Day 13 / October 13 of 2019 Combining Inktober and Witchtober Prompts: "Scarecrow" and "Ash" 005 Micron pens on Maruman sketchbook paper Digital colour accent #LolitaFashion #RougeAerieDesigns

A black and white ink illustration on a white field of two figures, with a large, yellow rectangle accent added digitally behind them.

A witch stands over a scarecrow, both wearing lolita fashion-inspired outfits. The witch lights the end of her broomstick's bristles on fire as a threat to the scarecrow, who cowers with its arms over its head. The witch's outfit takes cues from Rococo silhouettes, with wide swathes of fabric on the hips and gathered ruffles on the skirt front, while the scarecrow's outfit is comprised of patched and torn layers.

A close crop of the witch from the first image. She wears a hat with a brim that sweeps up on the sides, revealing a curled, Rococo-inspired hairstyle beneath which trails down her back. She has a very severe expression, and grips her broomstick tightly with one hand. With the other, she points her wand to the bristles to light them on fire.

A close crop of the first image, showing the details of the witch's dress front and the scarecrow's outfit. The scarecrow has bits of straw peeking from its sleeves around its hands, which are in fact gloves. There is a conspicuous patch on its sleeve's elbow, which contrasts sharply with the meticulous ruffles, scallops, and puffs sewn onto the witch's own garments. The Scarecrow is very plain by comparison, but wears a large, straw hat with a bow tied at the back of the brim.

A close crop of the first image, detailing the scarecrow's skirt and apron back. The apron has straps which cross in back, and is secured with a large, tattered bow. The scarecrow's skirts have several patches which overlap, and is crumpled up against the ground where the scarecrow has cowered down.

From the Frills & Fireballs series, it's Daisy: The Ranger! This series was inspired by the idea of a jfashion D&D/fantasy RPG party. Daisy is inspired by all things bright and pastel, with particular nods to decora and brands like Spank! and 6%DokiDoki. #Jfashion #RougeAerieDesigns

A black ink sketch on a white field depicts an archer character in bright, selectively coloured rainbow pastels. The archer's outfit is inspired by Japanese street fashion brands, kawaii and decora trends, including 6%DokiDoki and Spank!

Time for another page from the ABC's of #LolitaFashion colouring book! Today, the letter E is for ... #RougeAerieDesigns

A black and white colouring page of a figure in lolita fashion in front of a large, antique-style button back chair. Beside the figure, text reads: "Ee is for ... Echarpe, Elaborate, Elegant, Ero".

The lolita in the image wears a short, three-tiered skirt with an asymmetrical overskirt which is longer in the back, thigh high harlequin style diamond pattern stockings with lace and ribbon garter tops, platform heels with criss-crossing straps and rose details, a corseted bodice with a semi-sheer, high neck blouse underneath it, and a repeating diamond patterned echarpe on top. The figure winks at the viewer with a pair of hearts floating to one side, and has voluminous, curly hair decorated with roses and ribbons.

On the antique, button-back chair behind the figure is a medium-haired cat in a diamante-studded collar. The cat has its paws on the arm of the chair and is reared back, as if preparing to take a swipe at a rose the figure is waving in one hand.

#RougeAerieDesigns has also dabbled in jewellery making for #LolitaFashion! These chokers were designed by RAD then manufactured in a factory, but came back with significant QC issues. As a result, the entire run was reworked by hand in the RAD HQ and new styles added in the process.

"Dexterous Toxicity" It's so easy to slide from being close and comfortable to a little bit distant, a little bit manipulative, a little bit toxic. ClipStudioPaint, 2024 www.inprnt.com/gallery/roug... www.redbubble.com/shop/ap/1621... studio.society6.com/designs/2841... #RougeAerieDesigns

The artwork is shaded in a style similar to traditional printmaking etchings. Each hand has long, red nails, and a gold-and-red eye in the centre of its palm. The eyes have spiky, thorn-like eyelashes on their eyelids. The roses in the wreath surrounding the hands have matching, gold-and-red eyes peeking from within their petals.

