A Christmas Offering

Add Some Sex Appeal to Your Holiday

As the weather turns colder and the colored lights begin decking every house and lamp post, the feeling of the holidays really fills the air. My latest design is an attempt to capture that feeling...the flavor and joy of the season. And to that end...May I offer you a look at *Goddess* Chrisy Holiday?

This outfit captures the warmth of the season with its vivid red and green satin. Yet it doesn't stop there. The short mini skirt and bare midriff simply cry out sexy!  The skirt is mesh and designed out of satin with stripes of color running around the skirt edge.  The jacket, also made of satin, uses the complementary color on the lapels and collar. Even the undergarments are two-toned in red and green satin and embroidery.  And the heels also carry the satin ribbons along the sides.

The set contains all of the items in both red and green to allow for mixing and matching the coordinating parts. So so many options!

*Goddess* Chrisy Holiday is also available in single color sets: Red or Green.

December Gift for *Goddess* Apparel Group Members

As we enter the holiday season and hurry and scurry to get all of our RL and SL shopping done, wrapped, and delivered, I would like to offer this gift as a thank you from me to the wonderful group members that have been so supportive of me and of *Goddess Apparel*.

This is, of course, for the ladies in the *Goddess Apparel* group. And OOooooo will it look lovely on you!  The jacket has sculpted lapels and collar and a prim lower edge...as well as the seasonal candy cane  :)   The skirt is mesh and comes in 5 sizes, so you can find that perfect fit.  And oh the undergarments... bra and panties done in blue and embroidered with silver roses. Matching high heels complete the look. VERY FESTIVE as well as giving you a holiday option that is not the usual red and green.

I will be putting out the men's December Group Gift by next weekend, so keep an eye out. I am hoping that it will match the ladies' gift and make a nice coordinating ensemble. You will just have to pick up your group gifts and go out dancing together...and let me know what you think.

Wishing you a Blessed Holiday Season!

Fiona Collection

Formal * Cocktail * Lingerie

Forgive my delay in getting this blog out, but I have been a busy little seamstress. Instead of bringing out just a single outfit, I want to introduce you to a complete collection: *Goddess* Fiona.

This look began with a cocktail dress inspired by the fun and personality of Fiona from "Shrek." I wanted to capture her love of life....I hope I did.  Here is your peek at *Goddess* Fiona Cocktail Dress.

Fringed in scallops of black lace at both its upper edge and hem, this short cocktail dress is made of folded satin. It outlines the feminine form as it stretches tightly across a woman's luscious curves. The dress is strapless and dips down low in the back. The cropped jacket is a polished leather and is a perfect complement to this short, sassy cocktail dress.  The jacket has sculpted lapels and collar and a prim lower edge. I wish the picture could show the back view, so you could see the play of lace, leather and skin...very eye catching!

Once I felt satisfied with the look of the Fiona Cocktail, I looked for a design to bring this onto a formal dance floor. Allow me to share *Goddess* Fiona Formal.

This gown shares some characteristics with the cocktail version, but let me show off its differences. The cropped jacket is still sewn in polished leather, but the sleeves have been cropped as well with lace scallops edging the cuffs. The sculpted lapels and collar and the prim lower edge have been trimmed with the same lace, creating lovely waves of scallops as they circle a woman's form. The bodice of the gown is still the strapless satin with lace edging. Yet instead of a mini skirt, the Fiona Formal moves into a long prim skirt with an angled waist band of jewels. the satin of the skirt flows down in a slender profile to end in scallops of the same black lace used on the bodice. The lace creates an elegant edge as it brushes the floor. (And you don't need to worry about the alpha prims reacting and disappearing on you as there is an inner layer of fabric to halt such negative interaction.) I hope you find this gown as elegant as I do.

Now, no collection of women's clothing would be complete without considering the undergarments. Thusly, I have created *Goddess* Fiona Teddy.

As you can see, this lingerie set consists of a lace teddy and lace edged stockings with a very sexy seam running up the back. The teddy fits your form snugly beneath the bodice of either dress, and you can see by the back of the teddy how deep the drop in the back of the dress must be. The lace is simply a lovely decoration over a woman's delicious skin, letting the true beauty and glow of her skin show quite nicely. Can you imagine his enjoyment at finding this beneath the cocktail dress or formal gown after an evening out together?

Each of the above designs comes in 17 different colors so each woman can find the perfect color to match her inner goddess!

Oh, and I have created matching high heels and knee-high boots to match.

An Offering for Halloween

*Goddess* Halloween Nymph in Black

I thought I would throw out a suggestion for your wardrobe as you face the myriad of Halloween parties that keep popping up this month. Let me introduce you to *Goddess* Halloween Nymph in Black.

This is a daring outfit with a couple of skirt options, each with a bare leg. The skirts include a strip script that allows another to rip if from your feminine form...only with your permission, of course. And it gives you an option to set a ban list if you want to stop someone from trying to interact with your skirt. The bodice is decorated with delicate fall leaves while spider webs intertwine on the flowing black fabric. The deep plunging top compliments any form, and the allure of the deep back can't be resisted. The underlayer is sheer, yet still provides a touch more modesty as it covers up to the neck with a collar of leaves. The outfit also two glitch pant options for the two lengths of skirts. Each pants can be worn without the skirt as well for a very sexy look.
The outfit also comes in an orange.  Here is *Goddess* Halloween Nymph in Orange.

