We're proud to release this one; Cloth of Gold, as royal as the name implies. This gown comes with many, many extras: a detailed, sculpted crown like nothing you'll see in SL.
The other, a simple, lovely empire waisted gown with a unique and flowing skirt.

Don't miss it!

I'm on a roll here folks...
And yes, yet another release!
These two dresses come with 3 flex skirts, prim sleeves that are ornately decorated with prim jewels, two undershirts with a prim, jeweled collar, a prim jeweled tiara and veil, PLUS a custom original animation of an elegant curtsey. Currently ONLY at the main store.

This is a very detailed gown, with many prims.

Mary II

2008-03-16T07:02:00.000-07:00

I always fall in love with my latest dresses. (The downside is, I tend to hate my older stuff - heh.) This one is no exception, though I have to say, I think that I've never done anything lovelier.

This comes with sculpted sleeves and a pearl trimed prim collar and cuffs. Two flex skirt options and two different undershirts.

Ariella Gown

2008-03-07T13:23:00.001-08:00

If things have been a little quiet around De Fleur, that's only because we've been busy sharpening our sculptie skills! Look for new shoes, accessory and jewelry releases soon!However, we did manage to sneek a couple of new designs out of our heads. Witness the Ariella Gown, trimmed with feathers, using rich jeweled textures, and a subtle use of the new glow feature for an added ethreal feel.

Sept gowns

2007-09-14T17:47:00.001-07:00

Not sure I like the sound of this.

2007-09-07T17:35:00.000-07:00

I haven't really done much here but speak of my clothing, and leave the political commentary about the game for other places, but I can't help but be disturbed by this. It seems that Anshe Chung is hiring a team of up to 100 workers, to create content for sale for 10L in order to alter the economy in Second Life.

Now for something completely different

2007-09-05T12:26:00.000-07:00

Armor!

This is something that I've been wanting to do forever. I swear, so many ideas, so little time.

I'm really pleased with how they turned out, particularly the cloaks. The pictures do NOT do the textures justice, btw.

28 Prims, 6 colors.

Come see my main store! Completely rebuilt in anticipation of new products.

Just a couple of quick notes

2007-07-25T10:05:00.000-07:00

I've added some camping chairs to my main locations. They offer prizes of items of my clothing every hour, so come on by and check them out. I'll be changing them regularly so be sure to check back.

I'm also working on some new things, some men's armor, lingerie, shoes and jewelry. (Yes, I'm all over the place lately :) )

I'm also going to be offering a scripted set of veils, both for the face and head, which not only will allow you to change colors, but have many of the textures of my dresses as well. All in a nifty menu system for convenience.

Finally, I've entered the Budweiser Select Lingerie Legends competition. Should be fun. :)

And for those that would like to see, here are the photos I submitted.

July 17th Release

2007-07-17T15:22:00.000-07:00

July 3rd Update

2007-07-03T07:02:00.000-07:00

First Life's been so busy, I'm getting a little behind here. :)

Last week I was a guest on a live broadcast TV show here in Second Life; Paisley Beebe hosts a talk show on the ground breaking SLTV network, "Tonight Live". For more information go to her blog at http://paisleybeebejazzbird.blogspot.com/ or check out http://www.slcn.tv/tonight-live-paisley-beebe

I want to thank her and the network for having me, it was a wonderful experience and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Now, for some dresses. :)

Just a simple evening gown, but the texture is rather marvelous I think, I got some great almost metalic sheen out of it. Flex of course, it comes with two skirts and in seven colors. (I got carried away!)

June 15 New Releases

2007-06-15T13:04:00.001-07:00

June 9 - new releases. Miniskirts!

2007-06-09T12:17:00.000-07:00

These are all created from similar textures from some of our favorite, early releases. This is a miniskirt with a prim skirt that flows amazingly. Great for dancing. These are packed in mulipacks, priced at 250L. You can find them at our main stores Gold Coast (240, 57, 21), or in Catwalk City (58, 169, 46), or Galaxy AFT (96, 137, 21) or PetersonIsland2 (196, 191, 25).

