New Clothing line about to be launched

I am sick and tired of constantly gawking at all these pretty clothes which  can't afford, but can make. So finally, after much deliberation and procrastination, I am finally getting off my lazy bum, and starting to make some designs. I have an entire sketchbook of my original designs, some traditional ones, and some inspired by others. In case you're curious, I'm going for medieval, elven, faerie, gypsy, steampunk & tribal fusion bellydance styles, which are the kinds of clothing I normally wear, and the kinds I find are the most fun!
I will be making one of a kind pieces mostly like upcycled sweater coats, bellydance bras and belts, patchwork coats and dresses and aything I have made with the fine fabrics I have now, but my basic designs I will be offering as custom orders, things like ghawazee coats, harem pants, wrap pants, pixie hoods, vests, waistcoats,  pixie skirts and tired skirts will be available on order. I already have some lovely models and a photographer ready to shoot, so I'm off to begin sewing. By hand. Because my beloved sewing machine is having issues. Again. Here are some of the things that inspired me, and some clothing similar to that which I'll be making..













As much as it pains me to acknowledge my extremely talented competition, I must. some of the designs above and others which have inspired me are:
