Getting ready for tonight’s update at 8pm est! Featuring the Sylvia dress in crimson linen! You may have seen it on @morgandonner and I love how she styles hers!!
I have a handful of the Black Sylvias as well (seen on @voodooodolly) would you prefer for me to list them tonight or wait until the size run is finished?
I’ll be posting previews of the two one of a kind styles for tonight in my stories, so keep an eye on those!
Unfortunately because of some shipping delays I won’t have the Clifford Blouses or the Gruoch Skirts tonight. However I will be adding them to the shop next Saturday! Apologies to anyone who was waiting specifically for those styles!

And when they were met they put off their helms and kissed together, and wept for joy and pity.
Another reminder that the update has been pushed back to April 30th! I’m hoping to be able to add a few extra pieces as a result! I’m loving seeing everyone photos in their new Bise dresses so much. I will be adding more of those to the shop in the coming months, and hopefully a round of sleeveless ones for summer!
Flashback to early fall and this lovely day with @artemisiadraconia shot by @11milebay wearing atomic from @mytholon_store and @ironagecraft and crowns by @voodooodolly

For the dragon had as aids smoke and flame, teeth and claws sharper than a shearing knife, and she had only her sword.
The next update will be this next Saturday the 23rd! There will be a handful of one of a kind pieces and Sylvia dresses in lack and crimson!
Along with the Cuirass corset I’m working on a series of Theodorè bustiers for later. This is a style I keep coming back to and I’m so happy to finally be on the verge of releasing them.
I really can’t wait for the warmer weather to finally manifest where I am. We keep diving back into cold, dark days and I’m so ready to leave them behind.
@voodooodolly is wearing the Theodorè bustier, Cloisters dress and her own new crown style with a set of hand tied stormy grey Pearl necklaces.

⚔️ Noli Me Tangere ⚔️
⚔️ Touch Me Not ⚔️
Another from our little trip to the Dexter Mausoleum in Cincinnati.
My dearest @goatspell and I will be working on some collabs later this year. We’re aiming for a fall line of coordinating pieces. The benefit of living with your best friend, wife and a fellow creator is that you always get to build on each other’s ideas!
@goatspell is wearing their Hellebore style skirt, a “Noli Me Tangere” ribbon belt and Starry Halo from @voodooodolly , a sample blouse and a sample version of the Cuirass Corset.
Part of making any new piece is trying out different versions of the style to see what works and what doesn’t. This particular attempt at the Cuirass style didn’t have enough interior structure so it wrinkled in a way that thoroughly spoiled the illusion of armor. The real ones we’ll be releasing have boning all around and a layer of heavy canvas behind the silk shell. This gives them a more sculptural shape!
Figuring out what works best for each piece is time consuming but also means that I get to be very proud of the final style!
Is there anything behind the scenes you’re curious about when it comes to developing new styles?

Can I tell you how much I value all my creative friends? People working to make things despite how much the world keeps trying to force them down, but also people supporting and encouraging anyone making art. I’m so glad to live in a time when it’s easier than ever to share things and get excited about making things with other people.
I’m working on new pieces for the shop update later this month and I’ll be doing my best to share sneak peeks as I finish pieces. Once all the Bise dresses arrive at their new homes I’ll be posting any of the extra pieces we finished up for sale!

Tear up that funeral shroud—you are going to smother yourself in it.
All set for tonight’s update to go live at 8pm est! This little carousel also shows off some of the pieces that will be in the spring line. The Clifford blouse is making a return in white handkerchief linen with lace inserts. I’ll also be introducing the Lister vest, a cropped style that of course takes inspiration from Anne Lister’s style and regency era men’s vests! The Adelaide Velvet croptops will be limited in this release but I hope to bring them back in quality in a future line!
Additionally a few weeks ago I posted in my stories asking if anyone wanted to see some daily outfits. I challenge myself to put on a look everyday. I have a closet full of clothes I adore so I better wear them! I decided to share looks here weekly-ish in a little carousel post. That way I can share the love for other small businesses and some of my favorite local thrift and antique shops!

