Blade Runner #4 and #5 for SALE!

Happy Friday everyone! I'm glad it's Friday, but where did the week go? 
I'm happy to present not only BR#4 but BR#5, the last 2 OOAK outfits in my Blade Runner collection: Clothing for the Ultimate Synthetic Humans- Replicants.  I do hope to do another mini collection with more color in the near future as this collection was so much fun to create!


BR#4 is a beige corset dress that fully laces up the backside with gold eyelets. Also included is a matching sleeve with attached necklace and strapless cage dress hand stitched from gold ribbon and nude mesh. This outfit fits both FR and FR2 with 2 hook and eyes closures in the back. I took my inspiration from a pretty Valentino cage dress. Silver glitter platform shoes are included. Price is $89 with Worldwide Insured shipping  included.




















BR#5 includes gold sequin hot shorts with snap closure, reversible nude lace and black mesh sleeveless shirt, and a bolero shrug that can be worn 2 ways. The bolero has a touch of vintage gold ribbon hand sewn at the collar and it was inspired by Mary Katrantzou, an up and coming Greek fashion designer. This outfit fits ONLY FR. Gold platform shoes are included. Price is $59 with Worldwide Insured shipping  included.

Hello everyone!
I'm very happy to finally present Blade Runner OOAK #3 modeled on both FR2 and FR.  The ensemble consists of 5 pieces: Beige silk cape with cream floral lace lining,  cream silk underbust dress/ high waisted skirt, gold cage peplum belt, ultra suede and gold sequin ribbon belt, and sheer blouse with ultra suede bust panel and cap sleeves.


The pieces are versatile and can work with existing doll clothing for a great mix and match wardrobe.  The dress closes with 3 hook and eye closures.  The cape has arm openings in the front and has one snap closure at the neck.  Gold peplum is also removable with one metal snap in the back and has been completely hand stitched.  The blouse has one hook and eye in the lower back and one clear snap to fit on the slimmer FR2 body. The blouse is very delicate and has also been completely hand stitched.

My inspiration is noted in the sheer panels in the blouse, touch of gold sequins, gold ribbon, and softness of the cream ultra suede.  Neutral and soft, yet very bold...... inspired by the Replicant robots in Blade Runner-- the ultimate synthetic humans.


This outfit is a OOAK MIO Designs creation and is available for $79.00, with $4 Worldwide shipping. Dolls and shoes are not included.   Please email me at miodesigns77@gmail.com if interested and thank you!













UPDATE: SOLD! Thank you very much!

Hey everyone! Happy Friday :)
I have a sneak photo of the outfit coming up modeled on my FR2 doll that resembles Daryl Hannah's character Pris in Blade Runner.  I'm also including pictures of Rachael and Zhora, played by Sean Young and Joanna Cassidy and a couple shots of the first 2 outfits.

You can see Zhora's inspiration with the gold sequins in the first Blade Runner outfit on my Veronique doll with restyled hair to resemble Rachael.
