April 28, 2010 New Matte PVC looks by Aesthetic Alchemy
We can now make most of our designs in matte black PVC. Its a thicker fabric than our usual 4-way stretch black (shiny) but with the same horizontal and vertical stretch for comfort and a skin tight look. It looks a little like unpolished latex. Shown are our Full length PVC leggings($56) with a short PVC tie ($27.50 separately or $25 as an add on to the shrug), our Angled Corset Belt (Version 2) ($70 with PVC strap available for $5 more, email for details or add a comment to your order), with our new Corporate pointed shoulder shrug and matching shirt collar. Also shown is our new Ava dress ($120) with a cowl neck and assymetrical hem with the same version 2 Angled Corset. The last look is our basic PVC underwear ($11.50) with basic PVC stockings ($40) and our Basic PVC hood ($40).
Model is Ariel