May 27 - Part 2

2007-05-27T08:40:00.001-07:00

And two more revamps.

May 27

2007-05-27T08:13:00.000-07:00

This week we have a lovely medieval gown, with a hint of gaelic trim for you. Detailed with unique flex prims, it comes with 2 skirts, and our color scripted veils. On the other end of the spectrum, we have a lovely silk and burnt velvet evening gown. it too comes with two skirts.Finally, we're going back to some of our older designs, and revamping them - adding options such as alternative skirts, bodices, sleeving, using the things we've learned and been inspired by in the last year to update them. We think you'll like the new versions even better. Everything from 2006 is now priced 100L or less. But note: this is in the main store only for now.

May 21st

2007-05-21T06:51:00.000-07:00

I hear some people complain about doing custom work. And while it can be painful, I enjoy it. Every time I do something for someone, I come up with something, I think, a little better than normal.

Here is a gown I created for someone. The original was the cream and gold. But of course I had to add a few different versions in different colors.

I reworked the skirt prims on both the slender and larger versions. That, is the bane of my designer existance. If I make a large skirt, I'm told they want a small one. If I make a small one I'm asked to make a larger one. It's too large, it's too small, etc. So I try to make a variety. :)

In this case I pared down my normal ballgown skirt and did a couple of unique things to get the trim to display correctly. And in the slender skirt I did the same. Aside from this, these skirts are three layers of my normal skirts. One for the underskirt of lace, one which is a solid texture, and the other the gown texture with an alpha layer gradient, getting the blend to the waist that I prefer. I've discovered that I like having the non alpha layer beneath it, I don't get that visual bleed that SL tends towards with transparencies.

Shoes!

2007-05-11T20:34:00.000-07:00

Now, theses are not released yet. I'm still playing around with textures and things. But here are my first shoes. :)

Veils

2007-05-11T20:30:00.000-07:00

I think these turned out nicely. Flex, with a soft silky texture. Two veils, worn together, the outer one is jeweled. They're color scripted as well.

Celestial Collection

2007-05-09T06:05:00.000-07:00

These I owe inspiration to Paisley Beebe, who came to me and asked for a gown to wear for her performance for the International Space Station.

And in part, I owe inspiration to Celebrity Trollop, who said "Wouldn't that look nice in a midnight blue"... :) I also created a knee length full skirt.

May 2nd

2007-05-02T11:13:00.000-07:00

Wow, April went by fast!

I have a lot of things to post here. Some of them I haven't even put up for sale yet. But we'll start with the ones that I have.

I had some great success with a jeweled veil and some fur stoles. I'm very happy about that. I've also been busy with some custom work - I created a coronation robe and gown, and another ceremonial gown, and now, I'm working on something for Paisley Beebe (a fantastic Jazz singer btw) for a show she's doing for the International Space Station. Silver and planets and stars oh my!

I was also a part of the Merovingi Clothing Fair. What fantastic weekend that was! I meet so many new people, and so many other designers - I really felt a part of the community. And all my friends came out to see me. I haven't been that social in a long time.

I won Best New Designer in a contest they were running, and I'm very honored. And grateful. The prize was 500 prims in a store for a year in a prim location. I'm /very/ excited about it and will post more details soon.

Ok, now for the dresses. :)

3-31-07

2007-03-31T05:43:00.000-07:00

Being so in love with the texture from the last dresses I posted, I created a trio of dark, gothic sorts of gowns.

Then, I went on to make yet another texture - it turned out lovely so I designed a set of gowns around it, and used a variation on it for a shorter cocktail dress that I created that has an unusual twisted square prim for the skirt panel.

Here they are.

Fashion Expo and the latest dresses

2007-03-25T08:13:00.000-07:00

And two more just for Easter!

I've been crazy busy lately, and enjoying running my little booth at the Fashion EXPO. Come on down if you want to meet me, I and some others are modeling my clothing there most days.

