KathleenCrowleyCostumeCouture has dipped her toes into the waters of commercial pattern making for the home sewer - and that means all of you lovely ladies who like to make your own costumes, who like to sew, who like to pay someone to sew something up for you, or who just like to collect patterns!
Two of her most popular garments are being offered in multi - sized packages. These are not for the beginner sewster and this is the basic first edition - made up in order to get them out to you asap! Kathleen really wants everyone to get out there and be creative! And while she will still be taking custom orders, this will hopefully fill the void for those who cannot afford one her fine creations - or who dont want to wait in line to get one!
Read more here about her patterns and how to go about ordering one!
Fashion Shows are often a lot of hard work to put together. And when you have several designers working on it at once, and everyone is backstage with their various jobs that are required to pull off a little show like this, we actually have no or a very limited idea of what this looks like from the audience. As seasoned performers and artists who have had a lot of background in stage performing, we can visualize how we want it to look. We can stage it how we want the models to walk. We can direct the models in what we want them to do. We can talk to stage and lighting crew and get the most we can out of what's available at each venue. But we cant sit in the audience and watch. Not yet. So here is our show and we hope you like it!
You can contact any of the designers and artists by clicking on their pages or going to: salomes.suitcase@gmail.com
We are very happy to say that despite the club lighting, this looks pretty amazing! We do pull some great looks together. We work well together, we problem solve without too much ego getting in the way, and we have a lot of fun!
Its also nice to have dancers available who know how to pose, move, and show off the outfits with relative ease - they can tell a story with what they are wearing and make it look easy.
Thank you to Ariellah for inviting us to participate in ShadowDance as both vendors and entertainment!
Thank you to the models for your patience, and for your grace and beauty!

And we thank ourselves/each other at Salome's Suitcase - this is a rare group of strong creative women who work very hard to make the world a nicer looking journey for you.
Salome's Suitcase is pleased as punch to announce that we will be vending at the 11th Annual Edwardian Ball in San Francisco!
Not only will we be there selling our fabulous wares on both evenings of the ball, but Saturday the 22nd will be afree admission shopping day!!!!! That's right, you can walk right in and shop without having to attend the ball. I'm sure you will find something unique to wear that evening because after you see how wonderful the vendors' area is, you will have to attend the ball. Its wonderful and fun, and unique and you won't want to miss getting dressed up and spinning around the dance floor!
