Starry Gardens: Update!

Good morning, my lovely readers!

I know how anxious and excited you have all been for an update on the fabric design of Starry Gardens, designed by Pop Princess' very own, talented and amazing Flor! We have been working hard to make sure everything was just right before we send out for swatches to test the different colorways/design.

Well... let's be honest here, Flor is the one that has been working so hard and being super amazing! She has made a few minor changes to the border print itself, tweaked some colors, and given you girls an lovely variety in colorway choices! Round of applause for this girl because she has been an absolute dream to work with, and deserves so so so so much praise! I have just been on the sidelines going something like: "Add colorway? Quick change here, and here?" and "You are the most amazing person in the whole world, go, Flor, go! I love youuuu!" : >

I also have some other exciting news! Besides Pop Princess appearing at Tekkosocon and Frill fashion shows in these up coming months, the brand will be doing a huge photo shoot for the runway pieces and will be sending them over to a Berlin based magazine, alt // cramer, to be considered as a featured designer in their up and coming magazine focused on featuring brand and up and coming talents of Gothic, Lolita, and Punk fashion! Cross the fingers we get chosen, the deadline is in June!

On to the gorgeous print and its colorways! <3 We decided to do the criss cross star design and a simple starry design for two options!

Though I have been quite a busy bee trying to get on track sewing/designing the runway designs, I thought I would share some rough pen sketches of the pieces I would like to design with Starry Garden for the runway! Color versions in the future! (I haven't had time to sketch the skirt yet! : O)
I am thinking light, ethereal, airy---breezy chiffon, silks, organza.

I am thinking of releasing the Starry Gardens print at the end of May/June, and will be able to do a pre-order for all interested lovelies! And yes, I promise to have plus size designs available as well as custom commissions! Just need to get to this fashion show first! : o Now would be a fabulous time to pull a Cinderella or Snow White and have magical, enchanted fuzzy animals to help me sew!

What do you think, lovelies? <3 Are you super excited? Isn't Flor the best? Are you looking forward to seeing the actual swatch fabric samples?

Gotta go disappear back into the sewing room, but hope you're impressed! ; ) I am!
