The Brontë Slumber Party - so far....

Well, here's the collection so far. I have a romper, pouty crocheted bunny slippers, a tiny camisole, a fancy petticoat, luxury bloomers (shown in the second pic), a long nightgown, a fancy bow, a babydoll top and pantalettes. All these items are made in my heirloom quality cotton batiste fabric and are fully laden with French laces and cotton trims. I'm not done yet and have plans for a few more items.

Each of these pieces can be done in any color that I have in stock. I'll give a complete list of all the colors soon. I have 2 linen/cotton blend fabrics in a handkerchief weight that I need to try out to see if they will work as well.

I'll be taking pre-order/custom orders on etsy as soon as I'm finished with the whole collection and have a chance to do the final photography. Once orders are in I'll order supplies and do a production run. How long these will be in the shop will depend on the demand, so we'll have to see how it all goes.

Thanks so much for looking my sweeties!

Bronte Slumber Party - update

I have a few new goodies to add to the collection. A babydoll top/mini dress, and pair of pantelettes and pouty crocheted bunny slippers. Each piece is made with an heirloom quality cotton batiste fabric and adorned with lovely french laces and insertions. The bunny slippers are hand crocheted by me and have tiny bead eyes and embroidered faces. 

It's my intention to create about 10 different pieces (that's the plan anyway, it doesn't always work out that way, LOL) and once they are done, I'll do a final photo shoot and list everything with the price here on my blog. 

All the pieces will be sold separately and as pre-orders. I'll put up a notice on Flickr once I have a date set for the pre-orders to start. 

If you have any questions, you can email me through etsy or flickr. 

Back from Vacation and working on the Bronte Slumber Party collection

I'm back from vacation and am settling in to do some serious designing. Since I got a new pattern book, Dollybird 10, I'm really inspired to make some yummy summer nighties and lingerie goodies. This issue is chock full of fabulous creations for a whole range of dolls, large and small. I've been cutting some of the bigger ones down for Blythe with mixed success. I got my issue from evilbay and you can too as there are a few left up for grabs.

The pink confection below was designed for the Living Dead Doll and worked out rather well for Blythe with just a few tweaks for length and width. I kinda love that old-fashioned onsie look.

If you want to drool all over yourself, go have a look at Daisy D's blog. She designs for Blythe and Momoko etc. and has contributed a bunch of patterns to the Dolly Dolly Coordination Recipe pattern books and Dollybird too. I swoon every time I go over there. Don't say I didn't warn you....

Godesia is going on Vacation!

I'm buried under a pile of custom orders till the end of the month and then I'm taking a well deserved vacation. The shop will be closed until I get back. In the meantime I'm planning a couple of clothes collections; A Bronte Summer Slumber Party (see the pics below for a little preview) and A Midsummer Night's dream dress collection.

I also found some more of that wonderful cravat lace for the Mod Mini dress and may offer up a few more of those as well.

I'm leaving you with some pictures of the FAB fabric I found for the Midsummer Night's dream dresses. All so light and airy, YUM! And I got some lovely iridescent lame's to boot. I'll be having lots of fun in July with this new fabric stash....

I'll be putting up a notice here and on Flickr when I got the shop back open, so subscribe to my feed or sign up to follow this blog to get the updates. Thanks sweeties, I'll talk to ya soon!

Sneak peak - Lightweight Summer Gown

Here's a little preview of what's coming down the pike here in GodesiaLand. I'll be making a series of these super lightweight cotton gowns that are just perfect for a soft summer night. So light and crisp that the dress needs no petticoat, it's puffy and beautiful all on it's own.

The bodice is lined with my heirloom quality cotton batiste and has a one snap closure in the back. I've used a fine quality French lace to adorn the bodice and hem. Sweet and romantic...

Coming soon....

They can be worn with the buttonholes to the front or back for 2 different looks.

Butterfly Dreams kitty hat

Brand new and coming down the production pike we have the Butterfly Dreams kitty hat. This little hat is 100% wool and felted with love in my washing machine and then adorned with a wee caterpillar sitting on a mushroom, who is dreaming of the day she will become a beautiful butterfly.

The caterpillar and mushroom are 100% cotton and appliqued on the hat. The butterfly is cotton fabric and has a wire armature with an interfacing backing with embroidered antennae.  The body of the butterfly is made of rhinestones. Embroidered leaves with flower buttons complete the scene.

If you would like a custom color hat just let me know what you would like.

Each hat is $45 and is available as a made-to-order item in my shop now.

Shipping in the US is $4.00 insured first class. International shipping is $3.50 first class. Priority shipping, both domestic and international, is available.

Spring Garden Felted Kitty Hats

 Spring has sprung here in Florida and I've got flowers on the brain. Thought I put a few on Blythe too. I'm taking commissions on these hats, so if you would like one just email me through Flickr or etsy and tell me what color you would like. Each hat is 100% wool and ties under the chin. Liberally adorned with buttons, sequins, rhinestones and my hand embroidery, each one is customized a tiny bit to suit the hat color.

Here's the link for my available hat colors.

Each Spring Garden Kitty hat is $35.00.
