2 New Dresses
The second is a re-make of my previously top selling black and white music print dress. Unfortunately my supplier stopped making the fabric I used to use for the dress and so had to switch to this new fabric, which is actually a better quality and I think looks nicer than the old. For ages I've just been using a link to an image of the fabric as I hadn't bothered to make a dress for myself to model, but finally got round to it yesterday.

New Pencil Skirts and Cute Dress :)
Here are the other new things I've been working on. There are two high waisted pencil skirts in stretchy black and white polka dot cotton and stretchy black and white skulls lace with cotton. Both have an elasticated waistband which starts at the thinnest part of the waist and reaches just above kneelength where the skirt goes in to emphasise curves. The other is a cute flowy strappy dress made from black and leopard print velour. It has matching black straps, decorative black lacey trim around the bottom and a big black ribbon sewn on at the sides, which can be brought into a bow at the front.

Gothic Long Sleeved Tops
I've been wanting to make some new items for a while now, but every time I attempt to go into town to buy fabric, it suddenly starts raining so hard that I can't actually see and I end up with make up all over my face and decide I don't want to grace the nice people at the fabric store with my hideous presence and so turn back. I should really invest in an umbrella...
So anyway I finally managed to get there and back without getting wet and so have been blasting out new designs. The first is a long sleeved top made from stretchy black cotton with red and black skeletons lace. There is a big black ribbon which starts round the back and you can tie up at the front to make a cute decorative bow. Then there's a sexy gothic black cotton and black fishnet long sleeved top with a lace up panel at the front and lastly a black cotton top with black and white polka dot sleeves and a white corset-style lace up front.

New Corset Dresses and Skirts!
I've been making a few more new things this week. First there's another corset skirt in navy vintage look tattoo print cotton, which a friend suggested would be cool. So there's the usual stretchy cotton waistband with rah-rah style lower half and adjustable navy ribbon corset style lace up front.
Then we're got an elegant black fishtail skirt which goes in at the knee and splays out at the bottom. The skirt has an elasticated waistband and is made from strechy black velour. I actually really love this skirt, it's very comfortable and looks pretty. And the bit where it goes in at the knee isn't so tight that it makes you look stupid when you walk (as some skirts do), which is always a bonus...
My new dresses consist of a cute gothic black satin corset dress and a black and white beetlejuice stripe style corset dress. They both have halterneck straps, zipper fastenings at the back, two tiers of fabric, 3 tiers of black netting, decorative lace up corset style detail and decorative black bows at the front. They are both roughly 27" long from bust to bottom of the dress and finish about half way down the thigh-just above the knee.
