Far 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.
Carmella’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?
Martha “Calamity” Jane Canary was America’s greatest frontierswoman. A no-nonsense professional scout and sharpshooter, she achieved fame as part of her friend Wild Bill Hickok’s traveling Wild West Show. The country’s first female performance superstar, she took the world by storm by combining the fashion of a true Wild West hero with feminine flair. Fitted jacket features cavalry cuffs and extra long fringe epaulets accented with hair pipes, buffalo-head buttons and pony beads. Skirt offers multiple layers of flattering fringe panels. The bodice features a sweetheart bust line lined with decorative bands and leather lacing, which show off this form-fitting, faux suede corset.
She’ll match the wits of any man, no matter what he might say, then out work that sorry cuss in the kitchen, corral, or bailing hay! Boned eyelet corset features a self ruffle across the top and piping across the bottom with small white eyelet button down the center front. The faux suede chaps have contrasting suede cloth trimmed with gold metal stars, conchos, leather laces and suede fringe.
Straight out of the Old West comes Calamity Jane, with pistols firin’ in her jacket/skirt combo in faux suede. Fitted jacket features cavalry cuffs and extra long fringe epaulets accented with hair pipes, buffalo-head buttons and pony beads. Skirt offers multiple layers of flattering fringe panels. She adds class to any western, frontier or Indian group setting.
