Read article

The twilight parlour is the home website of AZAC designs and Azrael´s accomplice designs where they list their corset works, underpinnings, bridal gowns, masquerade and cocktail and masquerade gowns... A delightful, strange, alluring  and beautiful collection of the highest quality to discover.  The company was founded and still run by the skilled and creative designerTracy Robertson, known as "Batty" in the underground fashion/subculture. The passion behind the designs is really obvious, nourishing from vintage, modern, historical, gothic and a wealth of influences. So here I go with some handpicks so you can make an idea of what i'm talking about!   Above: Fairytale princess dress: Though it can be obviously used as a wedding dress I like this dress cos it reminds me a bit to Sarah ball gown in "Labyrinth".

Marie Antoinette and other Rococo fantasies

Read article

  There is just SO MUCH about this period and style that this is the first of quite a few articles around this topic... Still we had to start some point and here we are. Recently, Sophia Coppola's aproachment to this character (performed in the movie by Kirsten Dunst) in  Marie Antoinette drew new attention to it and The Rococo period (late 18th century) rendered really the most flamboyant, colorful and beautiful dresses in fashion history. A tight bodice right with a front stomacher to enhance women's sihouettes and ahem!... generous sexy generous breasts, along with a wide skirt with the proper side panniers and petticoat.   Above: Rococo Marie Antoinette dress made by "Time after Time designs" Hats, artificial flowers, ribbons... More and more ornaments almost sinfully. If you want a custom made  "Marie Antoinette" corset  you can order it in Bibian Blue's shop. Based in Barcelona, we previously covered this designer in an article, aside of the collection that you can find on her website, she can also make a custom order for you. I have a rococo black corset for my performances that I certainly love (pics coming soon ;-) I will highlight this lovely dress called "Grand Marie" in "The twilight parlour" website. In ivory and cream color with flat fronted bodice and yards and yards of fabrid in the skirt! Looking here and there you can find dresses to make to bring your character to life! An affordable option is this one, the seller offers it in different colours at around 300$
