Barbie Convention Exclusive

Here is a sneak peak of my exclusive fashion for this year's Barbie convention called 'Fifty, Fitted and Fine'. Appropriately named, it features a fitted trumpet gown of black faille with a nude lined lace bodice, scattered with beading and finished with a bow. The back of the gown features an inset panel of beautiful beaded lace. Pink shoes, fishnet gloves, purse and drop earrings complete the ensemble.

I'll have only 100pcs with me at convention (the other 200pcs are arriving later in July), the factory was busy getting the other convention surprise ready that everyone will just have to wait and see what I'm referring to. :)

When the 100pcs are sold, I'll be taking names on a list to make sure conventioneers get first dibs on this beautiful outfit. Also in room sales, starting Monday night, I'll have a fun satin sheath (limited to only 150pcs) featuring a print perfectly suited for Barbie which includes hot pink shoes. Also in room sales (and the salesroom if any are left), I'll have some of our older sheath sets, some boxed fashions, last ones of some fashions. some shoe paks as well as table gift shoes, all pre-boxed in groups of ten, perfect for last minute table gifts. Still more news to come.....

2009 Barbie Convention Silent Auction

For the silent auction this year, I'm entering a collaboration between myself and Rob Thompson of Robsdolls. He did this fabulous re-root and repaint to create a Barbie 'Dovima' . The display for our piece called "In the Bookshop" was my salesroom display last year from Kansas City, I had SO many comments on it, it seemed like a great chance to donate it help raise money for charity. I hope everyone coming to DC will take a peek and write down a bid or two you never know, you might win :)

2009 Barbie Convention Raffle Donation

I know its been a while but I've been busy getting ready for Barbie Convention, we're leaving (driving down) on the 4th of July. Lots in store and for sale in my room as well as the salesroom. Be sure to come by my room (meet my wife and daughter) and see the latest from Dressmaker Details. More info closer to the date but I think collectors will really like them.

This is what I put together for the raffle room at convention this year. All neaty packed away in a golden mock-croc valise. I'm looking forward to seeing the other donations this year, I'll have to get some tickets as soon as I can.

Sheer Sparkle arriving soon!

The wait for the highly anticipated fashion Sheer Sparkle is almost over, we are expecting it to arrive towards the end of next week or just after Easter (so dealers should have them a week or so after that). Collectors have been loving this look based on the sketch alone and they will not be disappointed. The dress itself has a noticeable weight to it, with the layers of pleated tulle, embroidery and crystal beading it is a true work of art. With a suggested retail of $89 US it's an amazing value considering the work and layers in this dress.

Sheer Sparkle features a delicate dress of layers upon layers of pleated tulle encrusted with embroidered details and hand applied beading. A simple bow for a touch of whimsy shows off the tiny waist of this dress. Smokey translucent sling back shoes and 'diamond' earrings and bracelet are also included.

You can pre-order order this beautiful fashion from your favourite Dressmaker Details Couture dealer today, don't miss out!

Enjoy!

Sheer Sparkle Speculations

I finally found some time this Christmas break to put up this post. Many have been asking me why I changed the colour for the forthcoming Sheer Sparkle fashion, the fact is I didn't. I'm sorry to disappoint, but maybe my sketch wasn't clear, it's really just a mix of taupes and greys with a brown satin bow. The embroidery placement changed a little bit but the colours have been right from the start. I hope to have some more pictures of this fashion to share soon.

For Boxing day here in Canada we're offering a couple (3 actually) of our fashions at amazing discounts (La Rondine, Moonlit Moments and April Showers). Be sure to check them out:

All the best to everyone for the coming year!

Happy New Year!
