✨𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐆𝐨𝐥𝐝𝐝𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐆𝐨𝐰𝐧✨ Here is the back of the Golddust gown! What I love about this dress is how effortless it looks and also feels (according to my clients who have one of these gowns, I’ve made one in blue, black and now yellow gold) I made this gown from a rich old gold silk velvet. I added metalic stars in brass and gold on the shoulders and some warm toned rhinestones as well. The belt has tassles and gold metallic accents to finish the look. It’s the same dress as my Stardust gown which I made in a beautiful blue tone several years ago.

✨𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐆𝐨𝐥𝐝𝐝𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐆𝐨𝐰𝐧✨ Today I would like to share a new dress with you. I made this gown from a rich old gold silk velvet. I added metalic stars in brass and gold on the shoulders and some warm toned rhinestones as well. The belt has tassles and gold metallic accents to finish the look. It’s the same dress as my Stardust gown which I made in a beautiful blue tone several years ago. Now I don’t know which is my favorite, the silver/blue or gold/yellow version. Which is your favorite?

~ 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐍𝐚𝐢𝐚𝐝 ~ A water nymph that dwells in sweetwater lakes. My beautiful client @jesdru commissioned this dress from me in 2017. I am so over the moon with the hauntingly beautiful underwater photos she made with @mallorymorrison I made this dress from several layers of shimmering grey blue tulle. I let the edges of the top fade out by cutting each layer at a different length. This effect makes the dress look light and airy.

~ 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐌𝐨𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐌𝐢𝐬𝐭 𝐝𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐬 ~ I made this dress from several layers of shimmering grey blue tulle. I cut the edges of the top into a gradient by cutting each layer at a different length. This made the top fade out into the skin and created a light and airy look. I created this dress back in 2017 for the wonderful @jesdru I’m currently working through all of the gowns I made in recent years that I haven’t shown yet, on top of new work I made in recent months. So lots more to come!

~ 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐍𝐚𝐢𝐚𝐝 ~ A kind hearted water nymph found in sweetwater lakes, waterfalls and springs. My beautiful client @jesdru commissioned this dress from me in 2017.

~𝐁𝐥𝐨𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐧 𝐁𝐥𝐮𝐞~ And now some close-ups of the wool winter dress. I loved doing the hand embroidery on this gown! Carefully sewing each stitch. I also finished the seam allowances and hem of the skirt with handmade bias tape. The back closes with hidden lacing which can be seen on the photo of the inside. I hand dyed the ribbon to match the piping. I made this dress at the end of last year for a lovely client who wanted to capture the 20 week mark of her pregnancy. Fitting to Imbolc, which is tomorrow. Will you celebrate?

~𝐁𝐥𝐨𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐧 𝐁𝐥𝐮𝐞~ Here’s my beautiful client wearing her blue grey wool dress during her 20 week pregnancy photoshoot by @kobelevaphoto A little flower still hidden away, growing inside mothers womb. Very fitting for Imbolc, which is soon. The embroidery was all done by hand, I’ll show some more detailed photos in my next post.

~𝐁𝐥𝐨𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐧 𝐁𝐥𝐮𝐞~ A little flower still hidden away underneath a blue wool winter dress growing inside mothers womb. Very fitting for Imbolc which is just around the corner. I made this dress at the end of last year for a lovely client who wanted to capture the 20 week mark of her pregnancy. I’ll show some of her beautiful photos later as well. She wanted a clean and elegant gown for this. I suggested wool because of the beautiful drape and texture it has and to add hand embroidery to this to add even more to the texture and natural look.

+ Bʟᴏᴏᴅ Rᴇᴅ Aɴɢᴇʟ + And here is the back of the dress!! My favorite part of the wings is the back! There the wings really do what they were meant to do which is floating free. Growing from the shoulder blades and keeping the rest of the back beautifully bare. These wings were 3D printed. The original wings are hand sculpted using polymorph thermoplast. I had the originals scanned in, then finetuned the 3D file and then had them printed and painted them myself in a perfect blood red to match the tulle.

+ Bʟᴏᴏᴅ Rᴇᴅ Aɴɢᴇʟ + And here is the front of the dress with a closer look at the Blood Red wings! Thank you to everyone who shared my previous post, it really helps me a lot to get my work seen again ❤️ These wings were 3D printed. The original wings were hand sculpted using thermoplast. I had the originals scanned in, then finetuned the 3D file and then had them printed and painted them myself in a perfect blood red to match the tulle.

+ Bʟᴏᴏᴅ Rᴇᴅ Aɴɢᴇʟ + I hope you won’t mind me posting another red dress. If you like it though, I’d be grateful if you could share as I find my reach a bit low after I’ve posted very little last year. These wings were 3D printed. The original wings are hand sculpted using polymorph thermoplast. I had the originals scanned in, then finetuned the 3D file and then had them printed and painted them myself in a perfect blood red to match the tulle. The wings still need some work though. I need to find another material to have them printed with that has more flexibility, but I am super happy with the shape they have. And I love the Blood Red Angel dress I got to make with them!

~𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐑𝐞𝐝 𝐅𝐨𝐱 𝐝𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐬 ~ A belated Happy New Year to you all! I took some time off for the holidays to do some redecorating at home, then got sick and then had to take care of my sick little girl. The cure was lots of cuddles and kisses. We’re all okay again. Here is the back of the Red Fox dress. For this gown I used one of my oldest patterns. I elongated the patterns with a skirt running over the hips and flaring out at the knees with a small train in the back. A very simple design, focussing on the clean lines of the silhouette and seams.
