HMSlatex started designing clothing for the designer’s own modeling career, but received so much interest in the edgy garments, she broadened the line to include what you see here, plus custom fabricated pieces. Who knew you could access such a collection on [Etsy](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dropshop)? HMSlatex cage dresses are made to order in a translucent rubber with black lines for $365, or in another colour of your choice. These dresses may be too over the top for you, but take a look at her other selections—a cute Betty Boop styled [lace-up pink skirt](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/parade-that-lace) and grey and black tank tops.