Come see both of these and MORE at *Goddess Apparel* in SecondLife.

Mix Netting, Satin Ribbons, and a Strip Script...

Baby Dolls Have Never Looked So Good!

After putting out those togas, I just couldn't resist taking dive into lingerie.  This time I walked a bit on the wild side in my design. Let me introduce you to *Goddess* Yvette Baby Dolls.

This little number begins with a satin bra detailed with lace and ribbons. The baby doll skirt is made from netting with ribbons weaving around the bottom edge. The skirt also contains a strip script that allows others to attempt to remove it, but don't worry - no one may take it off without the wearer's permission. The garter belt continues the lace and ribbons and attaches to the leggings made of the same sexy netting. But the real pizazz comes in the panties.  This set of baby dolls has two pair.  One is satin and lace...very sexy.  But the other has a keyhole cut into it for the very daring...too daring to show in this blog. Altogether this is an extremely little set of baby dolls.

*Goddess* Yvette Baby Dolls are already available in Second Life at *Goddess Apparel* in eleven different colors.

What's a Greek Goddess without a Toga?

Two New Togas Released at *Goddess Apparel*

After working in the lingerie department of my store for the last few months, I felt a need to get back to the roots of my designs with a couple of new togas.

The first is for the ladies. This toga is named for Hestia, the Greek goddess of hearth and home. She is a quiet, loving woman who knows how to bring comfort and contentment to all those around her. And that is what I tried to bring forth in this toga. Let me introduce you to *Goddess* Hestia Toga:

The trim on the fabric carries the traditional Greek key design and is bordered with a gold braid. The skirt tapers up to the hips on both sides and is tied with a knot over the right hip, letting the tie ends hang down to the knee. The strapless top is sculpted to fit a buxom female form and also carries the key trim. The scarf is unusual in that it drapes down the back on both sides but is connected with gold laurel leaves around the neck, serving as both shawl and necklace.  Beneath the toga is a matching pair of panties and glitch bra. This toga contains a strip script in the skirt, top and scarf, allowing another to remove them from you, with your permission only, of course.  Just think how content your man would be if he came home to you wearing this. I think Hestia would be proud.

The second toga is designed for men...my first men's toga. I named it for the Greek god Ares, the god of war...*Goddess* Ares Toga:

The one shouldered toga has leather straps holding it firmly in place - can't have your toga falling off in the midst of battle.  Leather patches attach the shoulder cape as well as make up the protective kidney belt. A sword finishes the look - it is a warrior toga afterall!  And gotta love the way a toga shows off a man's legs!  Hmmmmm....maybe I need to work on some kilts too!

Lingerie and Roses...

Sounds like a romantic evening, huh?

Well, perhaps!   My newest release wraps those two ideas together seamlessly in *Goddess* Rose Bra and Panties Set.  Here is the release photo:

Note the rose detailing on the top of the stockings!  Those roses carry over to the somewhat sheer panties, creating a lovely scalloped look to the edges. The strapless bra also has embroidered roses against the fabric.

Now while you may not walk outside in your rose garden in this set of lingerie, this is bra and panties set would be a wonderful foundation to any attire...and such fun for your love to find underneath as he or she helps you out of your outer garments. Certainly such an outfit is a reason to say to your significant other, "You bring me roses, and I will wear roses for you!"

This set comes in 15 different colors and can be found both inworld and on the SL Marketplace.

For those of you that want a little bit more fabric for your lingerie, I also have a baby dolls set with this style:

This set has a slightly different shape to the bra to allow for the flexi skirt to nestle in well. It also does not include the stockings. But it is also available on the Marketplace and inworld.

I hope you like these as much as I did in making them!

Should I change my name to "Victoria's Secret"?

*Goddess* Apparel* introduces *Goddess* Madison Open Negligee

Lingerie is surprising....what seems like something simple may enhance the human form in such a way that the entire person takes on a complexity that exudes both sexuality and confidence. That is what has been my driving force as I have worked on creating some different lingerie pieces over the last few weeks.

First, I gave you *Goddess* Madison Negligee, an offering that included bra and panties along with a sheer full-length skirt to the gown.

That works well for those evenings at home with that special someone, but what about those ladies who like to wear their lingerie beneath their clothes, letting that special sensuality remain with them throughout other parts of their day?  Well, and the men who hope for a glimpse of that as they swirl their ladies in a dance? That led me to the *Goddess* Madison Bra and Panties Set.

This creation added the garters and stockings so many of us enjoy!  Even in the real world it is hard for a woman NOT to feel sexy in lace garters with sheer stockings.

I have to say that this lingerie collection just didn't feel complete at this point...and so....I now bring you *Goddess* Madison Open Negligee...

