New Mini Dresses & Hoodie Dresses (Including Pantera/Guns N' Roses & Motorhead!)

Here are some dresses I've been working on over the past month or so :)

Guns N' Roses Studded, Lace up Mini Dress

A sexy, studded mini dress made with a Guns N' Roses Appetite For Destruction t shirt, with black leather look moulded and padded cups, decorated with a mix of pyramid, round and star shaped silver studs. The dress features a faux leather studded halter neck strap and decorative red ribbon lace ups on the hips. It is a one of a kind mini dress in a size 8/10 only. Full details can be seen by clicking the image.

Studded Motorhead Lace up Mini Dress

Black and white Motorhead mini dress featuring 'Ace of Spades' design with adjustable lace up sides running down to the hips and studded faux leather shoulder panels. This dress was one of a kind and has already sold.

Studded Pantera Mini Dress

Another studded mini dress made with a Pantera t shirt, with moulded and padded wet look bra cups, studded with large silver pyramid studs and faux leather cross over straps, with rows of small silver studs.

Sexy Black Studded Mini Halter Dress

I decided to make a plain version of the band mini dresses in black stretch cotton with padded wet look, studded cups and studded halter neck strap, with wet look hem. It is available made to measure from the Strappy Dresses & Mini Dresses section of my website.

Fluorescent Green Stripe Hooded Dress Top

Since it's getting colder I thought I'd make a couple of new hoodie dresses for casual wear which go down well this time of year! The first is made with stretch black cotton with strips of fluorescent green and black stripey fabric criss crossing across the front, matching stripe panels on the sleeves and cuffs, with big black hood lined with more green stripe.

And another hooded dress top in black cotton with panels of grey leopard print jersey on the front, back and sleeves with leopard print lined hood and silver D rings on the shoulders. Both hoodie dresses are available made to measure for regular and plus size from the Long Sleeved Tops category on my site.

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...

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.

New Mini Dresses & Corset Dress!

I recently added a new mini dress to my collection of summery strappy dresses & mini dresses-made from glossy black wet look, sexy skin tight with lace up on the bust and a deep, low cut lacing up back. This dress will be made to measure and is available to regular and plus size.

Glossy Black Wet Look Mini Dress-with lace up front & back

I've been trying to find some cool new fabrics to make more long sleeved dresses and hooded dress tops with, since I can no longer get the fabrics for most of the ones I made last year. This is such a pain since the skull and crossbones dress top was so popular! Anyway I came across this gothic crosses print last week and made this new dress top with crosses print panels on front and back, large front pocket and lined hood. I'm making it to measure for regular and plus size too!

And lastly for today-an up-cycled suede bustier with fringe, adjustable lace up front and black faux leather studded decorative bits made from a top I was given but never wore because it didn't fit. The bustier is roughly a size 8/10 and can be found in the custom and one off clothing part of my website.

And...I decided to make my top selling style of tartan corset dress available in more colours, starting with hot pink! It has a fitted upper body in pink tartan and black lace with D-ring corset style lace up front, zipper fastening and halter neck strap. with a two tier gathered skirt in pink tartan and black lace. Available in regular and plus size from the corset dresses section of my site. Other colours available so far include red and turquoise : )

New Casual-wear Vest Tops for Summer

This week I've been working hard on replacing some of the clothing on my website that I can no longer get hold of the fabrics for-starting with a bit of a do-over of my Vest Tops & Tees category. I feel I've made a huge amount of going-out, fancy tops but no where near enough casual wear! So I thought I'd make a whole range of new stretch and patterned comfy vest tops. There's pink zebra print, pink leopard print, velvety tan and brown velour leopard print, a mini gothic crosses vest with sexy high cut sides and my favourite-a black wet look vest top with a spiked bottom cut so it hangs low in the middle and reveals a bit of hip. They will all be custom made to fit and most of them are available in plus size by selecting the plus size option in the drop down menu of each vest top.

This week I've been working on more leggings and hot pants. I was looking at one of my favourite pairs of one of a kind leggings I've made which was a pair of bleach splattered studded leggings with lace up cut aways on the thigh and lower leg, showing some skin in a sexy but not-too-revealing kinda way and thought it'd be cool to create this same effect on a new pair of leggings that I can make for all sizes as a regular item, without being as time consuming as the original pair. I asked some of my facebook fans what colours they'd like to see and I got a lot of people asking for reds and blacks as well as purples. So I decided to go with red and black at first and maybe do something in purple at a later date. These leggings are made from glossy black wet look lycra, with open cutaways on the thigh and calf, with red faux leather finishing, decorated with silver pyramid studs and silver eyelets lacing up with black ribbon. The back is made from plain black wet look with a wide elasticized waistband. These leggings are available custom made to measure from the Glam Rock & Punk Studded Leggings section of my website.

I also made a practice pair of glam rock studded bootcut jeans in preparation for a similar custom order. They are made with black denim and wet look, lace up crotch fastening and panels of bleached denim and studded faux leather. The main body of the backs are glossy black wet look with denim pockets and denim bootcut and waistband. They didnt look quite complete when I was done, so I bleach dripped the bootcuts upside down creating the cool effect of white flames creeping up from the floor. They are a one of a kind pair of jeans/trousers in a size 8/10. I made them extra long so they can be warn with heels :) Click the photo to view them on my website.

