Joey is a native New Yorker who has passed by my boutique many times over the years. She finally crossed the threshold to pop her latex cherry and now she’s hooked! Her first garment was the Gwendolyn Dress, quickly followed by Leggings and a Halter Top, with plans for more soon! I love how punky the latex looks with her tough boots and vintage Double Down Saloon tee!
Delphine Rocks a Latex Waist Cincher
Delphine had been eyeing this red leopard latex waist cincher for some time before she took the plunge. It was haunting her dreams! I think it works perfectly with her other printed garments—nothing matches, everything goes!
Hellooo Nurse!

Revisiting de Sade —in Latex!
My chief executioner Persephone’s de Sade outfit is one of our finest custom couture latex creations so far. She writes:
I’ve always dreamed of owning an 18th century Rococo menswear suit. Never did I imagine it could be made out of latex! The Baroness sourced this exquisite silver blue damask material specially for this project. Most people do not realize it is latex. Even when The Baroness gave a lecture on the history of latex and fashion at The National Arts Club (which I was lucky enough to model for), people in the audience did not believe the outfit was rubber until they touched it.
continued below….
As a devoted student of history, I am pleased to say each piece has been accurately patterned, with astonishing attention to detail. I am given to understand several historical texts were consulted during the painstaking construction. There is nothing in this world quite like an opulent frock coat and the pleats on this jacket are perfectly done. I love the back lacing on the waistcoat, and the sleeves on the ivory undershirt are a yard each of latex! Even the breeches have four buttons at the outside of each knee. All the embroidered lace and trimmings, and yes, especially the preponderance of accent buttons merely for show, make this suit an achievement in historical reproduction. The fact that it is latex takes it to the next level.
In order to do proper justice to such work, I made it my mission to find period appropriate accessories to complete the ensemble. My shoes and clocked silk stockings are from American Duchess, which exclusively manufactures period reproduction footwear. As to the wig,I am proud to say I styled it myself!This outfit is quite literally a dream come true and I am beyond grateful to The Baroness for bringing it to life. It is my immense honor and privilege to wear it.

‘Vintage’ Medical Latex Designs for Mistrix Sade & slave specimen
When I was approached by Mistrix Sade’s slave Specimen to create a bizarre medical design I knew exactly what I wanted to do. Somehow vintage Medical outfits look more menacing in transparent latex!! It just adds to the overall scare factor. We also made specimen’s ensemble (except for the hood).

Mistress Scarlett, Rocking it in Purple!
Miss Scarlett is rocking it in purple! She’s wearing a Baroness latex Short Tight Skirt with our Marilyn Monroe top. Worn together it looks like a dress but she can pair both top and bottom with others for a completely different look!
The Texas Latex Party!
The Texas Latex Party (TLP) is one of my favorite American dress events. Each year we create custom outfits for attendees, many of whom have won awards for best dressed latex female, male, or couple. While designers are exempt from these titles, this year I felt it was my turn. So I devised a plan.
Thursday night I couldn’t resist the play on words “Big Top” (Dominatrix/circus tent), so basic black with ponies was the solution. The next day, for my latex lecture, I introduced color with some tastefully placed polka dots.
For Friday night’s party we started to roll out the color: pink and blue with contrasting polka dots and stripes. Hooped and horsehair skirts provided dimensions and movement not usually associated with latex. And we topped it off with tiny clown hats and makeup. Such fun outfits to wear and dance in!
The Carnival theme thrilled me! I love color and costumes! My brain danced with visions and kaleidoscopes of colours! For maximum impact, I contacted long-time client Don and his lady friend Cheyanne to join me and my chief executioner, Persephone in my plan.
For Saturday’s’ carnival games we united with a color scheme of pearl sheen green and purple (Don just happened to already have the perfect outfit). Nothing custom here—all off-the-rack designs here with a variety of added details.
Saturday night we entered the ballroom in our rainbow of latex colours, feathers and lace. We were a beacon in a sea of black and red! The theme was inspired by my custom design for Cheyanne, with both of us as “Showgirls”, and Don and Persephone as our complementary escorts (We made Dons’ jacket but can’t take credit for either his pants or latex mask).
When the awards were announced did win— in a brand new category: Best Latex Group!
Fetish Fair Flea Market Beauty
It was a delight to see this return customer. She bought our Myrna Loy Gown at last year’s Fetish Flea, and wore it to show off her stunning curves! Once we had her professionally shined she was more than willing to pose for the admiring crowd!
This year she added our Femme Fatale Dress to her wardrobe, and paired it with matching Mitts.
Peer Pressure at the Fetish Flea Market
When this couple arrived at the Fetish Fair Flea Market, he had no idea he’d also be dressing in latex!
His partner has gone all out with a ruby Bodice Corset, matching Latex Leggings and Opera Mitts. Once he saw her fully dressed and shined, he had no choice but to comply!
He’s wearing The Baroness’ Zip Front Sleeveless Tee Shirt, our most popular men’s item.
Fiancé of Fetish Retinue Attendee is stunning in Her First Latex Outfit
I was very pleased when an attendee of my Fetish Retinue (at the time, the longest-running monthly fetish party in NYC) brought his new financé (and latex virgin) to us at the Fetish Fair Flea Market for her first latex ensemble.
Unable to decide between our Marilyn Monroe top in sapphire blue or black, they opted for both, which she wore with our Knee-Length Skirt.
Their original plan was to head straight up to their room, but she received so many compliments, they ended up holding court in the hotel bar instead.
