New Corset Cushion..."Eliza"

Find the "Eliza Corset Cushion" HERE
Made from actual corsets, each of our Boudoir Cushions are decadent, one-of-a-kind creations. Filled with our signature combination of the best pillow-fill and the most beautifully aromatic dried French lavender we can find, this cushion will add beauty, as well as a subtle romantic scent, to your boudoir or parlor.


The Eliza Boudoir Cushion you are considering in this auction is fashioned from a mattelasse-style champagne corset that is dripping with Belgian lace. Gorgeous champagne ribbons lace this cushion up in the back and tiny hooks close up the front.

The Marie Antoinette sachet you see in the photos is available in our other listings. The others items you see are not for sale at this time.

Marie-Antoinette-Inspired Dress Coat

Another of the new things I've made recently. You can find this one on eBay HERE.

I made it from scratch using a remarkable heavy brocade and a new pattern that looks vintage. I decided not to line it since it was already incredibly heavy and instead used an old-fashioned technique: hand-sewing lace trim over each and every raw edge on the inside. Phew! I had no idea the dozens of hours this would take!!! But it was so worth it when the coat was completed.

This is a size Small to Medium. The dress form the coat is displayed on is about a size 2/4. The sleeves are three-quarter-length and there is a pocket on each side. A silk-covered button and circle-yolk are all wonderful vintage-inspired details that make this coat your signature wardrobe piece this winter!

A Marie-Antoinette-Inspired Frock

I've had soooo many computer issues this last month but finally getting the kinks worked out and starting some new things I'll tell you more about soon!

In the meantime...here's a vintage dress with some lovely Marie-Antoinette-inspired details I just finished. I am currently enamoured with velvet and linen and am so excited to incorporate some of these sumptuous details into this romantic frock.

I've started the bidding low. Go HERE if you'd like to take a peek at this one-of-a-kind creation...
