Tic toc, we're late for a very important date!
White rabbit or Easter bunny,  I'm taking a few days off next week to skip to Wonderland (aka holidays),
If you need anything,  please get in touch.

Hi there,  sorry I've been so flaky here on social media,  but I've been jumping through various hoops the past weeks that kept me away from "the feed". Life of a mother-entrepreneur-maker I guess.
The good news is:  I'm working on stock and  new designs (as well as keeping the kids entertained during the Easter holidays). So please bear with me.

Hands up if you love a fancy collar! And collars from the 16th and 17th centuries are really the best. Curled, ruffled, gathered,  starched, - people invested as much in their collars as we do in fancy hand bags. 

I've made a new one for my collection: it's called a "falling band" and based on an exhibit at the V&A in London dated at 1650. After the craze of the Elizabethan ruff, this seemingly square or triangle shaped collar was quite a change in fashion. 
I used some wonderful Cluny lace for this one. As close as you can get to bobbin lace, 100% cotton, and wonderfully detailed. 

The first three pictures show the falling band, and then there are some pictures of the 16th and 17th century coats i made on other occasions, like Elizabethan ruffs and the jabots, which came into fashion after 1650.

We'll have to wait a little longer for the roses to flower,  but the cherry blossom blooming here in Luxembourg this week reminded me of these beautiful pictures Elena .mareels took of her daughter in my renaissance dress last year.  🙏😍🌸

Happy Friday to you all!

Last post about this collection 😉, but it wouldn't be right to show you all these beautiful costumes,  without saying thank you to a few people. 
This elaborate dress with constructed panel skirt was made by Morena , and I have to thank Rosanna and her helpers for sewing some of the tops and the baby suit. 

Thank you for great teamwork!

Eek! I've been on television! RTL Lëtzebuerg called me and wanted to do an interview, and before I knew it, the lovely Loic Juchem and his cameraman visited me in the studio. 

As a small business you can't be shy about an opportunity like this and although I really prefer being behind the camera, I am extremely grateful for this opportunity, - especially to showcase my work here in Luxembourg.  Thank you, and .letzebuerg.

If you missed the transmission,  I've put a link in bio.  The interview is in Lëtzebuergisch and German. Visuals for all.  😉

I like a little shape challenge.  Making a new pattern for something that isn't a regular block is always a fun adventure. For me to create and the kids to wear.  
For these trousers I was inspired by vintage harlequin trousers which come out wide at the hip. I created them in loops and kept a soft drape towards the knees,  which should be fun to walk around in. 
Here are some process pictures.

I've been working on a little ensemble of costumes for the past few months and they've just arrived at my client in the United States. 

"Costumes arrived!!!!!😍🥰😍🥰😍
They are stunning!! Each one a unique piece of art!!!" ...  is the message I got.  😊🙏

There are so many things I'd love to tell you about these costumes,  but for now,  please just share the little happy glow with me of a job well done.

Nicht traurig sein,  der nächste Fasching kommt bestimmt. Oder kommt doch nach Luxemburg,  wir feiern noch ein bisschen weiter. 😉🥳

Don't be sad,  the next Carnival is just around the corner.  Or come and visit Luxembourg, we continue to celebrate for a little while longer.  😉🥳

Did you hear me on RTL Radio .letzebuerg this morning? (link in stories). Veronique asked me about a memorable costume I made, and these seahorses from a few years back immediately sprang to mind.  So much fun! Rainbow sparkle lycra, table tennis balls for eyes and loads of boning channels to sew.  And then the challenge to get them into a reasonably small box to ship to Switzerland... 🫣😆 📦

And what a carneval these two siblings had! Priceless childhood memories. 💖

Cakes and tutus sound like the perfect combination for mid week. Thank you .kaiser.photography for sharing this cute picture.

Working on a batch of pirate shirts. If you like your little swashbuckler to head the crew in style,  please place your orders now. 

Shirts are pure cotton, vests are pure cotton lining and damask (polyester/ cotton) and trousers are from a sturdy pure cotton twill to withstand adventure.

Please note that coats are made to order items and currently have a lead time of 6-8 weeks.

Poseidon. God of the ocean. A wonderful combination of ancient Greek garb with modern costume making techniques. Wool cloth meets Worbla.
Here is some detailing. More to follow.

Starting the third week in January already and I don't know where time has flown. It's proving to become a busy year (not complaining!) and my presence here is lacking. 🫣
I will get some pictures of a sea god I made before Christmas ready for you and show them this week.

And then there is Carnival coming! Can't wait for the colour of the 5th season to usher in some cheerful brightness this winter.

If you prefer monochrome: I have one snow owl left in size 5-7 years, ready to ship in the shop. Fly away with me!

Frost, rain, wind, snow and a tiny amount of sunshine in between. This year started with a mixed bag of ever changing weather here in Luxembourg, so I thought I'll post some weather costumes to keep us entertained.

The snow queen was made for a wonderful photoshoot with all the way back in 2018. The rain & lightning siblings were a private commission to a long standing client (🙏😉) in 2023. The sunshine dress was a prototype, - playing around with ribbons and undershirts many years ago. And the Prince from the Land of Snowflakes was part of a family ensemble of eight costumes inspired by the Nutcracker and the Four Realms made in 2019. Rainbows next...

The Christmas spirit set in today when we went carol signing in Echternach and baked another batch of German Christmas cookies. It wouldn't be Christmas without Vanillekipferl.

Old and new traditions. Rituals that bring family together and tell stories through generations.

Thank you .kaiser.photography for sharing these cute pictures from her recent studio sessions.

There is one star sparkle headband left to purchase to delight one of your little angels this Christmas.

It's getting rather busy here in the studio and I totally forgot to post these brilliant pictures of some of my hats recently in action.

No better way to celebrate your birthday than in Wonderland style (no matter what age you are), right?

Merci de partager ces photos avec moi Delphine! 😍🥳🎩🫖🎉