I can't express how much I truly enjoy creating new things. Being an artist I get this incredible satisfaction out of creating. Sometimes however, I'm more tickled than others. This is one of those times.

These gowns really turned out nicely. And pictures do not do them justice. There's a shimmer to the texture that comes across in the flex that I really like.

Update week of Mar 18th - part 1

2007-03-16T05:46:00.000-07:00

As usual, I've fallen behind in posting what's new to my store. (I'm terrible about that, but I get so busy making things!)

So many things have been going on. I've rebuilt my main store. I think it's MUCH better, a lot more room and easier for people to see everything.

I'm now creating gowns for this lovely jazz singer, Paisley Beebe. She just performed at the Texas' Aussie Music Party which was, btw, shown as Second Life Cable Network (SLCN) presented its first live telecast.

I was even interviewed live for the telecast. How exciting. :)

Now, on to the dresses.

Finally some mens clothing...

2007-02-09T08:03:00.000-08:00

It's not much, but just a start. Two outfits, four colors each.

Catching up all all the dresses I've created in the last two months! Part 1

2007-02-09T07:09:00.000-08:00

I've been so busy I haven't had time to update here in a while!

But the good news is, I have so many new dresses to show you. So, without further rambling, here they are.

2006-12-21T07:29:00.000-08:00

I think this has to be my favorite dress so far that I've made. The details on the gown are all photosourced jewelry, the fabric created by hand. The jacket turned out fabulous. I've again used gradient alphas again on the skirts. I think I like that effect a lot. This comes, like all my dresses, with a couple of flex prim skirts. And in this case, a prim belt.

2006-12-21T07:22:00.000-08:00

For those of you that play in the Gor worlds, or just someone wanting to cover up a little bit, I've created a number of 'modesty' jackets for all my gowns and decided to sell them in large packages for low prices.

2006-12-21T07:07:00.000-08:00

I got to fooling around, trying to see if I could make a long train on a dress. Photoimaged resources and some playing about with gradient alpha channels. These were the results.

2006-12-10T17:59:00.000-08:00

The Champagne gown has become very popular, I suspect due in part, to a mention here:

http://blog.secondstyle.com/category/new-designer/

In tribute to this, I've created several different colors and put them up for sale today.

Christmas Gowns

2006-12-05T21:53:00.000-08:00

Four new dresses, wintry blue, ho ho ho red, cranberry red and holly berry green - we think you'll find these gowns like nothing anyone else has created. A touch of Renaissance, flex prims, two skirts, one full and the other sleek, all trimed in fur.

2006-11-17T06:34:00.000-08:00

I created these a few weeks ago. Photo reference for the top of the gown.

2006-11-17T06:20:00.000-08:00

As you might note: most of my dresses have a vague historical fantasy theme to them. Here are two more. In the future I might release different colors of both. Each dress comes with a variety of prims - sleeves, skirts, belt. I played around with a different concept on the jeweled skirt, it'll be obvious when you wear it.

2006-11-09T23:02:00.000-08:00

I thought I'd try something a little more like a Regency dress. It turned out nicely, I used a texture on the prim skirt that's transparent at the top, so it blends nicely, and used a prim band about the breasts.

2006-11-09T21:09:00.000-08:00

In the spirit of more historical gowns, here are 5 various prim gowns.

2006-11-02T20:45:00.000-08:00

In the name of 'catching up', here are some gowns from earlier this week:

My first attempt at something sheerly historical, black shown, but there's also a red and purple version as well.

2006-11-02T19:39:00.000-08:00

The Champagne gown. Green, Pink, and the Original. Texture was photo source, then used photoshop to manipulate. It took a lot of tries to get that texture to wrap around right, making the wrinkles. :)

Welcome to DeFleur!

2006-11-02T16:15:00.000-08:00

Welcome all.

Each week we'll post our latest creations in Second Life and tell you all about them. We hope you'll enjoy them and look forward to showing you everything!
