Evaki dress - perfect!
Lovely dress, light and flowy with lots of stretch. It's a lightweight jersey that is great in hot weather - I took it to wear at a festival. It packed well, didn't crease and has washed well too on my return. The sizing is great, I went for my usual size with advice from Kate and Marjorie and it is flattering on a larger figure! I love the hemline and the pockets xxx

Necessary Evil Evaki Hi - Lo dress
I ordered this dress because I liked the hem line, and it looked like a comfy garment that would be ideal for any occasion. I was delighted when it arrived and felt how soft and flowy the fabric was. I am now looking forward to wearing it for the first time this week. I love this dress.

Fabulous dress
So comfortable and flattering.
Soft beautifully draping fabric.
I think this dress is going to be very versatile, on it's own in the hot weather, great for layering in the colder months.
I like it so much that I've ordered a second one.

Such Victorian vibes!
I love the Victorian style and elegance of this velvet top! Exactly what I was looking for in a good price.
This is another Radioactive Unicorn nail varnish and it's a lovely deep green that looks different under various lights. It covers well with 2 coats and a top coat of your choice. I think it's great for a Mano-Meno Mocha meets with mates or whenever you fancy. It just looks the biz
Very happy with this product and love the colour on me so I bought it again. It is a dark, matte mauve and a fraction darker than the image. The texture and smell is pleasant, and has decent staying power with some touch ups needed if eating a full meal.
Loved this dress , it looked amazing on and was more detailed than expected . The fit was true to size as was the length and I had loads of compliments as a spider queen , I also ordered last minute and the customer service was brilliant and it arrived in time . An all round great experience not just for Halloween but for my ever increasing goth wardrobe thanks
I’ve been purchasing from Kate’s for years and it’s top notch each time! Especially love that she stocks Radioactive Unicorn as I ADORE their cosmetics! 🖤🖤🖤
