ready to wear set for men

Anyone who took part in the MHO hunt will have picked up our military sweater in army green.  We have now released the sweaters for sale in 3 colours - army green, airforce blue and marine blue - each sweater sports sculpted cuffs and waist and vneck perfect for wearing with our performance shirts. 

We've put together a set for the guys consisting of the marine blue sweater , a special indigo version of our sunday jeans and the light blue stripe shirt from our performance set. An added extra is the sweater with untucked shirt on the jacket layer.

simply sassy - sf design one shoulder party dress.

This sassy little number is todays release - a customer request for a one sleeved party dress led me to contemplating the restrictions sl imposes on designers. 

Many of you may not realise that we only have one arm to work on with textures - the same texture goes on both arms. (Ive had to explain this on numerous occasions to people who cant understand why i cant put a logo on one sleeve for them.)  The obvious way round it is to use prims - but most designers use a texture below the prims to hide any gaps when certain poses expose them.  Unable to do this Ive worked with both a shoulder prim and an arm prim to try and combat this.

The dress is a tight mini with flexi and sculpted sleeve on the right arm. It comes with both system skirt option or the jacket and prim option for a tighter look.

The One Shoulder Party Dress is available in black, purple, blue or red.

My model Melinda has teamed it with these gorgeous Bax Coen boots for a perfect look - and if youre put off buying boots like this because of the worry of fitting dont!  They have a great inbuilt auto fit script plus there is someone on hand at the store to fit them for you - great service!

sf design anniverary tuxedo and ballgown

You can almost hear the rustle of silk as you take to the ballroom floor in this elegant gown. Made to flow beautifully when you dance, the anniversary gown has been created especially to commemorate our 5 years anniversary.

It features a sculpted bodice - one with and one without resizer ( the one with resizer may appear no mod because of the script but is.) The detail of this gown is all in the back with its sculpted lace and diamonds above the tightly laced brocade bodice. The skirt is full with a ruffle of silk and lace. The gown comes with matching sculpted shoes and is available in berry , copper or sage.

Complimenting the ballgown is the sf design tuxedo - This distinguished and elegant tuxedo features a flexi jacket with silk brocade lapels and cuffs. The jacket also features prim sleeves and shoulderpads. The tuxedo pants have sculpted pant legs for a better fit over your shoes and comes with or without vest tips. The silk buttoned vest is on shirt layer with or without sleeve fillers. The crisp white dress shirt sports a sculpted wing collar and sculpted scrunch tie. Finally , as requested by my male customers  matching sculpted dress shoes with an inlay brocade.

sf design flora tux in white

In response to customer request I have released the white version of the flora tux .

It comes either with a blue vest and tie or pink vest and tie and is available in both ladies and gentlemen's fit.

The vest and tie sets are available separately also.

As always a mod/copy version is available on request :) 

sf design carmella gown.

Ive always been a fan of those wonderful hollywood evening gowns from the 40s when women were pleasantly raphaelite in shape and gowns accentuated the curves. I wanted to create such a gown and what better fabric than satin to show the shadow of the body beneath in a most seductive way. To bring the gown up to date i decided to use the asymmetrical bodice which seems to be popular at the moment and leave the gown open down one side fastened by clasps.

The optional bow is colour change scripted , matching shoes are included, plus an underpant layer which allows the outfit to be worn as a swimsuit.

The gown is mod/trans (but mod/copy is available on request) and is available in 5 different colours - blue, purple, red, ivory and black

SF Design morning suits - wedding day

4 years ago i was asked by a dear friend of mine to make him a traditional english morning suit for his sl wedding - its still a very popular part of our formal range but i thought as a celebration of its 4 years and indeed my friends 4 year wedding anniversary i would release some new morning suits. Ive updated the pants and included both a plain pair and a pair with the lower vest on for a more natural look. The coat is the new Ascot coat sporting the familar oxford style coat tail on the skirt layer. The waistcoats /vests are detailed in an embroidered silk in a choice of 5 stunning colours and come on both jacket and shirt layers as well as a shirt version with sleeve filler. The shirt has a matching silk ascot tie/cravat textured on to it and there is also a sculpted part that can be worn to enhance it. As always with the sf design morning suit a prim pocket hanky is provided to match.

The vests shirts and ties can be bought as separates in the 5 colours and also as a fatpack.
These are currently at our High Society Stores and in our Look book if you already have the Look Book it will be automatically updated.

