And a new red and black brocade waistcoat. I don't have much of this brocade left ( in fact, I think I can make just one more waistcoat). This one is a size 40-inch chest. #brocade #gothicclothing #steampunk #slowfashion #handmadeclothes taken in Pontefract by @obsidiangothic

I've been busy making some new designs, and today, I managed to photograph them. Here's the Lydia Cravat Shirt, which is a fitted ladies cut with a detachable chiffon cravat/ pussy bow. I've styled it with one of my Jenny waistcoats. Both of them are now available in my Etsy Shop.

I love this micro dot 50s style dress . This was a recent commission for a birthday girl on her 60th. The skirt is cut in a full circle with a fitted v-neck bodice and capped sleeves.
I modelled the pattern on the dress form. As my lovely customer is a boobilicious lady, I  needed to pad out the dress form with one of her bras.
(This dressform is only a B cup).
The fabric is a cotton blend bengaline, and the material in the skirt was very heavy, which meant it pulled on the shoulders, so to redistribute the weight, I added a waist belt to the dress.
My customer also wanted a waspie belt to wear with her dress.  The waspie was boned with steel boning and I used a coutil and  black bengaline fabric accenting the boning channels with black satin bias binding.
I am open to commissions, so just send me a message if you have a dream dress you'd  like me to make ✨️

With this business, I produce lots of fabric scraps. I'll be honest. Most get thrown away, but over Xmas, I made this gothic scarab beetle from bits of velvet.
I got this idea from @afrayedupcycling . Go check her out 🀩

It's an outfit I've been working on.
I have a yearning for making big tulle skirts.
This one is tiered with metres of gathers.
