Artfire shop closing for now

I'm closing my artfire shop for now and will soon be putting my other shops on hiatus while I get ready to move cross country. Since I'm not sure what my internet access will be like, during this time I'll probably scale back to a single or perhaps 2 shops. This will include my blogsites which link to my etsy shop and my ecwid shop. I'll keep the links updated, but if you are looking for a particular dress, feel free to contact me during this time at styletantrum@gmail.com. I'll probably be able to send out orders up until the last week and will try to unpack dresses quickly on the other end.

Meanwhile, if you're planning to buy a particular dress and hoping to finalize the purchase in the next month, you may want to let me know so I can hold that one out so I can find it first :)

Moving's a big deal...:)

I've been adding new designs to my various shops, and I'll showcase a couple of these to give you a feel for them. You can find a link to my shops in the bar under the header. Go take a peek and guess...like me...what I'll make next :)

Handmade Gifts

Sweet and Swirly Ange Douce Strapless Dress

She dreamed of one day having a tiny little garden with soft old fashioned roses in cream and yellow. She envisioned a little white fence and a swing for two to enjoy summer sunsets. She dreamed of one day having a wading pool and swing set in that same little garden with tiny little treble voices calling to them in the swing...it was on her someday mind.

Ange Douce is one of those dresses that make me smile every time I see it. It is based on a bustier top and hand draped to give it a unique design. I has a pixie, swirly hemline with an underlayer of raw cut white cotton. The top layer of the dress is taffy or ecru sheer soft net and is swishy and swirly to wear. I has a peep hole near the waist in the back with hand created little waterfall trim that drip down above and below the cut out. It is sort of a masterpiece and I love it. It is tiny, but exquisite. I had so much fun making it.

I was awed and happy to have it worn at the Mid Atlantic Green Wedding Showcase by Joy, a really beautiful model with a tiny waist just perfect for the gown. Some gowns just make me so happy!!

Sonnet Simple Cotton Beach Classical Wedding or Ball Gown

One of a kind soft white grecian style cotton empire waist wedding gown, Sonnet is a soft bias, swirly skirt attached to a jersey 'pleated' ecru layered bodice with an asymmetrical raw cut cotton and raw ecru net bordered hemline.

A single layer of soft recycled cotton is perfect for beach or casual weddings or evenings dancing by the sea. Wear this one barefoot, or add strappy heels and savoir faire.

Style Tantrum - Colorada Shop News!

I am reopening several of my shops that have been shuttered since November while I prepared for a fashion show and made it to the holidays. When I got done with the Mid Atlantic Green Wedding Showcase Eco Fashion Show at the end of February, I felt I needed a bit of a break to regroup and make plans for my business. At the time that included deciding where to continue to host my shops and even whether to continue selling in online venues.

I have since reopened a shop at Zibbet and Artfire , as well as reopening a relatively new shop on DaWanda which serves a broader international base. I also have reopened the widget shop here on my blog and my Delight blog. Not everything is posted, especially some of my newest designs. I'm working on listing regularly and hope to get these listed soon.

I am still doing custom designs for customers requesting their own designs or something I've made in another size. While I don't make copies of my one of a kind garments, I do create things in a similar style for when you fall in love with a particular design.

For loyal fans that have a favorite design that has disappeared from view and want to know if it has sold, contact me here or via Facebook or by email at styletantrum@gmail.com and I can tell you. Thank you to everyone who has purchased my designs or followed me from colorada.Etsy or another shop. I heart you <3 !

Creme D'Or Wedding or Ball Gown

Creme D'Or is a gown created from a recycled simple empire waist brocade gown. I loved adding satin in golds and lighter ecru shades to give it a look of glamour from the era around the 1950s. This gown has a swishy ecru net panel that floats around your legs and gives it a tiny train. It also has a soft vintage lace panel on one side of the hemline.
