Today, just for something different, here’s some artwork from circa 1889 that features fashion and the Eiffel Tower. 🙂

And For Something Different…Paris 1889
What’s Next…
Things never seem to slow down at the Atelier- between putting the final touches on some wedding corsets and keeping dry from the recent torrential downpours here in Southern California, it’s been quite busy. This weekend we’re heading north to take do test fitting with some models as part of a fashion show that we’re doing at the Clockwork Alchemy 2019 which is scheduled for March 22-24, 2019 in Burlingame (just south of San Francisco). We’re not at liberty to give specific details but trust us when we say that it will be different than what we normally do. Stay tuned for more! 🙂
Getting Married In Old West Tombstone (In Sepia)…
If CS Fly was there that day, his images might have looked something like this! If you’re going to have an Old West Wedding…you’ve got to have a little sepia tone in your life. 🙂
Getting Married In Old West Tombstone…
Some formal images taken in our Tombstone parlor, just before we left for the Courthouse. The bride is wearing a brocade gown in the mid 1870s style, with silk pleating and soft cotton netted ruffles with a corseted bodice in a ballgown style.
This gown has a detachable train, so she can wear it later for a Victorian Ball as a formal gown.
The bodice and skirt front had vintage lace applique and bobbinette (netted) ruffles all pinked with my antique tools and hand finished.
And the payoff… 🙂
We fell in love with Martin as well…now they’re the prettiest couple in the West. 🙂
Another Corset Leaves The Atelier…
Black Chantilly and silk tulle, hand finished over blush silk satin…my heart can’t bear to have her leave for her new home. ♡
