Skulls, Roses and Stars Leggings

Wow this has been the busiest couple of weeks of my life! I've been doing 17-18 hour days, trying to get caught up on orders and have literally had no time for anything but sewing and a bit of sleep in between :) I made this a little while ago but only just got the time to write about them now! They are black cotton lycra leggings with diagonal panels on the front in grey/cream skulls and roses printed cotton and black and white star print cotton. These leggings are really quite unique, since the skulls fabric is so varied, every time I cut the panels for the leggings, they will come out with the pattern looking slightly different. I like this pair a lot since they are interesting to look at but also really comfy because they are cotton lycra :)

They are available to regular and plus size from the leggings section of my website starting at £31.99.

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!

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'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!!!!

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.

First Attempt At Leatherette Punk/Goth Wrist Wear!!

So this week I was thinking I really need to stock up on some of the little gothic and punk accessories that I stock to go along side my custom hand made clothing, when it dawned on me that I could just make some myself. I've always been much more excited about designing clothing than accessories, but I suddenly got the urge so thought I'd give it a try. Here's what I've come up with so far. They will all be one off pieces rather than items I will keep re-making, so once they're gone, they're gone! The first is a punk style wrist strap made from black leatherette and decorated with silver conical punk studs and silver metal eyelets. The strap has a silver popper fastening with two adjustable size fittings. This was my very first attempt so I'm selling it for cheaper than I'd like to.

The next is a gothic, punk style wrist band in black leatherette, decorated with silver metal D-rings and has a largely adjustable silver buckle fastening with 5 different size settings.

Silver D-ring Punk Style Wrist Strap...

The last is also made from black leatherette and features a large silver zipper with silver popper fastening and two different size settings.

Pink Floral Graffiti Leggings

Another new pair of leggings today. Purple and pink graffiti style floral patterned leggings. This one will be available in all sizes up to a hip measurement of 52" but it will be around for a VERY LIMITED TIME only as my supplier tells me the fabric is a one off and will only be around as long as what they have lasts.

Cherry Print Underbust Corset

I always forget how much I enjoy making corsets, it's not exactly my strongest point as I haven't had nearly as much practice as I have at most of my other items, but I do feel I've improved loads since I started out :) Since I found steel boning I've long ditched the crappy polyester boning and replaced it with the proper stuff and and my corsets are now made from 4 layers thickness of fabric to make them proper sturdy and robust. And now as all of my garments are made to fit the customers specified measurements, they can even select how loose or tight fitting they would like it made in the waist...

Here's my most recent addition...black and red cherries print steel boned, underbust corset with lace up front fastening...
