WINTER WHITE!!!!

Available NOW at HOUSE OF DASHWOOD!!!...PSSSST....Only $1L on Xstreet for one week!!!!finally was able to fully release these two "amazing" gowns...(if i do say so myself)... I worked hard on the textures for the "Allison" Gown pictured left.... the ballgown..."BELLA" came together better... Slim gowns are much more difficult to do in SL... I think that is why you dont see many of them or the ones you do see just don't look that great!...Well I hope you dont think that about "Allison." The gown moves great...it has two underskirt attachments to fill it out at the bottom. ... Both these gowns are MOD...so you can change the color to your fav if you like...but I thought for winter...i would do WINTER WHITE!!!....

"Bella" is the Poofy Princess Gown to the MAX!!!!...TWO PRIM SKIRTS! The top one is mostly transparent to give an ORGANZA effect. The Beading almost ..(but not..the bodice is opaque...) Again, as with "Allison," "Bella's" Poofy skirts move great!... Havent tested the dancing yet.. will have to do that and i will take some pics!!! Hope you like these winter fantasy gowns by Dashwood!!!

SOON TO BE APPEARING IN AVENUE MAGAZINE!!!

I stand at the precipice of something that will benchmark a great undertaking.... from this point on time will be divided into before the ad and after.... OK, so not really, but I am hoping to get noticed a little bit from it...and what is wrong with that.... While I love designing for myself, I know for a fact that there are people out there who like to wear my clothing. I know this because they have told me....so what is wrong with wanting to spread it around a bit-- get more people wearing this stuff.... It's really CUTE!!! S0 this is a DASHWOOD ORIGINAL design...there is no copying, no inspiration blatantly staring you in the face... this is me... 

This is a mesh between formal and casual.... and the reason why i like this for Second Life is that the Virtual World of Second Life is the perfect place to be wearing something that will have hard time fitting in -in the Real World. Where in the Real World could you wear this... only to the Grammys or on an Album cover!... And how many of us really do that....So this is OUR CHANCE to wear something that is a little bit formal and a little casual... that way we still feel like ourselves just a bit "gussied" up!!!

AT LAST!!! A WEDDING GOWN!!! -- I know you will love it

We are back!!! It has been awhile but we are back and I have many new items at the House of Dashwod.... This fall the collection will be amazing!!! Much higher quality, Much more sophisticated, and much more DASHWOOD!!! you will be seeing the true Dashwood... I am done trying to predict what I think YOU WANT... YOU always want what I want with the exception of the Chrissy Dress..... I love that YOU all love that dress! I take that as a compliment and my inspiration for the dress Dior thanks you to. 

This Gown is sooo right now... and perfect for your modern fairytale SL wedding! It's Ivory... not pure white because to be perfectly honest...I prefer Ivory wedding gowns... I added a broach that is completely different from any broach you might see on an Amsale Gown... and as you can see this gown has ballgown skirts beat....this is a statment maker!!! So make your Statement! 

$500L  --- Available at House of Dashwood.... http://slurl.com/secondlife/Chronocules/78/27/22

Runway Fashion

Ok, so recently this little dress has been quite the item, and I'm glad for it. It's a little saucy, sexy, and definitely sassy! I am a designer, and I do create my own looks, but when i find something worth doing by another designer  I will incorporate a version of that ...or a "knock off" if you will into the collection I sell here in Second Life.  For example, this hot little number wasnt exactly "all me" I say "all me" because whilst I did the artwork.... making it my own now.... the design was heavily inspired by a fashion on the Paris runways! I give you...Chrissy!

The Looks of House of Dashwood

Here are a few of the looks I have created. First, is one of my best sellers, I call it "The Duchess" I dont know why exactly other than at my RL job we always name the looks and I think I had just seen the Keira Knightly movie, "The Duchess"

It has cap sleeves that are in a contrast fabric (hint: they are a blown up picture of diamonds) The rest of the dress is a pleated taffeta. 

Available at the House of Dashwood:$225L

The next look closely resembles the red Satin corset dress worn by Nicole Kidman in Moulin Rouge. It hugs the body all the way down to the bottom and flares out unlike hers. I love Bows and have to control my use of Bows on dresses, but this one obviously needed one. And if there are other BOW lovers out there I assure you - there will be more dresses with bows! 

House of Dashwood Introduction

I joined Second Life several months ago to embark on what would be a great journey. I feel like I was slow on the uptake with Second Life, when I created my Avatar Dashwood Muircastle in August of 2008, but I have since made up for it, by logging countless hours to launch "The House of Dashwood" an affordable but LUX boutique of clothing all designed by me, Dashwood Muircastle! The Looks at House of Dashwood are varied to say the least. But instead of a cohesive look which is soon to come, i assure... I wanted to introduce myself with a Sampling of styles that will find favor with a great many. Our main focus is to find a footing in the latest fashion dress market, but we also offer casual skirt looks and swimwear!

Please come on by for some freebies and some limited time sales. I'm sure I have something you would like!
