More Christmas Mini's!

I re-tooled a favorite pattern of mine (my itty bitty baby doll top) into a mini dress and encrusted it with laces, and sparkly Christmas trims. Each of these dresses have button details and a velcro closure for easy on and off. The eyelash trim was sooooooo small it had to sewn on by hand. Ditto the tinsel trims. If you see anything here that has sold in the shop, just drop me a line. I'll gladly re-make it for you. Happy Holidays sweeties!

Christmas time in GodesiaLand...

Snow drifting over pretty pines and the smell of apple cider and yummy baked goods waft through the house..... Pleeeese! It's a sunny 74 degrees here in Florida today, not a snowflake in sight. I must admit I miss the northern winter fun and it makes it a bit harder to get in the Christmas spirit, but I'm doing my best.

In the shop I have a few Mod and retro styles to amuse you, a smattering of hats and some more goodies to come. If you see anything that has already sold just give me a holler on etsy or Flickr and I'll remake it for you.













Thanks for looking!

Computer problems resolved (mostly...)

After being without a computer for almost a month now, I finally got myself back in the saddle with a new one. And may I say that as much as I do rely on and love computers, I've pretty much had it with PC. Next computer will be a Mac. I won't bore you too much with the details, but lets just say that if an operating system won't let you install software without a huge fight then it's a piece of junk. It's been 2 days since getting this new beast and it still won't let me install iTunes, OpenOffice, or Safari. System 7 looks pretty, but my God, give me a break already with 3 different levels of Windows 7 (home, pro, and ultimate) and the hefty price tags as you go up the scale. I haven't even tried to get my Adobe design suite on yet. Without them I'm pretty much dead in the water.
OK, enough with the computer moaning...

In the meantime, I've been sewing my little fingers off to complete the Brontë Slumber Party Collection. I'm almost done. I'm currently working on Gothic Lolita dresses and have finished Cami's, bustiers, baby doll tops, pantalettes, petticoats and bloomer onsies. Next up will be bloomers, bra's and panties. 


Here are a few work-in-progress photos of my tiny camisole to amuse you while I finish up the Slumber Party....

Here's the pile of bodice fronts all done and ready for cutting.

 Pattern pieces in place and ready to cut. The back piece wasn't right and I had to re-cut it later.

Last call for the Brontë Slumber Party!

It's last call time for the Brontë Slumber Party Collection. I've taken just about all the orders that I can manage and will be closing down the store again this weekend. If there's anything that you've been wanting to get, now is the time.

Next week I'll begin cutting for the whole production run, and I won't be taking any more orders from this collection while I finish the run. I'll post pictures of my progress as I go along, so you can see how it's going.

I have put in a couple big lace orders and expect to get those in the mail in the next couple weeks (one is coming from England and will take a bit of time to get here). I'll start working on things in the meantime, like bunny slippers, that don't depend on the lace that's coming.

Many, MANY thanks to all of you who have bought a goodie!

xoxo, Emily

The Brontë Slumber Party is here!

For your viewing pleasure I have 16 different items, all in a boudoir theme. There are 4 sections to this collection; sleepwear, streetwear, intimates and accessories. Each piece is sold individually and can be customized by color. Check the individual descriptions to see what colors are available for each piece.

Please note that this collection is pre-order and will be delivered in 6-8 weeks. I hope to take orders for a week or so and then close the shop, order laces and do a production run on everything at once. Some of the laces are coming from England and will take time to arrive. I thank you for your patience.
