Moresca medieval fantasy bodiceRen-faire garb that boldly dives into experimental costuming. All the traditionals, jacked up with imaginative twists: jacquard gowns with oversized pointed sleeves, wedding dresses, distressed skirts, voluminous petticoats, quilted doublets, bodices with detachable frilly peplums and matching armband cascades, hooded cloaks edged with shimmer trim and tassels, maximum-contrast breeches, bellydance belts and short little dancing tops, bead-fringed veils, big poofy bags, brocade horns, lots of great departures from the usual. Custom welcome. Thanks, Sara!

BunnySlippers.com black cat slippersJust what the name says, and beyond: not only does this shop carry the pink-eared classics in sizes for the whole family, but they get utterly berzerk with plush footwear. Pink flamingos, hippos, penguins, sock monkeys, ever more chipper creations parade down the page, and they haven’t forgotten giant bear feet, either. Microwaveable designs provide extra toastiness. Thanks, Sara!
