• Style Inspiration - The Claire Capelet

  Published Dec 18 2019 in Accessories, capelet, Claire Fraser, Design process, Fashion, fashion illustration, Fleur Delacour, inspiration, Made In Canada, Outlander, Short cape, Shrug

  Does the term 'Capelet" make you think of a strong female character in a whimsical fantasy? Inspired by pieces worn by Claire and Brianna on the show "Outlander", we designed our Claire Capelet so you can be the heroine of your own magical story. This is a charming, flirty piece made to enhance the look you have on underneath.

  

  Considering your helpful feedback on our Samantha Shrug collection, we wanted to keep this design clean around the neck, without a tie or collar. An important aspect to us was achieving the flowing, cape-like aesthetic, while ensuring that it would stay on your shoulders. For this reason, we set out to create a garment with sleeves.

  

  

  The resulting effect would be that of a gentle swinging curved line, blending the sleeve in with the back, creating a unified smooth flow. We achieved this look after many versions and fit tests!

  

  The fit was designed for 4 different sizes instead of our usual 8, as the capelet’s shape accommodates a wider range of body shapes. The smallest one, labeled “M” will fit from a tiny XS body to a true M. Size “XL” will fit L-XL, “1X” fits 0X-1X, and “3X” fits 2X-3X. (It would make an easy fit gift!)

  

  Equally suitable over a casual outfit; elevating even a t-shirt and jeans the Claire Capelet is a versatile addition to any closet. Pick up this soft and lovely accessory to give your outfits a romantic, sophisticated finishing touch!

• Party-Perfect Looks

  Published Dec 13 2018 in Holidays, Party Dress, Shrug

  We’ve created a fabulously festive collection that comes in both regular and plus sizes, so you can sashay your way through the season with style and sass!

  Shrugs Two Ways

  Did you know that our shrugs can be worn two ways? Make a sweet bow in front, or, if you want to show off a fabulous necklace, tie it behind the neck to create a keyhole at the back.

  
  Norma’s Ready to Party

  One of our customers’ favourite styles is the Norma – the vintage inspired cut is so very flattering! It slims your waistline, highlights your assets, and of course, has pockets.

  Our Silver Filigree has all the glitter a girl could ask for, in an ornate yet timeless pattern. This show-stopper has a black background, so your favourite black heels are all you need for a cocktail-ready outfit.

  
  For show-stopping style, 24K Gold is a sure bet. The gleaming gold fabric is incredibly striking, and is accented by black flecks that coordinate this dazzler with that fancy black purse you save for special nights out.

  
  Sometimes, you want to be that splash of colour in the room of full of black dresses. The Norma in Garnet Shantung is the ideal choice when you’re looking for a jewel-toned stunner to make you feel festive.

  
  Classic Styles with Shimmer

  Our Lana dress also comes in several party-ready fabrics. If you’re looking for that classic little black dress with just a little something extra, the Lana in Black Shimmer has a dusting of fairy-like sparkle. Keep it subtle with simple accessories, or pair it with colourful shoes and a fabulous necklace to create a look that’s uniquely your own.

  
  Our Dita dress can also help you create the outfit of choice for your night out. The stars shine in pure white and gleaming gold on this whimsical pattern. Originally inspired by a dress worn by Dita Von Teese herself, this pinup style features unique seaming details and a full skirt with front box pleat.

  
  Whatever your party look, we’ve love to see you all dolled up! Tag us on Instagram, Facebook, or Twitter so we can see how gorgeous we helped you look.
