Miss Amanda says "Anywhere But Here"

"Anywhere but here... is painted on a building somewhere in
Houston--if any of you can identify where exactly it is (part of the fun
is discovering the artwork), I'd love to find out!" Quote Miss Amanda Lee

Thanks Miss Matilda! Cutting out the pattern for the dress took quite a bit of time but was worth it. I'm very pleased with the way she turned out as well!

Boudoir Kitten

I should like to announce exciting new additions to the Able Grable team,
Candee Photography & Miss Kitten Von Mew.
They join us as the UK House Model and House photographer.

Welcome aboard ladies, you are joining the already established USA team, House Model
...Miss Amanda Lee, House Photographer Doug Monce & House Muse Syd Divine. Not forgetting our UK House Muse Fleur De Guerre!

The excitement is killing me!

Kitten and her Debut frock, here!

Mysti, Candee and Sakura.....

I've been a longtime fan of Candee photography, she also happens to be the very first
Able Grable customer! I'm not sure if she knows that, but she was!

I didn't know she was going to use her Miss Lola Burns in her shoot for my favourite UK hat
designer, Sakura Designs, so I am completely bowled over.

The Icing on the cake, is of course Mysti Vine.

Thank you ladies, this is more than Deco Divine! xxx

Miss Dee La Beau Frock!

The latest frock and a new cover gal!

Dee La Beau asked Able Grable to make a copy of a vintage frock she was dying to own.
Here is our version.

We try hard to please and everyone who collaborated in the project agreed that this dress simply must be made for everyone to dream about owning! Dee kindly agreed to let Able Grable offer
her design idea to you all. She's a dream.

Photography was by Nicole at THE HOURGLASS Dee tells me there is nothing quite like becoming an Hourglass Girl. I have admired Nicole for a very long time and am delighted to have her featured on Able Grable with her delicious work!
