I am overjoyed to be joining the team at GizzA Creations as a store model. My favorite new release at
GizzA Creations is this adorable "Dolly Dress," the Dolly Dress comes in some hot prints -- the lace on the arms, the lace socks and the cute little boots come included with any Dolly Dress you choose. I'm wearing the Dolly Dresses with some of my favorite Starhelm Trading Company hats. I finished off my outfits with some lovely chocolate pearls from Artistry by E.
Below is the Dolly Dress in "Floral" print (includes shoes) by
GizzA Creations
the Mad Hatter No. 1 hat by
the Starhelm Trading Company
In all the pictures above:
The Starhelm Trading Company has been around making fine victorian furnishings and steampunk decorative items for some time. In the past Starhelm was known primarily for their beautifully crafted working time pieces. With the recent invention of flyable, drivable nautical airships
the Starhelm Trading Company has reached a new level of what they are able to accomplish. As a professional 3D designer, the genius behind Starhelm Trading Company, Captain Alexis Sommerfeld prefers to use mesh when she is able. Making the finest crafted mesh models on the grid,
the Starhelm Trading Company has gained acclaim and attention by combining an artistic three dimensional approach to design with a keen understanding of the medium itself, creating whimsical and attractive technical accomplishments.
The Starhelm Trading Company has created a series of fine victorian hats, some flavored with steampunk accessories, like the Clockwork Hat pictured above. Others like the Mad Hatter No. 1 hat pictured below show a playful spin on victorian fashion while the Somber Sommerfeld Hat pictured last retains a more classic look for those seeking historical accuracy.
In the words of the designer:
"What could be more civilized than the wearing of a hat? For delightful afternoon walks, tea at the Queen's, or in the pursuit of SCIENCE, our Victorian hats will suit any occasion!"

Below are two similar shots without any photoshop filter effects, these photographs were taken for me by Alexis Sommerfeld, owner and operator of Starhelm Trading Company. I wanted to show the crystalline colorful clarity of the gems that Endra creates for
Artisty by E. I was amazed how this set matched both color variations of
GizzA Creation's new formal wear gown, Draakje's Dream, in Green and RedPurple.

These great photos were taken for me by Alexis Sommerfeld, owner and proprietor of the Starhelm Trading Company, I want to thank her for the great pics!