And lastly I've been meaning to make myself some new wet look hot pants which I finally got round to yesterday and since they turned out so well I thought I'd add them to my website as well. They are mini low rise hot pants in black wet look with an adjustable lace up front fastening and black wet look waistband. I've listed them under the Hot Pants & Shorts category of my website and I will custom make them to fit any size including plus size up to 48 inch hips.

Another Dress & My First Menswear Order :)

Here's another new alternative summery dress in the same style as my previous post. It's a mini dress made with metallic silver lycra with black deep cut lace up panel on the front and black lycra finishing on the sleeves, bust and lower hem of the dress. I'm making it available to both regular and plus size and it can be found under strappy dresses and mini dresses. It will be custom made to fit your own measurements :)

Metallic Silver Low Cut Lace up Mini Dress....

My exciting news of the week is that I took my first order for mens wear from guitarist of Chicago based band Down N' Dirty. He was looking for a custom pair of tight fitting flared jeans/trousers with lace up crotch, bleached and studded and totally glam rock to wear on stage. So I worked with bleached denim and leather look lycra for the main body with lace up crotch and faux leather lace up panels on the thighs, filled with black leather look, studded with silver pyramid studs and lacing up with white ribbon which falls at the sides. The backs I made with black leather look, with bleached denim studded pockets and long lace up panels going up the bottom of each leg. The customer loved them and I enjoyed making them so hope I will be making him some more stuff soon. Looking forward to seeing some pics of them on stage!

New Summery Clothing

I've been enjoying the sun shining into my office while I've been working this week and it's been getting me in the mood to design and create some new alternative summer clothing items. First I thought I'd go over my summer skirts section and update some of the older designs with some newer fabrics and styles. I found this black and white storks and stars print fabric which I love so using it I made this skirt. It has a stretchy, elasticized black cotton waistband with a puffy gathered circle skirt in the storks and stars print, with two tiers of black tulle underneath. The waistband is decorated with some lace up panels, lacing with white ribbon to match the storks. This is now available from the punky rah rah skirts section of my website and it will be custom made to fit both regular and plus size. I'm just now waiting for my supplier to get their delivery of sparkly brand new fabric prints in store so that I can continue with updating my range of mini skirts.

Also this week I was looking back at my all time favourite bleached denim studded vest top I've made which was one of a kind and trying to figure out a way of making a similar rock style corset top that is more "ready to wear" and will be possible to make as a repeat item in regular and plus size without being as time consuming and expensive as the one of a kind version. This is the design I came up with. It is made with bleached tan and grey denim with halter neck strap, front zipper fastening and black studded faux leather decoration down the front. Either side of this are black ribbon laces ups, criss crossing down the bust and forming bows at the bottom. I seriously love the effect of bleaching this type of textured two tone denim, I think it has a really cool effect (as you can probably tell by all the different clothes I've been making with it!) So anyway this corset top is available for regular and plus size, made to fit from the tops and corset tops category of my website.

Bleached Denim Studded Rock Corset Top..

I found a few pieces of this black ponte roma jersey I had leftover from making hot pants and thought I'd make another one of a kind pair of high waisted hot pants. They are fitted with a front zipper fastening and feature tiny skulls decorating the front on one side, with matching skull print back pockets. They are roughly a uk size 8/10 and are on sale at £21.99 since I made them just to use up some scraps. The full measurements are listed in the product description and can be found by clicking the picture.

Black Skulls Print High Waisted Hot Pants...

And lastly, I thought it was time to bring out some more summery dresses. I feel I've made a lot of fitted corset dresses lately but haven't turned my attention much to a more slinky stretchy style of dress which some people might prefer. The first dress I made this week is in red silky stretchy lycra with a deep low cut lace up front, sexy and revealing but not too revealing. The lace up is in black and the sleeves, bust line and lower hem are also in black lycra to match. This dress is available in both regular and plus size from the strappy dresses and mini dresses section of my site and will be made to fit your own measurements. I love this dress, it feels amazingly comfortable to wear and I will be making some more dresses in this style very soon!

Mini Hot Pants, Mini Skirts & Leggings

So following the high waisted hot pants, I thought I'd try some proper mini hot pants in denim which is the sort of thing I often like to wear. This is the first pair I made-they are bleached denim hot pants with front zipper and silver popper fastening. I added some faux black leather lace up panels down the side to make them more rocker chick like and added some loops so they can be warn with a belt. This is the first time I've attempted fitted denim shorts and I was so pleased with how they turned out that I put them on my website and they sold right away!

Bleached denim mini hot pants with lace up sides..

