We are back! And with collection "5", Eclectic Cut brings you 5 unique dresses from Singapore. Handpicked and hand-carried back to KL for you, despite the crazy exchange rate (*chokes*). All items are 1 piece only so email me fast if you want yours! Reservations only allowed for 48hours. Cheerios!

One...

2009-10-24T17:52:00.001+08:00

Always, always, always mix classics with trends. Here's a dress that will take you places, wherever, through this year and next, and whenever. Structured slouch with the right shape for all the right places. Gorgeous tiny details on its thick cotton-polyester material, great ruched sleeves, tulip shaped skirt with two side pockets. From the office to far away from it, One is a easy fit.

One Colour: Grey, with the tiniest white checks
Fits Best: UK8-12
Price: RM52 Now RM39

Two

2009-10-24T17:51:00.002+08:00

Intricate folds masterfully created to flatter every lady, this origami inspired blue-grey dress caught Eclectic Cut's attention at first glance. Very classy, and a definite fashion statement, one of those that shouts quietly, not in a look at me britney spears way. Think posh. The material has really cool tiny details tt reminds one of jappy things. Two side pockets, 1 clincher. Yes, 1 pc! Never re-stockable.

Two Sold
Colour: Grey-light blue
Fits Best: UK8-12
Price: RM55

Three

2009-10-24T17:50:00.002+08:00

The black alternative to Two, this number is the creative little black dress. No clincher included with this but you can just clinch it up with by and large any belts. Think creative - red clincher, blue, green? Or play safe but good with black and sliver. Versatile chic.

Three Sold
Colour: Black as night
Fits Best: UK8-12
Price: RM52

Five

2009-10-24T17:49:00.005+08:00

I prefer my lace in limited quantity, and reckon them best if they invoke some kitsch or vintage feel. This one here I can't help loving. Striking cobalt blue with white lace, cute buttons and a skirt with a tier for volume. Clinched in waist from elastic ruchs on the sides, mandarin colour for an added buzz. Trendy yet it would not go out of style after the current lace trend runs its course. Mmmmm.

Five Sold
Colours: Cobalt blue & white lace
Fits Best: UK6-10
Price: RM52 Now RM39

Four

2009-10-24T17:49:00.003+08:00

A chiffon frock for summer days. To catch the wind and run and play. This little frock has its white inner slip sewn in so you won't need to bother about layering. Its waist is clinched and paired with a chiffon ribbon sash. Twirl about and jump and play in this pretty little number :)

Four Sold
Colour: Green & White

Around The World

2009-09-15T22:45:00.000+08:00

The smallest nuances mark what a certain nationality's style might be. From a laid back, perpetual summer slouch to a in-your-face, quirky shout, from east to west, Eclectic Cut presents Around The World, our 11th collection gathered from KL. As usual, mostly one pieces only. Quantity marked on each post. Peace out.

American Girl

2009-09-15T22:43:00.001+08:00

Summer breeze and casual chic. Flattering stripes with peekaboo lace. Clinched in waist and adjustable straps that can be tucked away. A perpetual fave. Green & White - Only 2 pieces avail. Blue & White - 1-piece only.

English Rose

2009-09-15T22:42:00.004+08:00

Floral prints can go so many way - as diff as Laura Ashley to Village People. But the truly timeless floral prints are those of the English Rose. Pretty as a button, very bit a lady, English Rose with her unique buttons, peekaboo eyelet lace bodice and hem, gently ruffled straps and of course, those floral prints... is a keeper. Comes with a slip with adjustable straps. 1 pc only for each colour.

French Lola

2009-09-15T22:41:00.006+08:00

Why does nautical stripes always feel so french? Here's one for the quirky French Lola, the rebel who would not fit into the sea of black. Love the buttons! 1 piece each only and yes, the pretty clincher is included.

Mademoiselle

2009-09-15T22:40:00.004+08:00

Pull on black footless tights, slip into a pair of highbacks, pull on your Jackie O huge shades and wear Mademoiselle with a good ounce of oomph. Sequined elastic high waist, silhouette-patterned lined skirt and a black chiffon hem peeking out from under it. Not sure why but there's a glamour that reminds me of the '20s. 2-pc avail. Never to be repeated.

Eastern Harem

2009-09-15T22:38:00.004+08:00

Looks like harem pants ain't going any where. Darn if they are not so comfy. These ones are your black basic starters but with a nice twist of two slouchy pockets with buttons details. Great comfy soft, thick elastic cotton material, low slung waist, your best alternative to jeans and ugly berms.

Pearls 'n Cream

2009-09-15T22:37:00.008+08:00

Did the pretty necklace on Mademoiselle catch your eye? Well, it caught mine. So here's Eclectic Cut's first necklace - Pearls 'n Cream. Elegant with some old world charm, yet very modern still. The flower is detachable too so you could use it as a brooch or on a hairband. 2 pieces only!