Perhaps more of a peignoir, this negligee adds a jacket layer to the mix. The open negligee with the bow certainly complements the female form beautifully.  When I first showed this negligee, I got a response back from a friend that still has me smiling.  He shared this song with me: "Little Red Riding Hood" by Sam the Sham and the Pharoahs.  Click here to enjoy that smile with me!

See the *Goddess* Madison Open Negligee on that Marketplace - click here

My exploration of lingerie is ongoing. While these three make a complete "Madison" collection, I still have some Rose ideas...as well as others.  So you can look forward to some more options for those women who want to explore their feminine side in a fun and sexy way!  oh, and gentlemen, I may see if I can come up with a thong or two for you as well  :)

Luscious in Lace - Lingerie Release This Week

I am proud to announce the new release of *Goddess* Madison Bra & Panties Set - the first in a series of lingerie releases that I have planned over the next few weeks. Here is a picture of this lingerie set in black close up..and a look at the entire outfit in SilverWhite:

The strapless bra is half lace and half satin and shows a deep decolletage. The panties are satin with lace trim. The lace of the garters and stockings complement the panties so very well and tie this set together. Certainly this lingerie is designed for the delicate beauty of a woman. Oh, and I released it in 17 different colors. So feel free to pick up your favorite or several for a different shade every night.

*Goddess* Madison Bra & Panties can be found on the SL Marketplace.  Here is the link to the black: click here

You may also find all of the colors inworld - click here.

My next project is a lingerie robe that fits the Madison line....and ooooooo very sexy!

Teaser for next outfit...and a what teaser it is!

After gowns and togas and other outer garments, I have decided to spend a little time focusing on those sexy undergarments that we women all secretly wish we could wear...ok, and some men too...and perhaps some of us do  ;)

This is next release will be the first in a line of lingerie.  A month or so ago, I created a sheer negligee for a friend of mine called *Goddess* Madison Negligee.  And using that as the base, I have come up with a bra and panty set that includes garters and stockings called *Goddess* Madison Bra Set.  Here is a peek:

As you can see, it has lace detailing on bra, garter and stockings. The panties carry the satin from the cup of the bra with a little lace edging. The stockings continue down the leg in a sheer silk.and are attached to the garters with little bows. I plan on producing this in several colors...sixteen in total unless I get further inspired. I plan on releasing this by mid week.

In case you wanted to see the negligee that inspired this bra set, here is *Goddess* Madison Negligee.

Remember...just the first of several new lingerie plans for *Goddess Apparel*

Maternity with Style! - a New Release

I remember fondly those moments feeling that little one kicking inside me!  Such a fabulous memory!!  Enough to obscure those other, less wonderful moments...like trying to find clothes to wear that still let me keep my sense of style and elegance. One of my favorites was a dress I sewed to wear to a formal Christmas party when I was pregnant with my first child, a lovely dress of purple flowing fabric.

With that dress in mind, I bring you *Goddess* Faith Maternity Gown.

Even mothers-to-be deserve elegance with edge...and that is what this gown is designed to be.
Sexy gown with deep cut in the back and fun bodice design. The belt curves beneath the full breasts of an expectant mom while dipping down LOW in the back. The tiers of two-toned fabric on the skirt highlight the pregnant, curvy form of the Mother-to-be. The skirt also has a layer of black and white lace peeping through that swirls around your legs.

The dress comes in seven deep, rich tones. Matching high heels are included for a complete outfit look. The flexi parts of the gown are modifiable for that perfect fit, and the entire outfit is transferable for ease of gift giving.

I have a version of this dress that is designed for those women not expecting. Here is a peek at *Goddess* Faith Formal.

This version of Faith has a belt that has straightened now that your figure is back in shape, yet still has the deep plunge in the back. The salsa-style skirt flows from one hip in layers to the floor. A strip script is included in the skirt that allows another to tug and rip if from your body - but only with the wearer's permission. If the wearer prefers, she can give a sharp slap of indignation and even ban that person from interaction with the skirt again.

Welcome to my Blog!

Welcome to my *Goddess Apparel* blog.  I may ramble, I may roam, but I will also try to be sure to share with you all what is going on with the fashion designs of my store.  LOL

I have been working on some new items to my store this summer.  The most recent is a gothic gown that was first designed as a wedding dress for a dj friend of mine. I even named it after her...the Ellen. It uses both sculpts and flexi prims to recreate the look of a Victorian gown complete with feathered hat and parasol (which opens and closes upon touch).  I also added some ankle boots to keep with the period look of the dress.
Here is a peek:

Just picture wearing that along the paths of a fog-filled park or back alleys of London!  I have made it in a variety of striking colors, but I think the gothic tones really define the gown the most.  Since it was made as a wedding gown, I will also be putting the veil up for sale next to the gown...a creation of ribbons, roses and lace that really flows well with the dress.

As I work on designs for my store, I try to not only find an outlet for the creations that are filling my head, but also meet the desires and needs of my audience in Second Life and Avination. To that end, I am trying to broaden my fashion collections.  I am currently working on some lingerie additions which I will be finishing in the next few weeks. I have plans for some pirate outfits and some medieval gown and tunics for those role players out there.

If you have any suggestions or wishes, just drop me a comment and I will do my best to see if I can help your fashion dreams come true!