Free during august @ sf design

Come and get your free gift from SF Design because it wont be free when August is over! The performance hat matches the new SF Design performance suits , it is texture change so a click can change the hat to match your suit with 8 different textures. The hat is cleverly sculpted by Instorm and textured by sf design. The SF Design hat hair that comes with the hat is not built to wear on its own but will fit with most hats as well as the performance hat. For that reason the hat and hair are separate which also means you can wear the hat at the angle you wish or without the hair. The hair is included in 3 sizes and 4 colours. Although the hat will appear no mod because of the script its fully resizeable via menu or in edit.

versatile shirt and tie sets , texture change tie sets from SF Design

SF Design performance shirt and tie sets are now  available as separates in red, black, teal, blue, purple and white with light blue stripe. These shirts are created to be a versatile addition to your sl wardrobe and a useful addon to your performance suit or indeed any suit.

Each shirt is on all layers - undershirt layer is useful for wearing under 3 piece suits, shirt layer for wearing under jackets and over tatts and the jacket layer so that you can wear the shirt untucked.

There are 4 versions of the shirt - open neck (for wearing with the prim open collar), buttoned (useful for wearing with other flexi ties or bowties), buttoned with tie textured on the shirt,  and a shirt to wear with the prim collar and tie .

The underpants layer is the lower part of the shirt so it can be worn with low rise pants.

There are 4 ties included - collar and flexi tie, (useful for open jacket suits) loose tied flexi tie and undone flexi tie (both can be worn with the open collar) and lastly a tie textured on a shirt - again useful for wearing under 3 piece suits or closed jackets.

The wrist cuffs include orginal cufflinks by Accacia Brissot , there is also included 3/4 folded back cuffs you will need to go into appearance and shorten your sleeves on the shirt to wear these (otherwise i would have had to include another 12 shirts lol)  Find them in the store where u see the 'new' sign

(hair and hats from Kmadd, skin from Belleza, shape from Noon)

SF Design flexi tie set - texture change (9 colours to choose from)

These sets are created to give you optimal mix and match ability with your shirts and suits.

Included is a flexi tie to go with most buttoned shirts, a flexi tie with collar in black or white - perfect for adding to your performance suit or hamilton tux wear, a loosely tied tie and an untied tie which will fit with most open prim collars.

All the ties are texture change scripted just touch to get your drop down menu.

The ties with collars are also scripted for resize although all the ties are modifiable through edit ( they appear not in inventory because of the no mod script)

caribbean crochet

My sister is a good crochet maker - i never got past the chain stitch stage - but here in sl luckily i can use a graphics program to create my crochet designs along with some rl photos i took of a friends crochet. SF Design Caribbean Crochet is this weeks release for the ladies  - the little mini dress comes in two versions - 'cheeky' and 'discrete'. Each dress consists of jacket and pants with flexi prim addition - but those who want to be a little more risque it is possible to wear the dress as just a jacket version.  The outfit includes a crochet halter neck bikini with prim beads for the neck , chest and hips. The outfit is totally tintable so i have released it both as a mod/copy version and mod/trans at SF Design mainstores - Penryn and Lotus - now

model - Melinda Jensen

The Ascot collection @ sf design

The wonderful fashions at Royal Ascot inspired me to make the new items at sf design - i was hoping to release them for Ladies Day - only a week late lol


The ladies outfits are available as separates or as sets,
The sets come in fuschia or blue and include a semi transparent open blouse with sculpted collar and flexi cuffs, floral dress with cinch belt texture, tintable panties, matching shoes, hat and purse that are scripted for menu driven colour change with 18 colours to choose from ( the items are modifable and cant be tinted through edit too) the shoes also come with sound option.

The blouses are available separately and if youre not in to formal look great over bikinis or shorts.

The dresses are available separately in blue, red, orange, fuschia, lavender or grey

The purse , shoes and hat come in a set on their own too ideal for matching dresses for a variety of occasions.

For the gents a classic english morning suit - although sf design already has featured mornings suits in our formal range ive updated the jacket for a better fit and teamed it with new pants , the set comes with both blue and grey accessories - vest, shirt with tie, prim tie addon, hankie, and sculpted shirt cuffs. The set is accompanied with a top hat. I presumed when I started this outfit I would be including an ascot style cravat, however i was surprised to find a neatly knotted regular tie was the order of the day in the royal enclosure- so that is what youve got!
