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.

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!

New Gothic Lace Collar Dress

New Dress! I actually made this for myself as I had a girly party to go but had nothing particularly fancy or girly to wear. I based it around my similar lace top with a collar which I quite like, but made it as a dress and with more lace!

Its a gothic summer dress made from black stretchy cotton fabric with low cut front and back, which are filled with black stretch floral lace. The dress has matching gathered black lace sleeves with elastic, a black cotton high turtle neck collar and gathered black lace around the bottom hem of the dress.

Available for sale on my website in regular and plus size!

New Artsy Summery Leggings!

I found this fabric today and couldn't resist making some sweet leggings from it. I know it's getting hot for leggings, but these are actually ideal for summer as they are made from a light weight cotton, with lots of stretch and comfort. The print is a multicoloured floral design on a white background featuring leaves, flowers, fish, owls, clocks and text as well as fine sketch style printed black designs. They are full length cotton leggings and will be available in my shop, custom hand made to fit any size up to a hip of 52", all for the same price of £17.99.

Zebra Print High Waisted Hot Pants....

Another new pair of high waisted Hot Pants to shw off today. They are made from thick jersey knit fabric in black and creamy/off-white coloured vertical stripe zebra print fabric. They have super short legs and a high waistband that sits mid waist to flatter the figure.

High Waisted Pink Zebra Print Hot Pants!

I also made another pair of pink zebra print high waisted hot pants in the same zebra print as the pink zebra bikini in my last post, with elasticated high waist and sexy figure hugging shape. They are made from pink and black stretchy swimwear lycra, so they could be used as bikini bottoms as well!

Black & Pink Zebra Print Bikini

I made a new bikini top yesterday, about time too as I havent updated my bikini tops page of my website in years. But even better, I actually braved making matching bikini bottoms to go with!

The bikini top is a halter neck in pink and black zebra print with black elastic and adjustable tie up back. The bikini bottoms are made from matching pink zebra print with panels of black at the front with decorative ruching.

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 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!