Darla.

2009-09-06T12:00:00.004+08:00

An imported one-off piece cut like a dream and different from the rest of the team. Gentle tulip cut, ribbon hem in, genius mix of thin smooth wool and satin silk, adjustable collar style made possible by creative tailoring and a lovely ribbon sash you can get even more creative with! Can be worn as a dress or tunic with leggings. Belt it up, wear as is, ribbon up the sash, pull it to the left or right... myriad room for individual customising. Only 2 pcs in each colour - midnight black, sliver moon and pearl white.

Jap Jean

2009-08-14T10:59:00.012+08:00

Jap Jean was love at first sight. Perfectly cut out of a soft yet thick denim, detailed in its finishings and small touches and with 2 cute pockets and 3 multi-coloured, cloth-covered buttons, this is a certified winner. Avail in dark blue or a light blue.

Satin Tess

2009-08-14T10:58:00.006+08:00

Satin Tess can be dressed up or down, worn for day or night. In keeping with versality, its collar - peter pan at the back, asymetrical on the front - can actually be adjusted according to how its wearer wants it. Cleverly designed as two long flaps with a tuck-in tab, you control the look of the collar front. And yes, the all-versatile clincher is included. Steal.

We've been seeing renditions of the tube dress in denim but here's a more wearable version that will last longer than a trend which you can wear even years down the road. Chic, trendy, and yes, with two pockets. Avail in dark grey or light grey in a nice soft fabric which looks textured upon close up. 1 pc each only.

Oh so happy. That's what you think when you see this dress and what you feel when you wear it. Absolutely playful and unique in details, the straps, neckline, even the hem are crafted with detail. Perfect for perk me up days, or if you are a happy camper, every day. 1 pc each.

Is it a tunic? A boyfriend shirt? A dress? Answer is all of the above. Depending on your height and mood, this laid back glam piece could be worn any which way. I love the loose cut and those pearly buttons, the wide sleeves and those two big pockets. Available in black, white, grey and blue. 1 pc each.

The easiest way to sharpen up a look is with a shirt-styled blouse but by and large, most of those are boring and corporate. Here's one that's not. Pretty material with sheen and patterned details, restrained ruffles, gathered waistline and cut a bit longer for a flattering sihoulette, Ecelctic Zoe adds some zest to every wardrobe. Avail in black, grey and white and each with its own unique charm. 1 pc each for grey and white. 2 pc for black.

Hark Back 2 Hollywood Glam

2009-07-25T13:49:00.000+08:00

As much as I love retro funk and modern zest, I do think that the old Hollywood Glam look ala Audrey Hepburn, Jean Shrimpton and Twiggy, is possibly the most ageless, effortless, glamorous looks. So in the midst of our running after trends and getting caught up in the changing world of fashion, I like to invest in pieces I know I can wear even 10 years down the road. Eclectic Cut presents the Hark Back 2 Hollywood Glam mini collection. 3 names, limited pieces.

The Audrey

2009-07-25T13:48:00.003+08:00

'cause a fitted little black dress can take you from 1960s to 2020, from boardroom to partay and from chic to wild. We all need a little black dress. This one is of superb quality, a thick satin feeling structured material. With details to set it apart and wearability ala Audrey Hepburn. A necessity really.

The Twiggy

2009-07-25T13:47:00.002+08:00

Twiggy was the It girl in the 1960s, way before Kate Moss even struck a pose. Waif like gorgeous and with a chic that defies era and age, she popularised tunic dresses amongst others. The Twiggy is an avant garde looking tunic dress, long nuff to be a dress but cut like a tunic and brushed over with the most artistic brush strokes. Its straps are unique - satin folds that you could experiment with and its material is again top notch thick satin. Very, very gorgeous.

Fits: UK6-10 (XS-small M)
Colour: Black with strokes of lilac
Price: RM69

The Jean

2009-07-25T13:46:00.005+08:00

Jean Shrimpton may be a new name to some these days but boy, was she a trendstarter and trail blazer. Absolutely stylish and always a lady, The Jean comes in green and black and with a free clincher. The straps can be worn several ways, each look imparting different feel. The cut of the dress flatters the female form. All in all, wearing this really reminds me of a song - Treat Her Like A Lady. And yeah, when you are wearing this, people will know they are in the presence of a lady indeed. Chic.

There's something about voluminous skirts that are ever so attractive, esp when they come in a billowy dress with a fitted top. And what's very cool abt Swirl Me Around is that it can be a skirt too! It's very wear-able - I had to get it modelled 'cause it looks better on real bodies than the mannequin! Each colour combo only comes in 1-piece. Check out the peeking trim at the end of the skirt too!

