The Romance of KMKDesigns

With the distinguished wedding dresses, gowns, dresses, blouses, and other attire inspired by Steampunk, Neo-Victorian, Lolita and Gothic styles in their collection, the mother and daughter collaboration of Sheridyn McClain and Kaitlyn McClain, have ensured their deserved reputation of over 35 years of savoir-faire designing and fabricating quality alternative wear.

Evidence of their superb craftmanship can be found in the Victorian Bustle Dress in Ivory and Gold Silk (pictured at top of article).

Picture you on your wedding day stepping down the aisle in this exquisite three-piece jewel of elegant ivory silk dupioni.

For the reception after the wedding, for a Sunday stroll, or for an elegant party, this Steampunk Bustle Dress Red Taffeta and Black Lace, pictured above, is sure to turn heads, both in adoration and envy, with its fully boned corset decorated with quality Venice lace.

The Vampire Inspired Wedding Dress in Black Cotton (pictured at right), part of the KMK Elegant Blood Collection, is just perfect for a night on the town for dinner, the theatre, and then at a cabaret sipping …well …’absinthe’.

How alluring would this floor-length, Victorian-style bustle Backless Gown in Gunmetal Grey Light Taffeta (pictured above right) be to the Gentlemen surrounding you at a ball or during an intermission at the theatre?

Or perhaps …a romantic candle-lit evening with that certain special someone.

Dark, mysterious, with the bearing of a decisive Lady, this fine Victorian Blue Taffeta and Black Lace Outfit (pictured at right) still hints subtly at the underlying feminine with full sleeves at the shoulder and black lace on the square-cut neckline, sleeve cuffs, and on the single deep flounce of the skirt bottom.

Hand-made by KMKDesigns, as is all their distinct collection, this outfit is equally at home at a formal dinner, in a stately ballroom, or sipping liqueur with friends in the drawingroom.

KMKDesigns creates blouses and skirts, such as the three blouses pictured above – the Victorian High Neck Collar Blouse, the Red Taffeta Victorian Blouse, and the fine Victorian Sheer Chiffon Sleeveless Blouse.

The Steampunk Red Jumper on the left, is fabricated from a deep red taffeta sweetly adorned with a black taffeta ruffle along the bottom. Perfect for a stroll in the park or an evening out dancing.

And to keep warm on those slow romantic walks, just wrap yourself in this red micro-velvet fairy-tale Red Riding Hood Cape or be cozy and snuggly in this KMKDesigns Winter Wonderland Coat made from a soft to the touch faux fur.
