One more trip round the sun for me!

My greatest regret is being born in objectively the worst month. However, I’m so pleased that my birthday this year converges with a visit from my talented friend who took this photo of my love and I a few years back!

We’re planning more collabs together this year so if you liked our Valentines pieces keep your eyes pealed!

The Llangollen vest is returning to the shop tomorrow! This time is made in a linen and cotton blend which gives it just a little more structure.

The new adjustable Edmonia skirt will also be in the update. The Edmonia is made in the same material as the Llangollen Vests and they make a lovely matched set.

Every romantic hero needs a shirt with massive sleeves. So to round out the look the Orlando blouses in white cotton lawn will be part of the update!

I can’t guarantee anything will arrive in time for the holidays, especially for international customers but Ash and I will be doing our best!

You know that feeling when you’re watching Pride and Prejudice and you just want to be Mr. Darcy?

The Llangollen vests will be returning to the shop December 2nd!

I designed the Llangollen vest because of that feeling. I’ve always loved regency era menswear so much!

I’ll also be adding a few extra Bathory Belts to the shop soon, along with a handful of Orlando blouses!
I’m almost ready to start releasing the next line, and you can see some sneak peeks in my stories today!

October is nearly upon us and we’re working on a few special items just for the season! Introducing the Imp Cape and Imp shorts! Both are made in a dense soft cotton and will be available in black or deep red. The shorts are available in all 7 sizes and have a removable devil tail!

We’ll be adding them to the shop on Friday October 13th!
The update will also include the Orlando blouse in black and white.
This will be ready made pieces so they can get to you in time for Halloween. Though if there’s enough interest we can run a preorder! No one said being a little devil was strictly seasonal.

I’m ramping up for a Halloween update! We’ll have Orlando blouses in black and white and a few special items just for the season. I’ll be sharing previews of them soon!

Many thanks to the gorgeous for modeling the Orlando blouse with the Llangollen vest and the Gruoch skirt! There are still a few of both styles left in the shop, and we’ll soon be adding a new run!

The Gruoch skirt in crimson is perfect for the looming autumn. I have a handful of these in stock still in this stunning red, Elvin green and of course, black!

The top featured here is the Adelaide crop top. I’ve had a bit of a time with this piece because I want to do a larger run of the style, but the stretch velvet I used is reclaimed and I only have a bit left. I’ve been trying to cut the use of synthetic materials as much as possible in my work so I don’t want to buy a material like that brand new. I’ve been thinking about maybe trying it in a cotton knit instead.
What do you think?

Here is Diana passing through this dark oak forest with her quiver at her back..
Finishing up final touches for tonight’s shop update at 8pm est and the Salome pre-order launch!
The ready made pieces for this update are black linen Göndul dresses!
The Salome pre-order opens at 8pm est tonight and closes Monday the 16th at 8pm est. I’m so excited about the new colors! (Swipe to see them) there is a 3 month lead time for these pieces, but I will begin shipping as soon as my seamstress and I finish them!
The Black and White tops will be made in the same lightweight linen and the new colors will be slightly heavier and more opaque.
The preorder will be listed in the Etsy shop as well. Quick reminder that the Etsy shop is for UK orders only. If you live anywhere else the I Do Declare webshop is for you! There is a size chart available on the website all the way at the bottom of the page.
Feel free to reach out to me with any questions!
I hope you all had a lovely Friday the 13th!
