MISS BLISS MAKE UP

I recently used a wonderful Gold Coast Make Up Artist MISS BLISS MAKE UP in a photo shoot for my "Forbidden Temptress" range, her work is amazing and what a delight she was to work with. She used feathers on the models eye lashes for this particular shoot as most of my dresses were detailed with feathers which created an exotic look for the models and my dresses. Bec Turner is one talented artist and she will also be helping out at the fashion parade we will be holding at ALOHA LUCY on the 7th of august, be sure to check this creative MUA out.

Pirate Glamour Head Piece

What an amazing head piece this was to create! Featuring a large black flower detailed with swarovski crystals and from the flower cascades vintage chains and diamonte's which then connects to a statement chandelier earring with treasures from across the world dangling on it. In the other ear one diamonte stud earring is to be worn to give it that glamorous pirate look. Available in different styles and colours and can be made to order, the sky is the limit for different designs that can be done for this style of head piece.

French Froufrou:- When i was creating this dress i had an image of a damsel parading around the back streets of Paris with her admirers gazing from a distance at her flouncing around in a garment that was detailed in pretty things, it has a sense of sensuality and secretiveness gracing its onlookers with the desire to know more about the women wearing the dress.

This amazing one off creation is made from a combination of exotic things, consisting of raw silk, satin deluxe, vintage crystals a range of feathers including peacock feathers and other sumptuous fabrics. The decolletage is detailed with swarovski crystals and the back of the gown has a slight gaping style which accents a women's back. Size 8.
