Jolie is Dynamite!


Just thought I'd try our exclusive fashion on one of the latest Dynamite Girls. Though obviously a tad loose in the bust the overall look is well dynamite. A perfect dress for when they are not fighting fashion crimes.

what's a "La Rondine"?


A few people have asked me why this fashion was named 'La Rondine' The overall look of the fashion is a very dramatic one, a look i felt to be very operatic. La Rondine is an important opera to me, at my wedding, 11 years ago this May 24th, my wife (Larissa) serenaded me with a very well know aria from the opera "Chi il bel Sogno di Doretta", it's my personal favourite. La Rondine translated is simply the Swallow, a pretty bird and a pretty name for this fashion.

I've attached a recording Larissa did a few weeks ago of the aria below, please post here and let me know what you think.










Enjoy!

Valia tries a little Couture





I received the Valia doll probably a month ago, she looked perfect in her gown but I was curious how she'd look in a few of my favourites that I happened to have here at home. Jolie en Noir is beautiful on her the dress fits well, the open toes even fit though they are a tad short at the heel but it works for photos. Pretty as a Pearl is breathtaking on her especially with her hair style. Sugar Plum looks great even with the original jewelry that came with the Valia giftset. I put her into Platinum Pleasures just to see 'very pretty' our sling back shoes fit pretty well too. I'm glad to see she can share quite a few pieces and even some complete fashions. Another amazing doll to have fun with.
Enjoy!

Counter samples of whats to come


I thought I'd share some sneak peaks of the next fashions, which should be ready in the next few months. At the top is La Rodine, it turned out exactly as i envisioned. The skirt has just the right amount of train and the bra is adjustable to fit but silkstone and fashion royalty. Below that is Aria, the detail and beadwork on the bodice is incredible, so much depth it's hard to capture it in a photo. It's also a separate top so it can be mixed with other fashion pieces, very versatile. Blushing Bride (bottom photo) again is hard to capture the detail in my photos, the embroidery encircles the skirt with pearls and crystal beads hand sewn at the centers of all the flowers.
We should have more pictures including delivery and pricing by mid to late May. Stay tuned!
