I especially drool over the black sleeveless Ghawazee coat & silver pantaloon outfit Tristen is wearing on the opening slide show. I also love her scoop neck vests. A couple of weeks ago I noticed Tristen was advertising for someone to drill coins for her. I wanted to write telling her, mail them to me in Kansas and I'll drill them for you with my little drill (I did it for my own coin belt) and I'll take it out in trade! LOL
Who has Tristen's designs and are they as mouth watering in real life as the pictures?

Re: Velvet Peacock Makes Me Drool!
Thu, March 13, 2008 - 6:15 PMI have ghawazee coat with sleeves...it's amazing. The prettiest thing in my closet (and I am a crazy raven). I can't recommend it highly enough. There are some photos in my profile. It's a bit snug so I'm wearing it corseted right now....
One tip I wish I would have had when ordering...when you do your measurements, make sure to give her the largest part of your ribs...not just the rib measurement under your chest. There is no stretch whatsoever.

Thu, March 13, 2008 - 7:21 PMI don't have any of her items but they are to drool over.
I did see the coin drilling ad. and I would have like to go over to Hawaii and did that
and I probably would have stayed there too

Re: Velvet Peacock Makes Me Drool!
Fri, March 14, 2008 - 5:56 AMI drool constantly over her stuff.
And kick myself every time I go to the website - 'cause about a year ago, she had a sleeved ghawazee coat on her clearance page, in colors I liked, with my measurements. I couldn't make up my mind...and by the time I did ((several months later)), it was gone.
No more - if one becomes available again - it's mine!! I'll frame it for a wall hanging if I have to, but it's mine......

Re: Velvet Peacock Makes Me Drool!
Mon, March 24, 2008 - 12:28 PMI have several of her items ... coin bra, and matching belt, choli tops, vest, gypsy skirt, ghawazee coat, velvet skirt, velvet dress... and she even made my wedding dress!!! I can't recommend her work more ... everything is beautiful, well made and has proved very wearable.
Tristen is very approachable and helpful. She helped to select colors and gave great advice (and fixed it all) when the measurements weren't quite right. The ghawazee coat is probably my favourite piece, it always gets drooly comments.
Go for it!!! -

Mon, March 24, 2008 - 12:55 PMNot sure if this is the best way to link photos but thought you might like to see some Velvet Peacock in action:
I'm the one in the red and black gypsy skirt

This is the gorgeous coin bra

And here's the wedding dress (corset was added)

All my pictures with the ghawazee coat are too big to post but I'll see if I can figure out something. -

Re: Velvet Peacock Makes Me Drool!
Sat, April 5, 2008 - 6:56 AMI wore a black ghawazee vest and green off the shoulder dress for my wedding in Scotland. I have it hanging up so I can see it everyday. It's sort of become part of our home decor now. If you want to see it I have photos in my profile. I love her stuff sooo much.
