The Rosalind Ballerina Dress

Annouck smooths down her frivolous skirts, smiling at the orange rays of sun. The new boheme has emerged, a new soul has stepped out gingerly onto freshly cut grass. Alas, it is the season of carefree tromping  and frolic in fresh air. We welcome it with the new Annouck Halter Dress, in a sculpted tiered skirt. The easiness of a mailot lies underneath, spun in butterfly fabric, sheer and luxurious. Embellishments of a bronze ring, tied around her neck, and a low cut draping back, this dress  defines the eclectic, colorful, ironic persona in all of us. Summer luxe is but a simple twirl of a skirt.

Only at the Casa del Shai.

Depicted with a shield and a spear oftentimes, Athena exudes a powerful softness in her commanding ways. Win some hearts in this white dress and conquer SL’s spartan scene.

The Medusa Maxi Dress
Medusa, an extremely beautiful mortal woman, deemed to have many lovers, was scorned by Athena in the Greek scriptures. Her punishment for the crime of having been disgraced at Athena’s temple turned her hair into snakes. Athena cursed her gaze, as any onlooker would instantly turn into stone. The Medusa Maxi Dress wraps you in snakeskin and sheer silk as you turn many men into stone.

…There was magic abroad in the air.
There were angels dining at the Ritz,
And a nightingale sang…

Welcome the new year with a toast to lounge singer 40s glamour. Presenting this year’s first releases for the real song birds of the night.

The Baroque Gown
The Baroque Gown is inspired by the period of decadence and grandeur. The swirls and folds of the goddess silhouette, highlighted with coque feathers evoke a feeling of exuberance. Dipped in turquoise green, this gown fits well into classical ballroom parties you graced as the countess.

The Rococo Gown
Ornate in gold and blue, the Rococo Gown is a magnificent piece of emphatic yet restrained styling. With a simple low cutout on the front, and a long train of gold filigree skirt, this is a light hearted modern take on the Versailles‘ pompous ballgowns. Also trimmed with coque feathers on the hem.

The Coquette Dress
Elegant yet innocent, a little avante garde with peekaboo coque feathers beneath the hem. The Coquette Dress is inspired by the classic 40′s lounge dresses. Its not just the frou frou rose colour that endears her to her amorous suitors, its the way satin smoothes over her long skirt. A perfect party dress to start the year with flirtatious laughter and sweet affections.

It was such a romantic affair.
And as we kissed and said goodnight,
A nightingale sang at the Casa..

As we round off the wonderful year, Casa del Shai ends it with a bang.
