Love this top. I was a bit worried that the collar/ choker part would be uncomfortable/ too tight but its not. I am a size 14/16 UK and bought a size L. It fits perfectly

Love it
Ordered the Dione top & only just worn it. I received quite a few compliments about it. Customer service was 100% when I asked question about the top, I received a reply very quickly. Delivery was good also. Will definitely use Kate's clothing again.

The Perfect Top
I love this top so much! It's soft, the perfect length, and you can adjust the chest and neck parts. Also I knew that this top would be a bit clingy on me because my measurements are bigger than xxl, but I still really wanted this and so happy I bought it.

Amazing top
I really love this rop. The material is really comfortable and clings to the right places. It's true to size, I bought a size small and I'm a 10 and it fits perfectly. Having the ribbon detail is great for any bust size (within reason!) as you can pull it tight or let it loose to allow for bigger ****. Love the neck choker detail too. Love it 😀

Amazingly Adaptable Top
I was desperately seeking a top that looked **** without being **** and something that had long sleeves that I could wear under short sleeved tops or dresses without looking like a 90's skater kid or simply to wear under a waistcoat or corset and it had to be....cheap! Purses are under pressure again....I wasn't sure about the red/black ombrey mesh but it looks far better in the flesh so to speak, the red misty mesh is actually very subtle. Top is a great fit without being so tight that I'd look like a human haggis. Looks really good with the Gloomara skirt (even though I didn't get it for that!) and a velvet corset top and will prob look great with camo combats or red tartan leggings with 3 row ring belt l or a tartan mini skirt or skort/hot pants. I am totally chuffed with my purchase and the usual, amazing customer service provided by Kate's - keep it up! Happy New Year!
For Once, I Saw Through The Veil....(Of Male Miasma)
I bought this as a joke/hint Xmas Present for my scuzzy, twenty-something eldest. If you are brave enough to open his door then you are hardier than myself or my hexband, human flesh has been known to bubble and melt down from the dreadful odour of....death & decay. I was completely flabbergasted that he knew how to rig up a reed diffuser without breaking it or damaging himself or his room but best of all.....once the veil lifted due to a rose-like aroma...shock, horror I saw my handsome, smiley, good natured son in his natural habitat. I will definitely get him another (just need to get the Flymo Ultra out to tame his Billy Gibbons Beard..)
I am very short in stature and have been looking for a long/maxi skirt for ages that doesn't make me look like I've stolen Mummy's clothing for dress up time.... Yeah! Enter Gloomara . . Stretchy ruched material gives a gothy rock look and a faux leather waistband and some strapping hardware make it a great item for day wear with maybe a sheer shirt and waistcoat/corset and evening could be worn with semi transparent bodysuit and corset belt and **** platform boots. Skirt is comfy, I bought a size M as I am somewhere between a small and medium (I am a rectangle shape lol). I'm glad I bought this as it looks fabulous on, customer service and delivery was perfect as ever.
My order arrived surprisingly quickly. I've been excited for both the boots and the lipstick. Everything was like described and more. Another happy and definitely returning shopper here!
Thank you for this lovely mug, it makes me smile every time I look at it. Great quality and good value. Very well packaged and arrived quickly . I would definitely buy from Kate's clothing again.
Rather a long delivery time, but as the item was coming from China and considering the Christmas and New Year holiday period, that was understandable. Great packing and the item was superb quality and fantastic condition. Fabric is slightly 'satiny', which gives it a luxurious feel and it is generously cut and slightly stretchy. Just as described and pictured, very comfortable to wear and totally unique.
