I hope you all had a good time the last year and I wish you a really great year 2012!

Well, my new year started with a suprise - at least here on DA.

As I submitted my newest gown here yesterday, I did not expect so many great feedback! I can even watch the messages for new comments and favs go up every minute I refresh the page :D



Over 1,000 favs and tons of nice comments! I don't know what I've done (at least the gown is no Daily Deviation) to make it that popular, but I really am happy about that - thanks and a big hug to everyone who faved or commented, and thanks for every new watcher!
I'd rather love to thank every new watcher on his own profile, but I have lost overview ;) - so I have to say thanks to all you this way :)

I hope that 2012 will give me the time for a lot more elaborate gowns :)

I have planned a few things and lots of ideas for new stuff, so let's see what can be realised :)

The next big project will be some retrofuturistic stuff - but no, it will *not* be steampunk ;) - it will be more post-apocalyptic, dark and martial :) - apart from that I'm going to make some gowns that will not be for myself. Since I will finish fashion school in summer (and be a professional tailor then, since it has been my most favourite hobby for more that 11 years before ... ), I already plan shootings for my business with other modes than myself, and I hope to do a little fashion show in august.
I already had the opportunity to do one on Amphi festival ^^ - which is one of the biggest goth festivals apart from WGT and M'Era here in Germany, but the jewelery designer who asked me wrote me two weeks before the festival - which was  not enough time for me to get things done - even if I only had taken some gowns I already had in my own wardrobe ...
So I need a few new things to show off ;) and be prepared for upcoming events where I can get the chance to do a little advertising for my work. Oh my goth, I fear I need a second wardrobe to store all that stuff :D

Apart from sewing and all that, I hope for a lot of urbexing tours, doing more photography in general and of course get better with that :D get a great degree at fashion school, visiting WGT and Gala Nocturna this year as well (as far as this does not collide with the exams), manage to remake my homepage (well I'm a nerd and do all the programming and coding with my own hands ;) ) and write another page for my upcoming business :) - and of course that I succeed with my plans.


I wish you all the best for the new year!

Many greetings from Germany!

I am a dark romantic goth lady from Germany with a lot of interests.

My main one is historical fashion and sewing - I love to recreate old styles and garments as close as possible to the original for Living History purposes, as well as adding a lot of fantasy to those styles and create historical inspired gowns with a lot more gothic influence ;)

Since tailoring was my favourite hobby for more than 11 years, I am actually turning this into my profession because I love sewing and designing a lot.

But I have to insist on the fact that my gowns are not "costumes" - I hate this term because it feels more like changing into another character and playing a role. At least, my gowns are expressions of myself and don't turn me into something else. Idon't do Cosplay or Roleplaying in any way - I'm not against these things but its just nothing thatI have in my mind when I make my gowns.

I grew up in the 80s, I love the music and the feel of that era. I'm a tradgoth in my heart and always wear pikes underneath my hoop skirts. I consider myself as a goth by nature because I always felt like that.

Apart from that I love photography, I have more experience in front of the cam than behind it, but I love to take pics myself and editing them as well.
Urbexing is one of my favourite photographic topics.
