The Poppin' It Top is a revamped version of the first top I ever made (the Popinjay Press Stud Top), like it's predecessor it is simple and understated from the front but clothes with an asymmetrical line of press-studs down the back. Colours can be bought separately for 75L each or all 8 for 500L.
The Rouched Bustier is very feminine and is perfect for being worn under a jacket, over a t-shirt or just on it's own for shoulder-baring goodness. Colours can be bought separately for 75L each or all 8 for 500L.

Pricing and Selling
I spend a lot of time thinking about the price of my items. I like to hope my prices are reasonable and I've only been told once that my prices are too high (all my other friends yell at me when I talk about dropping them down). I have however been told that my takings aren't what they should be so... what am I doing wrong? Is it the pricing or something else in style or quality? I know that I'm still a Photoshop noob but I am trying to improve my quality with every release but I guess for now I will continue to provide the best quality items that I can. But to the shoppers of SL, what would you like to have me do to make my product more buyable for you?

Lordy! I'd say your prices are too low! You're the super-darling of the bloggersphere, and you make smart, sassy clothing that have real attitute and spunk. I've bought them all... and would have paid more.
Your quality is wonderful, and your use of shading is wonderfully vivid. And if you're a noob at Photoshop, then I can only do a mental jig to think what you'll come up with over the next few months and years. Fear not, Brisbane Lady, you rock!!
I think many things, besides having hot creamy (AND CHUNKY) sex with you. But mmmh, I do not think your prices are too high. People suck and will always whine no matter what you do, and everyone has a different view/opinion anyways and there is nothing we can do about it. I would say you CRAZILY improved, lightning fast too (like you woke up one day and the Photoshop Gods threw a bucket of sudden uber-knowledge in your face O.o;), and you became a top notch designer in a few weeks. I do not see ANYTHING needing improvement, from seams to texturing to ads to colors, styles... and prices. And plus you take your precious time to give us everything on every possible layers....... What else can they/we ask for?! I ASK YOU?! So please keep your chin up, your brain calm and your prices where they are.
Also wanted to say thanks for wearing my skirt in your ad! I was pretty proud of it but literally NOONE blogged it haha XD So me too I was wondering what was wrong. Your ad is delicious and everything looks so crispy, so yummy on you that I almost feel the hate from jealousy XD haha!. <3
Rock on koko.
I love your stuff and I think your prices are very reasonable.
Maybe this is my own bias, but I prefer not to wear system skirts. I keep trying, buying new outfits with system skirts - especially yours because the ads are so well done - but then I put them on and I never wear them. I just can't stand the system skirt bubble!
I adore your pencil skirts and they look fabulous in the ads, but the fact that they're system is probably what keeps me from buying them.
I think your prices are good. I think that some designers that design for a more mature audience maybe don't get noticed as much. Which is a shame because you make such beautiful clothes and they prove that you can look feminine and sexy without being slutty. (also please keep doing good systems skirts I looooove them so much more than prim skirts haha more of that personal prefernce thing)
Don't lower prices! IMHO the only reason you are a demi god in every way but your wallet is purely because not everyone has taste. Pure and simple. A quick glance at SL Fashion Police tells me that there are way too many 'women' in SL who judge style by the last porn flick they caught their boyfriend watching.
I think Hethr's got it. Too many think 'slutty' when dressing themselves and your designs are far removed from 'ho-wear'. And now back to stalking you from your flickr stream...
I really love your clothes, but maybe think about when you release new stuff. Some of us (ok, me) don't have will power, so by Tuesday night all my $tipend is gone and then you go and release something fantastic on Thursday :( and by Tuesday again, I've forgotten and yes, I am a total airhead. Really, keep making such great stuff, I will keep buying. :)
Dakota your prices are - I think - perfectly reasonable. I reckon the problem is that a lot of people in SL simply don't have enough taste to buy your gorgeous stuff! Something that has amazed me so much in SL is that given the opportunity to be ANYTHING they want in SL, most women I see go for ridiculous pornstar avatars with huge gravity defying boobs and ass, silly frou-frou hair and the miniest of miniskirts and skankiest of breast baring tops, and craziest, highest, blingiest shoes that they can find. What is with that? I have strangely enough never had the desire to be a porn star in RL or SL, but everywhere I go, I see way too much flesh on display. I hope it's a fad! As my husband says - Internet + Anonimity = Hedonism, and in SL's case, this is true! :)
Leave your prices as they are, people will figure out how great your stuff is eventually!
I think your prices are just fine - I've bought a few outfits from you recently and the style, quality, colour and shading are all absolutely superb. You're certainly one of my favourite designers! I really appreciate the multi-layer options, too.
I agree with what others have said in the above comments; that in general many SL women will go for the shorter skirt/more revealing garment, and can't appreciate the sexy pin-up-girl nature of your clothes. But I'm also sure that as you release more items, your publicity will grow and you'll get the customers and # of purchases that you deserve. :)
I love that you use system skirts. Frankly that, and all the layers, are why Savvy? is so special to me. Your designs are classy and mayhaps not everyone in SL wants to look like that? I would even go so far as to say there are many more people who actually try their hardest *not* to look classy lol.
Your prices are more than fair. Your work is literally flawless from every angle and the colors are versatile and great for layering. I dunno why it isn't catching on like it should be but again, you cater to a specific type of client.
I have made no secret that I am a huge fan and will continue to be. I hope you stay inspired.
Do you sell the wonderful long skirt in the ad with the new shirts? I want it but can't find it at the store.
Jenny: The skirt is from Last Call. :)
Hiya, sorry to bother you but I'd love that purple skirt to go with my new top. Where can I find it?
