Meet me in the deep woods and we’ll hide from winters chill. . . . . Driving out tomorrow heading for the @darksomecraftmkt at Mount Moriah Cemetery in Philadelphia. It’s a long way but luckily @voodooodolly and I will be traveling together! It helps to have a good friend to share an 8 hour drive! We’ll both have some fun surprises pieces at the market including one of a kind styles alongside some of my standard styles. I’ll be doing my best to share some previews in my stories. . . Also just waiting on some final info before posting all about the Bise preorder! I’m excited to be able to launch this as it’s been one of my signature styles!

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! #idodeclareshop #ixdoxdeclare #knightcore #shopsmall #linendress #crimsonlinen #sylviadress #slowfashion #indiedesigner #renaissance #renaissancestyle #smallbusinessowner #smallbusiness #womenwithswords (at Columbus, Ohio) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cc-ykYSLIQK/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
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! #battlewitch #callieach #idodeclareshop #womanownedbusiness #queerstyle #queerownedbusiness #gothgoth #witch #witchstyle #witchesofinstagram #gothaesthetic #gothgothgoth #knightcore #renaissance #renaissancestyle #reaper #gothstyle #gruoch #slowfashion #greenfashion #linen #linenskirt (at Columbus, Ohio) https://www.instagram.com/p/CaNkmZRPK-C/?utm_medium=tumblr

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!
As the days lengthen and the Cailleach returns to her mountains Companions gather once again. . . . 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. Models are: @freshwatercarp_layla @tatas.fashion @victorianguyen.model @lianacarissa Outfits: @ixdoxdeclare @folkofthewood @costureroreal Weaponry: @drunkensmithy
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! Photo by @goatspell I’m wearing a sample Velvet Sylvia dress backwards with a test version of an armor under bust corset and my favorite @voodooodolly starry halo.
There is neither moon nor sun in the country from which I come; there is naught but space and shadow… . . . 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. . . .
