The first model I'm posting on my account is this cute black silk underbust with white lace details. It has enough of black parts so I can combine it with the most of my clothes, and has the lace parts as a great contrast to the rest of the outfit. The first idea was black and pink but I figured I'll get bored by these pinkish shades in a while so the black&white idea is far more useful.

Another thing a lot of people asked about a lot is this lace blouse (most of them thinking it is a choker necklace). I like wearing unique and striking clothes, even for everyday occasions, and this blouse is one of the most practical and comfortable ones I ever made. Unfortunately, this lace fabric was sold out months ago, but I have a lot of laces with similar designs and details I can work with, so if you have any ideas or suggestions for your order regarding blouse designs feel free to write me.

And now, back to my favourite part-details. Since promoting various creative and crafty people has become a habit of mine in the past few months, I think it's time I mention one of my favourite creative individuals- Gordana Zurkovic (Mala radionica unikatnog nakita). She is a painter who makes magic with polymer clay, from abstract details to authentically made flowers and leaves. And with my obsession for orchids, her work became my favourite. 

This time I'm wearing my custom made white orchid ring and hairclip with some pink details to match the makeup and nails.

When it comes to sewing, pattern making, sketching and working on new projects I tend to be as effective as I can, managing my work schedule and leaving as little as possible for the last days before the deadline. That way, I can have enough time for my designs, sewing clothes for myself and spending time with my loved ones. Off course, that doesn't always go as it was planned, and I don't mind working until late night and running all over the city looking for the fabrics just a few days before the agreed date. Well, anyone who went to fashion design college.. or any college whatsoever will actually know that feeling. 

But, my lack of organisation is my mistake to correct. One of those mistakes is taking prom dress/corset orders at any time needed before the prom night date. The idea was to let the customer have as much time as possible for deciding on the dress color, style and design, that way getting the best final product we can. 

                    

The result I got last year was having dozens of customers ordering their prom dresses and corsets in the last moment. Literally, I had orders places three days before the deadline. There are two things I can do at those situations, to decline the order or try giving 200% of myself trying to finish the order in the shortest time possible. First option is stressful and second one more stressful, and I, being enthusiastic as I am, usually choose the second one. 

My fashion brand is quite new so don't judge, I still have a lot to learn and organisation of the business is definitely one of those things. 

So, let me get back to the point of this post. I'm announcing that I will not take any orders under three weeks before the deadline. In that matter, I've decided to give you guys a few prom night dress ideas. During the next few weeks I will be posting my new designs and sketches of several outfits and clothing pieces specially intended as prom night dress suggestions or inspiration.

Here is the first one, a purple victorian blouse with lace details and puffy highwaisted skirt with a lot of detils and tulle underskirts. 

Purple is, as you all know, my dearest color, and it is easiest for me to combine it with my make up and hair. I have my smallest waist cincher under the blouse to complete the 'victorian girl' look. If you have any suggestions of how you would like your dress to look, what details you would change on this dress feel free to write in the comments or on my facebook page. 

Jewelry: Sardonyx Lace

Shoes: 21 forever

Make up: Mac and nyx

Victorian is my thing definitely, I must admit. And with all this Penny Dreadful/Crimson Peak craziness and my wardrobe slowly getting overfull with embroidered coats, long layered skirts and big ruffled tops, I decided to go back to some older style I used to like.

Although minus 5 degrees is surely not the time for tulle skirts, it's fine with me as long as I have something multi layered wool to keep my neck and chest warm. Cold snowy weather was always inspiring for photo shootings to me, and this was the first time I did a shooting without getting a cold at the end of the day. 

The great thing about the knitted fabrics is that you can make a clothing piece that is multi layered, very warm and without looking like it's three sizes bigger than it should. And what better inspiration to make one for myself than seeing a large discount at my favourite fabric store.  

When it comes to clothes, I have two favourites that are completely different and are quite difficult to combine with each other. First one, as you can see, is victorian, with all the embroidery, cute buttons and floral brocades. Second one is a style I developed during my fashion design studies and unfortunately, haven't got much free time to work on it since graduating. It's a geometrical, neo goth style with simple lines and straight forms. 

This time I tried to combine these two. Sharp lines with my favourite high waist polka dot skirt. A few accessories like bat belt and cat eye sunglasses to goth it up, and my unavoidable purple details, this time nails and make up and there it is. 

Bag: Parfois

Sunglasses: Alliexpres

Make up: Nyx cosmetics

Stockings: Intimissimi

This belt was my design, and a custom made piece made by my friend who has magical hands when it comes to hand tooled leather accessories. It took some time until it was done, but it was definitely worth a wait. He has a small workshop here in Belgrade, and I'm already working on some new ideas I've got for him.

As for the makeup, lately I've been spending way too much time experimenting with new brands, colors and types of makeup. One thing is for sure.. I end up with a ton of liner, eyeshadows and some radiant color lipstick on my face. I have a need for drawing or painting I guess, so this was one form of it in a way. I promised a tutorial not knowing how difficult it is to actually make one. You need to have good light conditions in the room, all of the make up in one place and to try avoiding the silly faces you make while putting makeup. In the end, the first try was 45 minutes of looking for makeup all over the room, making faces and giggling the entire time. So, as I said, I will post a makeup tutorial, as soon as I learn how to make one. 

Hello guys!

First, I need to apologize for being late with this post, it should have been posted a few days ago but but I ran out of strength to do anything after working for more than twelve hours a day. My fashion brand keeps expanding and I have more orders every day and more obligations to my customers while still working everything by myself. Also, I have some new plans for the beginning of the next year so I'm working very hard on that too, and you will be notified on time about all the details.

Anyway, as I promised the last time, the new coat design I was telling you about and adding a bit of color to my blog as well as my wardrobe.

                 

I have been looking for this

I'm still in this "Penny Dreadful/Crimson Peak" madness mood so I guess you can expect more victorian inspired designs and ideas. Speaking of that, I have a new coat order and I'll do one make up tutorial, since a few people have asked me to, so I'm looking forward to next week. 

            

Although I wanted to add some color to my blog and make some things that aren't black, I found these beautiful metal victorian buttons I instantly got an idea for a vest inspired corset. It goes perfectly with a briefcase like bag and simple black lace up shoes. The only thing I don't like about it is that I had to leave out the corset busk in order to make the front part of the corset looking as much as the male victorian vest. 

            

Another thing I have to mention is a rather usual everyday fashion brand I fell in love with a few years back in Istanbul. It's 21 forever. They have clothes made of quite acceptable quality fabrics, really nice patterns and prints, and most importantly for me, unconventional shoe sizes like 34,5 and 35,5 (which is really a relief for me since I wear size 35). Somehow, other brands like Zara or Mango never impress me much, and here, I mostly spend half of the amount of money planned for the entire trip. I think there is not at least one thing that a goth girl wouldn't like. Unfortunately they don't have a store here in Serbia, so I always look for stores whenever I go on a trip somewhere outside. This time, I treated my self with these cute lace up boots.

As I said before, I wanted to add some color to my outfit, so this time I chose these dark purple eye lenses to match my hair. Definitely not something I would wear every day but I wore them all the time back in the day we were partying all the time so I got used to them somehow.

Hairclip: VictoriaPoison Shop

Brooch on the handbag: Sardonyx  Lace

Boots: 21 Forever

I made the sketch a year ago, with the idea of making a lolita coat. Somehow it turned out looking more like a wardrobe Hermione would wear to a class in Hogwarts ^^
