Queen's Candy reservation and some news!

Hello everyone~! So it's been awhile and finally getting back on track with this spring collection. I will be opening up reservations for Queen's Candy this Thursday the 31st at 9pm. Please check the Reservations tab at the top of the page for more info. Jumpers skirts will be $240, skirts $130, Headbows $25. All other accessories/jewelry will be put up on my Etsy shop.

In other news! I finally got a recent review from a customer who bought the Alice and the White Rabbit ivory jumper skirt! Delano Hughes wrote this very cute review and included some wonderful detailed photos in her blog; Lolita Weekly.

Please check out the review here: http://loliweeks.blogspot.com/2011/03/little-macaron-reveiw.html

Finally~! Please don't forget about the "Follow the White Rabbit" contest! I need 100 or more followers for this blog by April 1st! Also, the high waisted skirt of the Alice and the White Rabbit in pale pink is now on sale in my Etsy shop for the end of winter. Please check it out!

"Queen's Candy" Spring Collection is now here!

So after a whole week's worth of sewing, I finally have both sample pieces done of the new "Queen's Candy" spring collection. This collection features a very sweet print of macarons and cupcakes and comes in two colorways. I was also able to make two matching accessories to go with the collection. Matching jewelry is still under development as I discuss designs with a fellow indie designer and friend, Aisha of Roserie.

Reservation dates will be up very soon. Right now I am in the middle of transitioning to New York so I won't have much time to sew, so those who are interested in putting in a reservation will have to wait a bit longer for their items to be made and sent out. More details to come very soon about that!

For more photos, please check out the "Whats New" tab at the top of the page!

Please note that these sample pieces are made a bit smaller in size to ensure my own personal fit. They are mainly based off of Japanese brand sizing, but whoever puts in a reserve will have a choice of a more custom fit according to the bodice or waist size. The light pink tulle trim on the pink JSK is also sample only, a brighter pink will be used for the pieces that will be sold. Finally, versions of the macaron brooch/hair clips will also be made in black to match the black colorway of the print.




Enjoy~!

Hello everyone! It's been awhile. February has certainly been a busy month. The Katsucon "A State of Elegance" Lolita Fashion Show was a huge success! I will certainly be back with a full report on it as I await photographers and reporters update their information on the show.

If I get over 100 followers by the end of March, you will automatically be entered to win this beautiful White Rabbit pearl necklace! So if you're already following this blog, tell your friends! Anyone interested in lolita fashion are welcome to join in! The winner will be announced during the first week of April. Remember! I need 100 or more followers by April 1st! Good luck everyone!

"Queen's Candy" fabric is here! And some wonderful customer reviews!

The new "Queen's Candy" print have finally arrived from Japan! This fabric is simply gorgeous! Macarons and cupcakes adorn the border with lace, and more macarons are scattered through out the print with tiny white polka dots and tiny red hearts. This print comes in pink and black colorways. Unfortunately, sample pieces will not be done in time for the Katsucon 2011 fashion show, so please look out for updates by the end of this month! I hope to have reservations open by Early March.

And now on to some customer reviews! These reviews are by 3 different people who have ordered accessories from me. I want to thank all 3 of these lovely ladies for not only making a purchase, but also taking the time to write these very wonderful reviews. I hope all of you enjoy them too!

Up coming spring collection!

Happy February! So I finally secured the fabric for my next collection. It's another print from Japan, but this time, I'll be taking a turn over to the more sweet side. This print is called "Queen's Candy" and will come in two colorways, black and pink! I hope to have sample pieces done by the middle of this month. Jumper skirts and regular skirts will be released from this print in both colorways.



In the mean time, I've been working on a small side project. I was able to find this fabric locally and decided to make some skirts and matching headbows (those are to come). But here is the finished skirt that will be in my Etsy shop very soon. A very classic look with roses, lace, and a pink satin ribbon.


A slightly longer version of this skirt will also be made available and will be priced at $75. There is also a section of shirring on the back of the waistband to fit slightly larger sizes. So please look out for this item in my Etsy shop soon!

Stay tuned!

Headbows and Charm Bracelet added to the Shop!

Just wanted to give everyone a heads up that the "Alice and the White Rabbit" headbows and charm bracelets are now available in my Etsy shop, along with two Dragon Ball Kai headbows!






Don't forget! Starting tomorrow, both the ivory jumper skirt and pale pink high waisted skirt will be 15% off from their original price.
