Mad Hatter Vest & Collar

This jacket is made from a stiff knap brown fabric. The oversized sleeves are adorned with huge cuffs made from a faux suede fabric with a paisley print. Interesting decorative collar flaps in the front are held down by large brass buttons. Two ties made from gold organza ribbon fasten the jacket in the front. The back features two very long coattails attached with two big gold buttons.

The collar is made from a stiff dusty green fabric. Two gold organza ribbons tie it in the back. It is lined with lace.

The Dormouse Bowtie, Tunic and Vest

This adorable Dormouse has a long wine colored tunic, antique looking vest, and unique fluffy bowtie. The stretchy tunic is made from cotton knit and is gathered at the top for a creative design and for comfort and fit.

The vest is made from a fabric with an antique looking floral pattern. It features a color made from dusty green cotton. Two old fashioned buttons in the front hold the pieces together and two strips of fabric tie in the back for detail and fit.

The bowtie is made from a thick handful of tan toulle that is gathered in the middle. Additional strips of fabric are included to give it multiple textures. The whole thing is held together by a piece of twine.

Marilyn Manson Alt Dress





Another garment made from a reconstructed Marilyn Manson t-shirt. This mini-dress is absolutely adorable. The front is made from stretchy black knit and features two blue Marilyn Manson M's on either hip. The bust is gathered and trimmed with black toulle for a flattering look. Two D-rings attached to blue silk are attached for optional straps (which are also made of blue silk and can be fastened with two edgy silver clasps). The skirt is two ruffles: a shorter one made from a stretchy, black chewed up zombie-esq mesh material, and the lower made from shiny blue satin. The back (no photo available ):) has the same chewed up mesh fabric with laced D-rings lining either side for a corset-style appearance. A black bow in the center of the bust finishes off the look!

Riot Dress



This eye catching dress is made to super hug your curves. Stretchy black fabric makes this easy to wear and layers of silky black and white stripe fabric add interesting contrast. Gathering in the front of the bust gives a form flattering shape and a rounded, asymmetrical drapery-style skirt in the back adds a special design surprise!

The Misfits Punky Hoodie

The FIRST thing I ever made! This hoodie was reconstructed from my brother's size X-Large Misfits t-shirt. A hood lined with zebra print knap fabric adds warmth and comfort. Pockets from the same zebra print fabric make carrying things easy as well as keeping your hands warm :). Long sleeves make this snuggly hoodie super comfortable.

Materials Used: band t-shirt, black stretchy knit fabric, slightly fuzzy zebra print knap fabric, separating zipper

Marilyn Manson hoodie


This hooded sweatshirt is a Men's size X-Large Marilyn Manson t-shirt refashioned into a girlish hoodie. The hood is made from a stretchy black knit fabric and is lined in music note print fleece for comfort, warmth and decoration. A separating black metal zipper runs down the front, making this sweatshirt sooo comfortable. Long sleeves are added and attached for warmth.