Top notch quality - Inner lining, side zip, linen-like cotton, beautiful stitching, detailed ruching at the back for better fit, and of course those lovely pale gold embroidery on the bodice and back. Summer Wind was too good to pass up despite its price tag. It could be girlish or classy, depending on how you wear it. And you can also wear the tie-back sash at the back or the front. Something like this would easily go for a hundred bucks more at Zara or Forever 21. So grab yours. 1-piece only for the mustard and violet, 2-piece only for the black :)

I loved this skirt but alas, I can't keep it 'cause it's too small for me. Only fits those of you with waist size 24. Very pretty material, soft and cottony. Somewhat vintage inspired with 1 side pocket. Likely to be a export piece from a US brand. I can't tell which 'cause the tag was cut. New piece.

I fell in love with this bag at first glance. And at first touch and check, I was won over by its many compartments, leather feel and quality all-round details. It even has an additional sling strap. This is the bag that goes with any thing to any where. No more rummaging around in your bag to find something!

2009-05-08T14:44:00.010+08:00

Instead of talking about the aesthetics of these wrist cuffs' (which are obviously awesome), I really want to tell you about their quality. Frankly, I'm not sure if they are leather or not but they sure feel like it. Check out their backs, look at the material's close up details, these are the way cuffs are meant to be - Flippin' gorgeous AND made of good quality. I've worn my own cuffs I've got from Australia 'n Singapore for over 5 years and none of them have died on me. Yes, that's the way it should be. And if u get a cuff from this collection, I'll also give u RM5 off a cuff from the Singapore collection. Original post for that found here.

Melbourne Picks, Eclectic Cut

2009-05-03T14:00:00.001+08:00

At Eclectic Cut, I believe in imported great picks at local prices. By local prices, I'm not referring to other shop blogs but other imported items in the malls which go for at least 2, 3 times higher if not more than those I import.

I had an awesome 2 weeks in Melbourne and through this collection, I hope you get to share in the gorgeousness that Melbourne is and offers.

All items are 1-piece only and totally, absolutely impossible to re-stock hand-picked from both commercial and more indie brands at prices that are frankly dirt-cheap for the brands and quality.

So let's get to it, should we? ;)

Psst, click on pix for larger shots.

Love Your Neighbour!

2009-04-05T22:22:00.006+08:00

Love your neighbour!

Some of your asked why a Singaporean girl like me is living in Malaysia for. Well, not too long ago, while studying in Melbourne, I met the best man in the universe :) He was (and is) honest, humourous, sweet and a man I could lean on. And of course, he's cute ;) We just got married a few months ago & this collection celebrates Malaysia-Singapore's many other unions.

Starting April 5, buy 1 item from our Singapore collections (our 1st 2 updates - #1 Cut & Sophomore) and 1 from our 1st KL collection (#3 cut - KL lovin' - Eclectic Mish-mash) and get 10% discount off your total purchase! For those opting for courier, I'll also absorb the top up for postage if your package goes over the weight limit for RM6.

This is a 7-day sale before we leave KL for 2 weeks on some travels so hurry and email! Most items are 1-piece only.

#3 Cut > KL lovin' - Eclectic mish-mash

2009-04-05T21:43:00.002+08:00

KL - like the fashion scene at the moment - is a mish-mash of cultures, colours, lifestyles. Architecture from various decades stand next to each other, folks from different hometowns live together and fashion influences mingle as a melting pot. So. In my 1st KL collection, styles n influences range from vintage inspired to today. And heck, I love the curating process so if you love this cut, I'll def do another KL cut again.

Animal Farm & '50s Dottiness

2009-04-05T20:51:00.004+08:00

There's nothing not to love about these two shirts. Tapered waist with ruched back details for better fit, rolled up sleeves with a very awesome sliver pearl button. Animal Farm has the cutest collection of furry friends with trombones, christmas trees & a soldier boy. 50s Dottiness boasts light pink small dots - Definitely retro but in no way loud like those from more recent times.

1 pc each only. Not restockable. Vintage inspired clincher's not included (but psst, yes, it's on sale too).

Animal Farm & '50s Dottiness (Both sold)
Fits: UK8-12

Victoria, Victoria

2009-04-05T19:16:00.005+08:00

Pretty chiffon dress with great details - From the gentle pleats along the front and the slight ruffles on the mandarin type collar to the clinched in sleeves that produce a slight billowly silhoutte on the sleeves perfectly complementary to the whole dress' gentle sway. Available in emerald or magenta and with a sash to show off your tiny waist.

Magenta colour is slightly more purple/ less pink in real life.

Renaissance Cream

2009-04-05T18:27:00.005+08:00

Think romance, think renaissance, think designer-inspired ruffles with two cream roses and sash, all in beautiful layered chiffon. This is a one-off piece. If I continue to describe, I would rave on for too long so here, I'll let the pix do the talking instead.