The next update is scheduled for tomorrow at 8pm est! It will have the Gruoch skirts in black and crimson, the new Adelaide stretch velvet croptops and a few Salome linen croptops. Again this is a slightly smaller update but I’m working toward a really fa spring line! The Cuirass corsets are coming soon! I just got the patterns back from @digit_patterns who graded them into all of my sizes. Expect to see the first round of those in the shop in March!

So excited to be part of the @friendshipflea Tomorrow at 6-10 pm here in Columbus OH at 400 West Rich on Lucas Street. It’s going to be lovely to be alongside other local queer artists and makers! If you’re in town stop by to say hello and maybe pick up a Valentine’s Day treat! I’ll be bringing a few crimson pieces made just for this event! I’ll also be bringing a small selection of my collection of antique garments. There is such a variety of vendors participating there will be something for everyone!

This beautiful photo set was organized and shot by @lizabetroberts I’m always so happy when I get to contribute to her fantastic visions. This brought to mind so many memories of cozy times around a campfire with friends.

Do you ever think to yourself “I think it’s time to rearrange my entire studio and house.”
.
So that’s what I’ve been up to for the last few days. The temperature here has plummeted with a high of 13°f (-10°c) so my focus has turned a bit inward. I’m finishing up samples for the spring collection and sending the patterns off to be graded into all the sizes. I’m really looking forward to warmer weather and launching this new round of separates! I took stock of all of the pieces I reach for the most in my own closest and decided to focus on making those. I’ll be sharing previews in my stories as I get them done!

I’ll be adding another handful of the Hel dresses to the shop in the coming days. The next update will be in February and will finally include some of the armor pieces! I hope you’re all as excited as I am about them! I’ve had the best time getting all the pattering just right and picking the materials for these. I’ll also be adding a few one of a kind styles around d the same time.

The Callieach is solidly down from her hills and walks amongst us. Treat your animals well, else she’ll come for you.

Happy Solstice and good tidings.
I’m always ready to welcome the return of the sun as the wheel tips back toward light. I’m so grateful for another wonderful year being lucky enough to have this be my full time job. This year brought lots of changes both good and bad. I can only hope next year gets better! Please stay safe, wear your masks and speak gently to people. ⚔️

This past weekend @lizabetroberts planned a fantastic shoot with @_embrenn365_ and a few other incredible people. Wearing a new crown from @voodooodolly
This is the first peek at a few of the pieces that will be part of the drop part of later in December! I fell in love with these metallic silks and wanted to create some swift armor looks!

The Preorder for the Black Linen Bise dresses is still going on on the webshop and on the UK only Etsy.
I realized this morning that because of the way I set up the UK listing it marked it as sold out prematurely. So that’s fixed now! And I’ve added the skirt length and the bicep measurements to the listings so anyone who was unsure about sizing can check those! If you have questions about anything else feel free to email me! I’m doing my best to answer everyone as quickly as I can!
.
.
Thank you all so much for all of the support! I’m always so grateful to be able to do this full time. I am planning a smaller shop update for just before the holidays. It will be mostly one of a kind pieces as I work through my fabric hoard to be able to make space for new materials! Let me know what sizes you’d like to see most for Ooak pieces!

they/them
i rarely wear jewelry - it’s just not practical for my lifestyle - but experimenting with styling these pieces i’ve had since forever was quite fun. i don’t have any kind of crown at all, so improvising with chains was the best i could do :P
[image description: four photos of op from the waist up. op is white with brown hair worn up in a braided bun and a slight mustache. they wear a white dress with sheer short sleeves under a metal chestplate and black leather gorget. they wear a gold necklace in their hair like a crown, and three long gold necklaces over the gorget. additionally they wear a dangling ear cuff shaped like an arrowhead. in the first, third, and fourth photos op holds a sword - casually against their shoulder in the first photo, in a high guard in the third, and point-down in the fourth. in the second photo op looks back over their shoulder at the camera. the background is a solid off-white. end image description]