Here are the second pair of denim hot pants I made, they are made from the same textured denim which I bleached, they have a an adjustable lace up front fastening with silver eyelets and black ribbon lacing and small round silver studs on the front and on the back pockets. Lastly I added some decorative belt loops. I really loved this pair and decided to keep them for myself. I wore them out to Brighton last weekend and they were very comfortable and they fit so much better than my store bought shorts, they actually stayed up fine all day without a belt : )

I have an order coming in for a custom pair of denim/leather look trousers with a lace up crotch, so I wanted to have a bit of a practice with the leather look/denim combo, so I figured I'd try by making a hot pants version of the trousers to save fabric! The front is made from bleached black denim with adjustable lace up crotch and large antique brass look pyramid studs, the backs are plain black leather look with denim waistband and matching belt loops. This pair is still for sale in a size 8/10 and as they were a practice pair, they are on sale as a reduced price from my sale items section.

Bleached denim/leather look hot pants with lace up crotch..

After I;d had enough of the shorts, I figured I might get into making some more fitted mini skirts as most of the skirts on my site are stretchy and puffy rather than tight fitting. I prefer fitted mini skirts personally but I never wear them as I dont have any that I like, so I dont know why I haven't made any sooner! This one is made from the same black and grey semi stretch denim, but with no bleach this time! It has a front zipper fastening and black faux leather lace up panels down each side at the front, with black faux leather studded pockets on the back and matching black belt loops all round. This skirt is now up for sale under the fitted mini skirts section of my site and it is available in both regular and plus size options, being custom made to fit up to a maximum hip size of 50 inches. I feel I havent been making enough items available for plus size lately as some things are just too time consuming and expensive to make for them to be profitable in plus sizes, but I plan to work on making a lot more items that are available to every lady, plus size or not : )

Black & grey denim/leatherette fitted lace up mini skirt with studded pockets..

And finally, the one of a kind pair of metallic multicoloured leggings I made seemed to be well received on facebook so I found some nice shimmery metallic jersey fabrics, which I actually like a lot more and made a similar pair as a repeat item. They're not quite the same as the one off pair as they only have blue and purple, back and front and no silver, but I love the print of the fabric, it has a sort of worn effect where bits of black are showing through the metallic, I thought it was very pretty. So these are available for regular and plus size from the patterned, wet look and metallic leggings section of my site up to a hip size of 52 inches.

Unique purple/blue shimmery metallic leggings..

Now I've just about caught up on posting so will be back to show off more new stuff as and when! Bye for now :)

New new new!

Lots more new stuff to show off, mainly because I've gotten so behind with this! Firstly I decided to make an updated version of one of my old dresses which I was no longer happy with. It's a gothic corset dress made with a fitted body in black satin, with halter neck strap, zip up front fastening and metal D rings which form a lace up panel on the front and lace trim on the bust. The back features another corset style lace up panel with large silver eyelets and black ribbon. The tutu style skirt is made with black satin and tiers of gothic black tulle beneath and another shorter tier of tulle on top. It is available in regular and plus size, custom made to fit your own measurements from the corset dresses section of my website.

Black Satin Lace up Corset Dress...

Next is a new corset top similar to the red satin burlesque corset top in my earlier post. It's a fitted top made with purple satin overlayed with black floral lace, with a halter neck strap, zipper fastening that opens right out and a black ribbon lace up panel at the front. The bust and lower waist of the top are finished with black lace trim. This corset top will be made to fit regular or plus size and can be viewed on the corset tops part of my site.

Purple Satin Lace Burlesque Corset Top...

Next is a new pair of gothic/rock style studded leggings which I'm quite in love with. They are made from black glossy wet look lycra with snug fitting plain black back and cut away panels on the front which are filled with black semi see through lace and decorated with black strips of faux leather which is studded with large silver pyramid studs.

Black Wet Look/Lace Studded Leggings...

And lastly I found this awesome textured denim fabric which I've become quite obsessed with. I decided to make a new special one of a kind top, as most of the ones I had listed on my website have sold. It's made with alternate panels of textured denim and black denim, semi stretch for a snug but comfortable fit, with individually cut black faux leather swirls and spike shapes on front and back in a symmetrical pattern and studded with silver eyelets. The top fastens with a zipper at the back and opens right out and there is a faux leather halter neck strap, decorated with more silver eyelets. The top will fit roughly a UK size 8/10 but the full measurements can be seen in the one offs and custom clothing page.

New Leggings & Leopard Print Dress Top

Well so far this year I swear I have literally not stopped sewing. The orders have been flowing in which is amazing, never imagined my little clothing company would ever be doing this well! :D Though I hope I will soon be able to find time to make lots of new things. I did manage to make these one of a kind zebra print leggings just before new years, which sold pretty much right away. They are black cotton lycra leggings with criss-crossing front panels of cream and black zebra print jersey and skulls print, with plain black backs and a cute matching skull print waistband.

I really liked this design but it was a one of a kind pair, using up my remnants of this zebra print fabric which is no longer available. So I decided to make another similar pair of leggings in pink zebra print and the same skulls print since I still have a fair bit of this fabric and these will be a regular item in regular and plus size, for a limited time only while the fabrics are still around! They are available from the tights and leggings section of my website.

And lastly, I made another hooded dress top, since they seem to be my most popular items at the moment (after leggings!) This one is made from black cotton with panels of velvety tan and brown shimmery leopard print on the front and back, with a leopard print hood, lined with black and matching front pocket and cuffs on the sleeves. It's available custom made to fit regular and plus size.

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".
