The Swansong show

A picture of the catwalk made of water, ice and hot lava.
The audience sits on floating feathers!!
Really amazing scenery.

The show was a success,so many many beautiful gowns ,and i am still amazed of all the talented designers out there. The sim was full,the models did a great job during the lag,but the lag was not so bad for me(maybe a new hard disc helped)
We designers got a theme to be inspired of at the makening of the swansong outfits.
The elements earth,fire,air and water.
I choose water (my element as a cancer)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

My contribution is the Great Wave:

Bold, with a flair for drama, The Great Wave is sure to make a splash!
This one-shouldered formal gown, tailored in the shades of the sea, has a dramatic flounce on the shoulder, reminiscent of a cresting wave. The top skims the torso, flaring out into a sculpted bell skirt that cascades down into a sculpted mermaid skirt and train, a froth of crests and curls!
Make waves in The Great Wave!

Avalible just at the Blackswan until the 17th august.
After that it will be for sale at my Mainstore.

NEW at Ivalde Vintage-velvet Diva

Nadine is a mermaid formal, crafted in luxurious velvet! The short-sleeve top features a sweetheart neckline and centerline shirring. The shirred top hugs the torso down through the hipline, artfully draping and accentuating curves. The skirt top is fitted, with an accordion-pleated skirt, attached on 2 points, flaring out from mid-thigh. The attached skirt pieces are sculpted to create crisp lines. As with all sculpted skirts, it might not work ideally with all AOs. Great care, however, has been taken in trying to assure the skirt shape remains true to its' intended lines.

Available at Ivalde in rust,red,purple and green

NEW Release at Ivalde

Gunda is a seemingly demure daydress but full of flirty appeal!
This fitted sheath sports a modest scoop neckline which is countered by a large keyhole opening and sculpted puff sleeves. An inverted basque waist creates a streamline silhouette, neatly accented by a thin belt at the waist. The solid-colored, knee-length, pencil skirt skims the torso, adding a jaunty touch with contrasting colored kick pleats.
Gunda is for the perfect lady, full of playful attitude!
Available at Ivalde in black, blue, mint, and pink

Innocently Sweet !

YAY! Neferia is back but we both still thought to continue the 50s week looking over whats in store. The great news is now you can get into the main store, its FULL of amazing designs to suit everyone.There isn't one thing in that store I don't love.
For now lets take a look at Katja - a dress I would love to own in real life .

Katja is a 50s-era dress that draws on all the charms of that simpler day and time. Tailored with an off-the-shoulder look, two prim sleeves cap the arms, with a bodice that is delicately ruched across the bust line. A textured belt is included on a separate layer so it can be either worn or not. The flex skirt is knee-length and full, a perfect example of the bouffant dresses of the 50s!

I am back!

First off, I want to thank everybody for all the kind and wonderful words. They really made me speechless. I feel very humble and amazed by the outpouring of support and appreciation. Your kindness means the world to me! Reading over all the blog posts, I feel such a wave of warmth wash over me. I am honored you took the time to post about Ivalde/L`Abel. Thank you!
Secondly, I am happy to say since I now have internet, I have reopened the main store! I will be able to handle business issues.
Since its 4 weeks since i was online I lost lots of IMs and notecards with being offline for so long. If you have contacted me regarding missing items, lost transactions, etc., and I haven't responded, please resend. I am sorry for your trouble and I will work to fix it. Thank you!
Though I do have internet, my children are adjusting to their new home, and are still out of school. That, in addition to my ongoing health issues, will still limit the time I have in-world. So while I am back, it will be limited. But make no mistake, I am still around!

I want to send an extra special thank you to Ketzemin and Anessa for their help and support they gave unconditionally to me. It was a surprise! I felt so bad to leave in such a hurry and in such a mess. I have always known how extraordinary they are, but putting a store together on Retrology for me in one day was over and beyond anything anyone could even dream! Thank you my dear, dear Ketzemin and Anessa!

And last, but not least, I want to thank my dear friends in our Ivalde family:
Eileen, Fay, Seq, Kym, Beu and Sere.
You all are very special to me. I could't bear to lose any of you! You are true friends and my Sl life would not be the same without one of you.You are there for me in bad days and good days. Thank you for all your help, love and support. I love you all.

Love,

Nef
