World Book Day costume

Hi! World Book Day is coming up on the 2nd March, so I thought I’d give a 20% discount on my book dress as it would be the perfect costume / outfit to wear on the day! I’ve also added a couple of new photos to the listing so you can see a close-up now of some of the details of the dress – the paper roses, the patterns of the paper punch I used, and even one of the butterflies I cut out of paper and added to the skirt part of the dress.

I loved making this dress and it would be brilliant to see it go to a new home. Sadly it didn’t fit a lady who came here to try it on, but she had the idea to wear it to cosplay as The Library from Terry Pratchett’s Discworld novels. What a cool idea!

If you enjoy reading, I think it would be a unique alternative wedding dress; or perhaps a fairytale ball gown at a literary event. Anyway, now’s the time to get it while it’s on sale with £50 0ff! Find it at Oshun Occasions.

Happy New Year! Oshun plans for 2007 & clothing discount news

Happy New Year everyone! I hope you all have an amazing 2017! I’ve got loads of plans as usual, but will probably only have time for half of them! If you’d like to know what items I’m planning on making this year, I’m going to start with a couple of velvet cloaks as I’ve had a few requests for these for weddings. Then I’m going to focus on a Pastel Goth collection which I’m aiming to have completed by late spring. For summer, I’ll be adding to the silk chiffon goddess dresses as the lovely ladies I met at the New Forest Fairy Festival have asked for some. More velvet cloaks and capes in autumn and then I’ll be starting a Steampunk Collection in winter. All the while I’ll be developing my made-to-order wedding and special occasion dress samples and working on those orders as they come in. It’s good to have goals isn’t it?!

On the admin side of things I’m going to finally set up a newsletter. Watch out for that because I’ll be giving you exclusive discount codes. Speaking of which, keep an eye on the Oshun Costumes shop and the Oshun Kids shop as I”m going to be heavily discounting old stock to make some space in my house! And please follow me on Instagram as I’ve been working on post-processing some Oshun photography and posting the photos there if you’d like to see them.

Thank you to all my customers – I really hope you had a peaceful and happy holiday and may your year be filled with creative prettiness!