The proposed colourways above did inspire an April Fools prank later in 2016, of "rerelase" colourways in purple and hot pink. These were obviously photo manipulated and not real, and we are very sorry for the people we may have confused that year. #lolitafashion #rougeaeriedesigns

Sydney does not lack for lovely nautical scenery, so the promotional photos for this series were a lot of fun to take. These were staged near the rock pools at Cronulla Beach, which is south of the city proper. Other beaches were scouted, but deemed too busy. #lolitafashion #rougeaeriedesigns

A photograph of two young Asian women wearing the dresses from the parent post. One wears the navy colourway with a long, reddish-brown wig. The other is taller, and wears the black colourway with short, partially bleached hair in a choppy style. Both stand barefoot on a beach, with the visible edges of a rocky shoreline visible behind them. They are exchanging something with one another, hands together and heads close.

The original design was not going to have a screen print at all! It was added during prototyping discussions, as a way of testing the factory's different print and finishing techniques. In the original prototype, the skirt was also tested with an A-line petticoat. #lolitafashion #rougeaeriedesigns

The brief for this design was “sailor, but make it gothic”. Plans changed in development, such that the resulting design is a lot more versatile. It can be dressed up or down, as lolita, casual, or even vintage. Key points included the print and collar details. #lolitafashion #rougeaeriedesigns

Two green dresses still live in the RAD household, including this tea length experiment with custom dyed lace. It used silk velvet in dark chocolate brown for the bodice, and was made with a modified version of the original underbust bodice's pattern. #lolitafashion #rougeaeriedesigns

A collage of three photos of the designer of Rouge Aerie Designs wearing a one of a kind version of the Carouskel print. One shows the outfit in full, while the other two images are a portrait and a close-up of the hem lace. She stands in front of a blank white wall for the photos.

The dress is tea length on the designer (about mid-calf; she is 165cm tall) in the green colourway of the design, with matching green rose lace at the hem. The dress has been coordinated with an ivory blouse, brown lace-up boots, and a split wig in light brown and honey blonde, with a brown and ivory Alice bow headband.

All of the above dresses are now out in the wilds. A few have sold on LaceMarket over the years. Three sold at Frill, another handful sold on Etsy after the fact. There are also numerous dresses and skirts made from the fabric sold on Spoonflower by other sewists. #lolitafashion #rougeaeriedesigns

The Brown and Red colourway of Carouskel is displayed on a dressform in a coordinate with items from Necrosarium, Baby, the Stars Shine Bright, and Dear Celine. The dress itself is trimmed with ivory lace and a bright gold chiffon hem ruffle.

The Purple colourway of Carouskel is displayed in a coordinate with items from Baby, the Stars Shine Bright.

The Rust colourway eventually became the "prototype" fabric for testing different patterns, since it couldn't be used for sale items. It was also included in a series of early promotional photos sent to Frill, to announce RAD's participation in the convention. #lolitafashion #rougeaeriedesigns

A photograph of an underbust lolita fashion dress on an adjustable dressform. The dress is peach-coloured with rust-red stripes and a skeletal carousel motif at the border. The dress is embellished with rose lace at the neckline and hem, with a chiffon ruffle peeking from the lining and two decorative bands of contrasting stripes buttoned onto the waist.

The same bodice is shown as in the second photograph, but with the decorative bands of fabric unbuttoned from the waist portion.

Originally, there were seven colourways for Carouskel, but only five pieces were finished in time for Frill, and six were uploaded to Spoonflower. The dress for the Ivory colourway wasn't finished in time, and the Rust colourway had repeated printing issues. #lolitafashion #rougeaeriedesigns

Let's talk about Carouskel today! This print was a for-fun design in Illustrator (lineart) and Photoshop (repeat and colours). It was finished in 2012, and eventually published to Spoonflower. These five dresses went to the Frill convention in Georgia! #lolitafashion #rougeaeriedesigns

A collage of five lolita dresses, showing front and back views. Each dress is the same underbust cut jumperskirt, with waist ties tied into a large bow in back, and braid bands buttoned to the waist in front. The material used is a skeletal carousel border print motif with striped all-over pattern.

This is the official account for Rouge Aerie Designs. See @rougeaerie.bsky.social for Kate's personal updates. RAD is a small #lolitafashion brand with an emphasis on gothic & fantasy elements. Most pieces are handmade in Australia unless stated otherwise.

A rich blue fantasy ensemble made from chiffon, shantung, and textured upholstery fabric. The dress utilises an A-line lolita fashion silhouette and length, with hankerchief hem chiffon in tiers from the waist, and an asymmetrical, high-low hankerchief overskirt in shantung. The bodice and cropped vest on top are heavily embroidered with gold thread and embellished with dragonscale smocking. The outfit is completed with a belt made of chains of pearls with gold frame embellishments, and blue and white crystals.
