Elate!
By Grazia Horwitz | July 2, 2008
In a group that I belong to, one of the members sent out the cutest dress to the others. It was an “omg why have I never heard of you before” moment when just now I opened the box. A quick Google resulted in a few mentions and a nice post by Whimsy Winx over at Virtually Dressed a few weeks ago, but honestly… a fresh designer creating cute things like this… she should be ALL over the feed.
It is my pleasure to (re-) introduce you to Elate, designed by Kellie Iwish. After trying on the first dress, the super feminine and wonderfully flouncy Annalisa night dress (2nd left) I rushed over to her shop and uhm… basically bought a bit of everything. After all, blogging has always been my excuse for retail therapy, and one thing was sure right from the start… this is what I call blogworthy. So from left to right: Raeva Fire… I should have put that one later in the photo.. because it is the only one I found a little flaw in… on the arms there are 2 tiny white dots, possibly to indicate the waist, as it is spot on. Nothing that the eraser tool and a new upload cannot fix in a mater of minutes though. Second, mentioned already, the Annalisa dress. Very lovely surprise to find that in your inventory on a cloudy Wednesday afternoon. In the middle, Phoebe and that is lovely feathers on your pixelperfect body. The primwork on this one is just so pretty too. Felicity, dress number 4, here in cobalt, is a sassy little strapless dress with a multi layered skirt that is really wonderfully textured. Felicity is available in quite some colours. And last but not least, Mae, the cutest lace tube dress. I often have issues with this type of skirt prim, but on this dress it just works perfect. I forgot to put on the matching grey stockings for this photo… but hey… it’s been hot here today, so who cares about tights.

I headed over to Elate! to buy the Annalise dress as soon as I saw it here. It is absolutely gorgeous, sexy, and wonderfully feminine. I love it, and plan to head back soon. It’s definitely landmarked. Thanks for introduction to the great little shop.
