Custom projects
Many of you may not know this, but we are working with several private clients on custom items. If this is a service you are interested in, please email us at info@anotherwordforpink.com for more information. We have even branched out into maternity wear.

We will be running more contests through the fall and winter, so fan us on Facebook or follow us on Twitter to keep up and get first dibs on contests and deals.
Blue Garden Dress

model: Sahira Sepp
Breeyn saw this fabric at the lovely Russian’s shop and fell in love with it. Strange, because she’s not much for blue, but it’s showing up all over the place these days. Wait til you see her Spring/Summer 11 collection! Anyway, we digress. This beautiful sheer paisley number has white flocked flowers, pleats down the front of the skirt, long sleeves and smocking up the back to ensure a close fit. It is an over-the-head number, and requires no zip. Please include bra size, jean waist and height when ordering. Belt shown not included, but we can make you one if you fancy.
Birthday Edition Special!

Breeyn’s mum visited her recently, and brought her some gems from ‘home’. Including a length of the metallic gold stripe fabric that our very first edition dress was made from. This is the very last of it, my friends. So if you missed out last time owning this fabulous dress, here is one last chance to snap it up!
We need your bra size and height for this dress. Please include when ordering. Sheer metallic gold hand-pleated wrap dress is sculpted to fit the bust of the client. Belt in photo not included, but a close-fitting belt is necessary for wearing the dress.
Pink Striped Taffeta Skirt

model: Joanna Eggett
It’s AnotherWordForPink’s second birthday! We’ve got a few things we’re going to try in the next year, as we listen to our customers and smooth out the kinks we’ve learned in the last two. My deepest heartfelt thanks for helping us get this far! Our first edition in the Birthday capsule is a pink and grey striped taffeta box-pleated skirt with a ruched waist band and big bow detail. Apparently Tavi was running around in our heads when we were marinating designs, though I had sort of thought that we were a bit over her (just kidding. Sort of). Joanna is wearing a lace bustier and the carved-and-embroidered leather collar from Breeyn’s F/W 10 signature collection. The skirt is made to order to your waist measurement, and has a side-zip closure. To cheat and know your waist measurement, just give us your jean size. Skirt is $45.

Pink jersey dress with pearl shoulders

Model: Kelly Burrow
Cotton jersey dress with pearl beading on the shoulders. Dress has shoulder pads. Belt not included. The jersey is really soft and lovely. This is a great dress for summer weddings, outdoor semi-formal events or just for evenings when you’d like a little extra panache. Please specify bra size, jean waist and height when ordering. $100
Floral print t-dress

necklace: Shallottlilly
A great t-shirt dress. Three-quarter-length sleeves, vibrant floral print. We were really loving the colours in this one. Only $50! Please include bra size, jean waist and height when ordering.
Flowered Collection Dress

model: Kelly Burrow
This dress is from Breeyn’s F/W 2010 signature collection. She is releasing it on the AnotherWordForPink site because we think it would be a great prom dress. It’s 100% cotton with hand-painted flowers, inspired by Russian khokhloma – a motif repeated through out her Hard-Boiled Wonderland collection. The dress features hand-cut black suede lace along the top of the bodice, and smocking in the back to ensure a close fit. The belt is not included. Please specify bra size, jean waist and height when ordering. $225
Sequin Hoody
model: Kelly Burrow
Kelly wears the sequin hoody. It’s a treat for the eyes, and the ears! We love this thing. It’s perfect for adding a touch of the marvelous to a basic outfit. Love it with a heather grey t-shirt and jeans, but of course we don’t actually prescribe how AWFP should be worn. $100

Lace dress
model and styling: Kelly Burrow
This dress was designed specially for Kelly for Christmas. As per usual with AWFP, it’s totally sheer – opportunities for sexiness or modesty, depending on how you’re feeling. $70. Detail shot below. We’ll need your bra size and jean waist for measuring purposes. Zip closure in back with our signature smocking to ensure a good fit. $100.

Electric Blue Dress

Special thanks to Magic Pony for providing the space!
Hat by Evelynne Kuzniak for Eeek! and hand bag by Arianne Young for BettyKiss Style!
This thing is reversible! You can flip it inside out and it’s fuchsia. Hot. By Arianne Young for BettyKiss Style!
All things feathers from Evelynne for Eeek! This pendant is actually a head piece as well, but we loved it as a broach.
Electic Blue dress! The best thing about this dress is the colour, and unfortunately, it’s difficult to communicate that properly via digital media. But it is such a great shade of blue! Cheers to Torunn for selling us on it. This is a bit more of a grown-up dress than usual, but with the holidays coming, we thought it was apropos. Kelly loved it because she thought it had a Mad Men-vibe. It is true that it turned out a bit more retro than we envisioned it, but that happens sometimes. We will need a bit more help than usual with fitting though – proper measurements will result in the best fit. Bust, rib cage (just under bust), waist (narrowest part of trunk) and hip (widest bit including bum). Trust us – if you can find a measuring tape anywhere, the result will be worth the effort! Only a few of these available. $100
The Kelly Dress

styling: Katrina Armstrong
Kel really liked the floral dress, but felt the colours just weren’t right for her, and loved the cut of the yellow stripe dress, but alas – that one sold out quickly. Since she is a very special friend (I don’t do customs very often) and a winter, we found this purple, blue and green rose printed chiffon and knew it would suit her perfectly. Hence, “The Kelly Dress”. I hesitated to release it as a general edition, but I think the colours are apropos for the season, so what the heck. Here you are!
Rose floral chiffon dress with smocked back, longer than either the yellow stripe or the pink floral. Comes down to just above the knee. Please specify if you would like it shorter. We need bust, waist and height measurements for this. You can give us your bra size and jean waist if that makes it easier for you. $50
The tights are also available. They are the most comfortable things in the world. They come in S,M,L. Please indicate height when ordering. We know you can get them at AA, but you can also buy them from us locally and with no sexual harassment and they are very slightly cheaper! xo $45*
