I'd be interested to hear anyone's thoughts on this, would you rather something no one else has? Or something that is made especially with your shape and size in mind, but isn't a unique design?

New Custom Colour Lace Up Top!

I've just listed a new top and it's available in regular and plus size. Not only that but you can also pick your own colour! The one I made is black and purple, but I can also make it with silver, blue or pink instead of purple.

The bust is made from black wet look, with silver studded faux black leather middle piece and a stretchy black halter neck strap for a comfy fit. The main part of the top is made with shimmery metallic overlaid with cute black polka dot lace. The bottom hem is also made from stretchy wet look black lycra and running down each side are faux leather strips with silver eyelets and black ribbon lace up detail.

New Purple Leopard & Lace Punk Leggings

I've just listed a couple new pairs of patchwork leggings for sale. They are both one of a kind unique pairs but this time I made them a bit larger than normal, as I've had so many requests for my one of a kind clothing in larger sizes. Obviously the reason I dont normally do this is because it's difficult to model bigger sizes but I made them work somehow!

The first pair are available in a UK size 12/14 and are made from gorgeous purple leopard print with panels of black gothic stretch lace and black cotton with a super stretchy elasticized waistband. The design on the front and back are different, I kinda wish I'd left the back of them plain black as I think there's too much going on but hopefully people will still like them!

Purple Leopard Print & Lace Patchwork Leggings...

The second pair are black and white stripey patchwork leggings, made from 10 alternate stripes of black and white cotton lycra which is really comfortable to wear. The seams are on the outside to give them more of a punk feel. They will fit a UK size 12/14/16 and as you can see they are quite long so do best going to a girl on the taller side :)

Black/White Super Stripe Patchwork Leggings

As I said, they are both one of a kind pairs and only available in these sizes, though as they are pretty stretchy they will fit more than one size. Please see the full list of measurements directly on my website as it's been a long day and I can't be bothered to type them out right now! Both are currently listed at £24.99 each and for 2 more days the shipping is free!
