Before I forget, again, here’s a newish release: Muriel. A gown with Victorian edge that is available in two varieties: One color, as shown above, or with a black skirt, and colored bodice over white lace, as you can see below. Each type is available in a variety of colors at Kouse’s Sanctum now. The jewelry set worn is the ‘Fleur de Tillie’ set from the Krystal jewelry brand. You can find these jewelry sets both at Kouse’s Sanctum, and at the Krystal main shop.

A Preview of ~Jayne~

Jayne - Gown - Promo

I’m currently in the midst of plotting for this year’s Fashion for Life event, so this post is going to be short and sweet: The new ‘Jayne’ gowns will be coming soon, to Kouse’s Sanctum. But first, you can find this special promo version at the main store, for 99L

It’s another release day, and that means that the draw for fatpacks has taken place! The winners are:

Tessa Sugarplum
Karenza McCullough

Brooke Midnight II

I’ve decided to have another draw for this release, so once again, anyone who purchases one of the new ‘Brooke’ gowns before the next release date, will have their name entered into a draw for a free fatpack of any gown in the store. Purchase two and have your name entered three times. 🙂 Two fatpacks will be awarded.

Brooke Sepia II

So, just what is the new release, this time around? Brooke is a 10 piece set. Each dress features a golden bodice over top of a cream chemise with puffed sleeves.

Brooke Emerald

There are two bodice prim types included, one is more dramatic than the other, and adds some flare to the ball gown and short skirt versions. Speaking of which, Brooke features three skirt types: full ball gown, a more slim skirt, and a fun short skirt.

You can see all the ads, and more pretty pictures, on my Flickr. You can find the gowns, at the Kouse’s Sanctum main store.

~Shannon~

I am so very happy to finally release the ‘Shannon’ gowns, which are available with either gold, or silver trim.

This style of gown encapsulates much of what I love about gowns…subtle details, less subtle details (haha), vibrant colors, and multiple ways to wear.

Shannon Poster II

Each Shannon gown includes two skirts, a long, evening gown style skirt, and a fun short skirt. If you’re feeling like a little experiment, you and try wearing both at the same time. 🙂

Everyone who purchases a Shannon gown between now and the next release date will have their name entered into a draw. If you buy two gowns, your name will go in three times. There will be two prizes awarded at the next release date. What are the prizes? Two lucky ladies will win a fatpack of any gown style in the store that they choose. 🙂

Kari Poster 1

It just hit me that it’s been entirely too long since I blogged, yet again. Real life has been busy – and isn’t showing much sign of slowing down yet! I thought this morning I’d set aside some time to blog about the current 99L specials, and the new Kari gowns.

It’s Autumn in my part of the world, and getting chilly fast. The trees are bursting with vibrant colour, fallen leaves dance across the ground, and for my family, Christmas planning is happening already. In keeping with the Autumnal mood, the Kari gowns are available in some deep, fall-inspired shades (such as the chocolate, wine, grape, cranberry, and forest) as well as staple colours such as white and black.

You can find the full nine available colours at the Kouse’s Sanctum main store, and preview them on my Flickr.

A Thanksgiving Treat

This past Monday was Thanksgiving, here in Canada. There’s a Thanksgiving treat in the store, right now, at just 99L, which I’ll leave there for the rest of the month.

Mae - Thanksgiving 2012 Edition

There’s also a knee length skirted version of the brand new Kari gowns in Atlantic (blue), for only 99L. You can find both of these goodies at Kouse’s Sanctum, right now, but these prices are limited time only. They’re on the New Release board, just below the new Kari gowns.

~Mae~

So I named this newest gown after a dear friend, Maelenn Catteneo. They’re part redux of a really old gown, called Calliope (if anyone even remembers that one), and part new thing.

I made them for regular avs, and also for the petites avs, as well. There are also modesty options available in store. The regular sizes include the following pieces: system shirt bodice, glitchpants, chest bow, skirt, and sleeves. The Petites include: bodysuit, chest bow, skirt, and sleeves.

Spring Cleaning Sale

So, until the end of May, there’s a gigantic sale on at Kouse’s Sanctum. Over 40 styles of gowns will be retired from the main store on June 1. Until then, you can find them for just 75L each, and a few fatpacks which also have their prices slashed more than 70%.

All of these gowns on sale, are on the second floor of the store. Here’s a SLURL: http://slurl.com/secondlife/SeaBreeze%20Oasis/177/224/12

As a note, please use ‘Buy’ instead of ‘pay’, in order to receive the discount. 🙂

~Raphaela~

Raphaela - Gown - Blush

I’ve finally got to releasing Raphaela, after what seemed like endless tweaking, recoloring, and a few miscellaneous delays. Raphaela is a dream of a gown, bearing ribbons, bows, and roses. The sleeves are optional for wear, consisting of an undershirt layer and prim parts.

Raphaela - Gown - Frost

She’s completed with a choker that reflects the theme of the gown. The bodice laces up on both the front, and the back. You can see all available colors by checking the new main store, my Flickr stream, and soon, on the Marketplace. Speaking of which, many older gowns are now available on the Marketplace, which are being retired from the store. I’ve been spending much of the last week or so working on adding listings to the Marketplace, and now there are already over 900 Kouse’s Sanctum goodies available, including not only gowns, but also jewelry. You can take a look here.
