Lady LeClare
Call for PriceThe Lady LeClare is Victorian refinement with a playful Western side. Disembarking from a stagecoach in Dodge City, or attending the premier at the theater in New York, Lady LeClare exudes a sultry sophistication. Her saloon-inspired dress retains its form-fitting top, but the skirt has been lengthened for less bawdy adventures, while the velvet jacket with long, lace-cuffed sleeves provides an element of grace. With all that packaged together, it’s no wonder that Lady LeClare gets attention no matter where she finds herself.

Carmella
Call for PriceFar from her home in Sicily, Carmella emigrated to the U.S. looking for a better life, and maybe a little fame and fortune, too, if God allows. She found her calling under the big top and the saloon stage, performing for crowds nightly as a lion tamer, a magician’s assistant, and a singer.
Her signature one-piece dress is a playful mix of Wild West with flocked taffeta and chainette fringe, and Italian whimsy, thanks to its layered satin skirt. Carmella may be far from her old home, but she’s turning plenty of heads in her new one.

Carmelita
Call for PriceCarmella’s little sister, affectionately known as “Carmelita,” is spunky and fun. Like her older sister but a bit more carefree, she prefers the more dangerous circus stunts—tightrope walking and bareback riding are her gifts.
Her outfit is made to match her older sister’s, with the same taffeta and fringe, but she has traded the long satin skirt for something a bit shorter. Little sister will always push the boundaries. What fun are rules if you can’t bend a few?