Renaissance Cream (Sold)
Colour: Cream
Fits: UK6-12 (XS-M)
Cost: Was RM55
Note: Dressy's sheer. Wld need petticoat underneath.

Vintage Pina-jump

2009-04-05T17:36:00.006+08:00

It's a pinafore, it's a jumper, ooh, it's a retro distressed denim-look pina-jump! Or whatever you like to call it. I saw something like this on Megan Joy on American Idol this week in a bold red but it was the distressed blue & big side pockets that caught my attention with this piece. Add to that the cross back and casual slouch chic factor, this very cute piece will take you places. Skirt part is stretchy for better fit and the suspender type straps are fastened by buttons that allows length adjustment.

Vintage Pina-jump - SOLD
Colours: Faded, distressed denim-blue
Fits: UK8-14 (S-L)
Cost: Was RM45. Now RM30.

Black Origami

2009-04-05T16:48:00.003+08:00

A simple black dress with all the right things to make it chic 'nuff - wide sleeves, slight pleated details and gathers, clinched in waist and two side pockets(!). Pair it with a clincher if you want a more dramatic sihoulette, dress it up with coloured or black leggings, or pull over a long cardi for a little bit of art flair. This is a dress you can wear any day, and every day.

Long Yellow Cardi

2009-04-05T14:54:00.003+08:00

It's really as simple as that - Long Yellow Cardi. Its front is tapered to be longer so you can wrap it around your waist or tie it up as creatively. Its hue is gentle and wld rock a black outfit. Or grey. Or white. Or many other colours actually. And it has lapels to add just a wee bit structure to its comfortable form. Nice soft material, very comfy indeed. Seen here with Black Origami.

Vintage Inspired Clincher

2009-04-05T14:01:00.003+08:00

You've seen it on Animal Farm, '50s Dottiness & Black Origami. This black & gold number is incredibly versatile. It prob can go with all the items on Eclectic Cut, that's how versatile it is. 2 pieces only. The one used on the mannequin is my own :)

Actual gold is not so pale. Most true colour would be on Animal Farm.

#2 Cut - Sophomore

Another collection from the sunny island down south :)

Girl, You'll Be A Woman Soon

2009-03-12T21:59:00.007+08:00

Yes, I know togas and one-shouldered dresses are hot. But as much as I love those soft toga-ish dresses, I prefer the more classic structured lines of something like, well, this. Nothing airy-fairy at all, you could pair this with killer stilettos and go into the boardroom ready. Or accessorise it up for a rock concert. You know, it's the type of dress that is so fashionable but is still capable of saying you mean business. And frankly, red dresses have always been hot and will always be hot. If you scroll down a bit, you would see how that glamourous shoulder poof can be worked in so many ways too. Just the right versatility for every woman.

Girl, You'll Be A Woman Soon
Colours: Classic Red (avail)/ Classy Black (Sold)
Fits: UK 6-10 (XS to a small M)
Price: Was RM59. Now RM39

Just A Little Prep(py)

2009-03-12T21:58:00.006+08:00

There's always a time for structure, even in clothing. These two just slightly preppy dresses have lovely subtle textures - This dark blue grey baby has understated denim like texture and the brown gold one? That has gold threads running through it in plaids patterns (click on photos to enlarge them). And both have ruched neckline and buttons on the shoulders. Sweet.

Drapes & Knots

2009-03-12T21:57:00.005+08:00

Drapes & Knots, they rock my boat. This dress makes it to my list of most comfortable, easy to throw on, casual chic dresses. Made of soft cotton which drapes itself off your curves naturally, it comes with an attached belt that allows you to clinch in that small waist and show it off even when the rest of the dress stays in gentle drapes. I love the piping on the neckline area, and the little details on the back but most of all, I love how this falls so well! Available in black, brown and grey.

* Psst, color on top for the grey is not accurate. Pls see other pix for actual hue.

Kimono Tunic

2009-03-12T21:56:00.002+08:00

Here's a twist to the kimono - A patterned kimono style chiffon tunic. Cut V on the front and back, this light, slightly sheer tunic can be worn as a top or with leggings/ skinnies. Pretty black flowery prints has just the right amount of carefree femininity. Comes with a satin boob tube too.

Skinny Belts

2009-03-12T21:54:00.006+08:00

I advocate having plenty of belts - clinchers, skinnies, leather, patent in every colour group. It's just one of those things - The right belt not just complements outfits, it sometimes redeems a bad one. These 2 skinny lovelies are meant to hang on your hip but voila, with a little ingenuity (as displayed below and in Just A Little Preppy above), you can use them as clinchers too.

Colours: Vintage Brown, Vintage Cream
