Stars of the Unicorn: The start

Just finished the first piece in the collection! It's made out of iridescent lilac taffeta (the flash picked up the blue tone more than the lilac), and seeing this fabric in an actual garment made me realize how perfect it is for the collection! A big thanks to my friend who suggested it!

A pretty basic skirt, but the rest of the co-ordinate makes up for it. I'm still debating on putting some Swarovski crystals on the ruffles.

Sakura-Con 2011


Ridi Kitty Design is proud to announce that we will be showing some of our 2011 Spring/Summer collection at the fourteenth annual Sakura-Con, April 22 to 24th in Seattle, Washington.

Our designs will be featured in the Lolita Fashion Show pannel, which will most likely run on Sunday April 24th. We will inform you of the exact day/time the pannel will be taking place, once the schedule is set.

Sakura-con is ranked among the top five largest anime conventions in North America and features guests from Japanese anime, manga, gaming, and music industry. We had a wonderful experience when we attended Sakura-Con 2010, and met many great people at the convention, as well as through our involvement in the Lolita Fashion Show. Unfortunately, We will not be attending the convention this year, but believe our collection will "speak for us", and create a magical respite of unicorns and stardust.

In late April or early May, Ridi Kitty will be showing 10 pieces from the 2011 Spring/Summer collection at another fashion show, this time a bit closer to home in Toronto, Ontario. The Fashion Jam is an exciting new fashion show that showcases cutting edge designs from up and coming designers. A more formal announcement will come later when the date and venue is established :)

Kingdom Hearts for Vday

Well, it's the day after Valentines day, but it did seem sort of fitting to be finishing not only a Kingdom Hearts cosplay, but a pink dress as well.



This is the second time I've made this Kairi cosplay, and I was happy with how quick I put it together.
It's pinned on my dress form, so it doesn't look quite as nice as it will on a person, so I'm really excited to see it on the client! :)

Commission details for Kairi's pink dress
Price range- $100-$120

This includes:
- Dress with attached hood, 3 metal zippers
- Belt with 4 metal rectangles, buckle and eyelet closure
- Belt strap with 2 metal clips
- Purse with snap closure and 2 metal clips
