New Lucy Dress:)

Hello all:)This is my new dress:)
Finally managed to release something new, huh?
I will try and work as much as I can... but RL during vacations gets busier than ever!!!
And these days it's so hot that sitting in front of the PC is nearly unbearable...
So, anyways, you can get a DEMO for this dress buying from the poster like the one above in my main store.
I made the skirt after watching a 60's italian movie one afternoon.... thought "those large skirts are beautiful!". So I came up with loads of layers to give a full and fluffy look to my SL version of those dresses:)

And since I'm here writing to you all, let me give some credit to the people who made the skin and hair for the posters this time:
Hart Larsson of PXL Creations (Crys skin), and Kavar Cleanslate (Ayumi - hair).

Many kisses,

Clio

Theresa Gown

Hello all!
Sorry if I post this after so long.
RL has kept me busier than ever, and between one thing and another I never had time to get it done with this new release.
I think it's a stunning gown... made maaaany colours: 11 out for sale as usual, plus 1 for groupies... and 1 I will use for some special event hehe.
Here is a picture of the one I am giving out to all my group members until the end of the month:

As you can see: 2 different top options!
It comes from a suggestion a customer turned in. Always better to make the dress more versatile by adding things hehe.

If you like it, be sure to pick up a copy at my main store! As always, I have a DEMO out, too^^

*hugs to all*

and Friday at 3PM SL time.
We will be on the SIM SL5B Phantom! My turn to be showcased is Monday.... tonight!!!

There will also be a lot of free items give-aways, as all will want to gift you people with something ^^.

Then, this week I will also be showcased by an italian model agency, for its inauguration show! It will be held at DARNA DREAM FASHION on the 26th of June, in 2 different time frames (and showing different outfits) at 6AM SL time and at 12:30 PM sl time. Together with me the models will be wearing outfits from other 3 italian designers!

Katia line out!

Hello:)
I have released a new formal line in 4 different styles.
I made a ballgown, a long dress, an evening gown and a fluffy gown with a little split that I called Delicata.
The Evening dress is here shown in Peach, in a special version I will have for 1L$ to group members till the 15th of June.
It is NO Transfer, and the vendor will give you back the money paid if you are not wearing your tag, so be aware of that;)


Also, here is a sample poster for a complete package in another colour, pink, among the 11 available.
I might soon post also a general poster with all the colours as I did for the last releases, but today I just had no time to take care of that, as I was dealing with pictures that took around 20 minutes each because of that friggin skirt bug! Lol, every time I changed outfit I had to wait a LOOONG time before the system skirt would load... and I am actually not 100% sure all the pictures came out with system skirt fully rezzed... oh well!

I hope you like them!!! Let me know what you think;)

Martha Dresses: brand new flowery creation:)

Hehe, here is my very last release:)
Again: spring sensation! This time I went with roses. All the flowers you see are little roses, placed one by one on top and skirt.
On the back there is a larger rose matching the ones on the dress.
It comes in 2 different skirt lengths, and my usual 10 different colours.
You can see them all in the poster here shown (there's Zoey modeling in there, too! lol), and to try a DEMO on, or purchase any of them, here's a link to my in-world store:)

Let me know if you like them!

*hugs*

Zoey is famous!

Hey all:)
I released a new spring dress, always in my flirty, colourful and fresh mood.
This item is dedicated to my dear dear friend Zoey, who has been asking me for a dress with lateral splits on the top for ages, and now I finally came up with one, and decided to name it after her:)
This is the dress, in all its 10 colours:


The prim skirt is longer in the centre and shorter at the sides... cause I feel like uneven cuts! haha
And together with the dress comes a choker with a matching sculpted flower.
Be sure to come by my shop to check it out and try a demo ;)

Also, I want to inform you all that a photocontest is going on!
I am selecting shots of people wearing my items, and will be having them as posters in my shop:)
To get a notecard with all the info on how to enter, you can visit my store:) Winners get an item of their choice from my store, and their names will be noticed to group and the pictures will be out at my shop and on my blog, so be sure to send in your photo! :)

A bunch of hugs:)

Fleur is here!!! ... spring has surely come, huh?

Hello!!!
As you see, I am trying to get back into a designing period! Haha. RL has been so stressfull last month that I could never find some time to peacefully dedicate to SL, or to my dear dresses.
And now, here's a new release: yey!

In RL I see all around this very high-waisted top and dresses now. And as I was chatting with my super chinese-aussie friend, we agreed that the 'pre maman' style (not even sure if pre-maman is english...) is the new fashion.
So here is my version of high-waisted almost-pregnant dress:)
Since we're approaching spring, I couldn't keep myself from adding flowers and flowers to the cute pattern, which is all hand drawn :)))
And since it gives such a strong idea of 'spring', when my friend said: 'I would name it Fleur', I couldn't resist!
This time I added also a little clutch bag, all sculpted and with texture matching the dress!
It's perfect to go out shopping, and has an animation that will hold up your arm, so you don't risk to sink the purse inside the dress, hehe.
You like it??? (as always, I have a demo at my main store hehe).

Then, a little notice to group members is that I have a FREE set of jewelry available for all of you!
It's a set of sculpted earrings and necklace. Very very simple, but made with my very own hands (lol) and since they came out nice enough, I thought I would have them as a gift for those people who keep supporting me! Love ya all, and hope you'll come grab the gift :)

Emma Dress&shoes!

Hey there you all:)
Today I am posting about my newest release: the Emma dress!
Remember the Lilac spring dress I had out as a fund-raiser for some weeks for the MFA? Well, that item is not for sale anymore, after raising a lot of money (thank you all!) and a new version of the Emma was released in 10 other colours, all with 2 different skirts and a pair of matching heels included in the package.

I kept the polka dots idea from the Lilac Dress, as for the unevenly cut skirt.
All hand drawn once again, and here's a poster of all the colours:)

Hope you LOVE them:)

As always, a demo is available at my main store. Be sure to come by:)))

*hugs*

Pictures from the show at Casablanca Society Lounge!

Here they are!
All the wonderful girls who helped me out with the first show I have ever organised myself lmao.

It was a hard time to cope with all the things going on this week, mostly due to this fashion show lol. The girls know how hard it has been...
Anyways, here's a taste of what the show was like!
I don't have pictures of all the outfits. I have been distracted a couple times because I would paste on the wrong description (ugh...) and because I had a single-person RL audience who was getting me a bit too talkative hehe... so sorry but we lack 5 shots.
Here are the girls, anyways, another big thank you to all of them, Annabelle, SerinaJane, Liane, Tiffany, Yvonne and Willemina.
You deserve some special prize for being so patient with me hehe.

And also look at the little loner on the stand on the far right of the pictures... that's me announcing... and hitting my own head when I did that only thing wrong! Lol.


















Thanks to the owners and managers of the Casablanca Society Lounge (click here to visit inworld:)) and to the gorgeous models and warm audience!!!

Cheers!

Merovingi Fashion Awards over!

Hey all!
I have just gone through the fullest week of my whole Second Life.
I have run in a contest among loads of very talented people, got the chance to meet some of them, organised that famous fashion show (which went great!!! I will post some pictures)...
And I need to thank SO many people for their support during this time! I was so glad to get your appreciations through this, and your votes hehe:)
Unfortunately they were not enough to actually walk home with a little statue in my hands, but they were definitely enough to make me feel so proud.
I hope I will always deserve those votes I was given this week, and for that I'll try and make sure I will keep improving! ... there's always another chance next year ;-)

Sending you a BIG BIG hug... thank you all for being so wonderfully supportive!!!

Clio:)
