Simply classic. It's rather short (So you can elongate it with a lacey petticoat/slip skirt underneath), but it's so comfortable. I'm amazed at how cozy it is. It floofs out just the right way and fits to your shape so stunningly. Honestly I wouldn't sleep on this one! It's perfect for those fellow floofy dress lovers!
So unique~! I love how this has become my most "colourful" dress in my wardrobe. The dress is quite mini and I would recommend wearing with a petticoat/leggins underneath.. But it's so versatile. I've mixed a corset over the top, waist belts, jackets.. all sorts and it takes customizing so well. The back is also has a ribbon to "Tighten" it up back there if you wanted more shape.. It doesn't have boneing however so be aware of not over tightening. It also fastens with a invisible side zip.
So beautiful. The fabric is abit stiffer than I anticipated but honestly its been so lovely to wear this summer. I love the bow front that also hangs elegantly along the front.
I am 5''3 and I find the length not too long. The cutouts in the lace is so good for ventilation too. It's honestly been a gamer changer for me this summer to keep cool but also still feelin my gothic self~
unbelievably gorgeous dress, but be careful with the sizing! read the actual chart pictured because i ordered a small and it was more like a size 6 than a size 10 lol. the team at kate's were so lovely and dealt with my return very quickly. best goth shop around :)
Absolutely beautiful shoes. After looking at these shoes for months I finally decided to buy them. I am never taking them off. Beautifully packaged, they arrived really quickly. The ordering process is so easy to use as is the website. I don't know why it's taken me so long to return to your shop and I'll definitely be back soon. Thank you.
Kate's is the best place to buy for quality, choice, great customer service and geneorus customer rewards. Also, as a small indie concern there's no hassle with the dreaded AI assistants if you have an issue. True old fashioned personal service. What's not to like?
Another beauty from Kate's magic cave of good things
Another beauty from Kate's magic cave of good things. I have the other colourway that I bought earlier form Kate's, so now I have two lovely tops that can match 'bottoms' in my wardrobe. As always,a great service - fast despatch - and I know whatever I buy from Kate's will be great quality.
I bought this one in 3XL as that was the best size to fit my masc presenting, non-binary male frame. I do like the brand, but was a little worried how well it would sit in that size. As it happens, the silhouette is very good, and the lightweight material feels nice to wear, even without a mesh top underneath (like the model in the photos). As always, it's well-made, it was delivered quickly, and it looks great IRL!
