LIVE THE FANTASY 🖤

The last few markets have seen me nearly sell out, and I’m now busy making the final pieces to fulfil all of your current online orders. 🥹

Everything in the clothing collection is made to order, with a current turnaround time of 8–10 weeks. So I hate to say it already, especially as I don’t like thinking about the big C before Halloween has had its time to shine, but it’s officially time to start thinking about Christmas. 🎄💀

🎁 UK Christmas orders: order by 11th October

🇺🇸 US Christmas orders: shipping is now OPEN! I’m still waiting for Royal Mail to confirm their official Christmas posting dates, but to give your order the best chance of arriving in time, I recommend ordering by 1st October to allow for any potential postage delays.

Handmade, made-to-order clothing for those who want to live the fantasy, not blend in. 🖤

Comment SWORD and I’ll send you the link. ⚔️

With the_dark_arts_market tomorrow and me trying to cram as much work as I can into my toddlers nap I really didn’t have time to put on make up, or even brush my hair 🤦🏼‍♀️ but I had to make sure to snap a few pics of our new harlequin skirt. I will only have one with me as I was using up the last of my gingham (don’t worry more stock has been ordered) once it’s here I’ll definitely be making one for my self as well.

The skirt is made from 100% cotton fully French seamed with contrasting panels/ pockets/ belt loops of cotton drill and cotton gingham. This one is size 16, it is a big for me on the waist but that’s the great thing about belt loops.

I’m also thinking gingham in more colours than black and white? What do you think?

I think this is going to be the perfect skirt for the ‘berrr months 🍂🍁🍃

When I checked the weather forecast last week this week supposedly promised the storms my sole has been craving, a small sprinkling of rain over night was not what I was expecting or wanting. I wanted stand out in sheets of water spinning arms in the air as my clothes soaked through, I wanted to shiver and feel cold. I know we shouldn’t wish away the summer but I am truly a girl made for the colder seasons.

I am currently working on a lovely order for Caitlin cutting out our gingham stays 🖤✂️

10 days until the Oracle Dress arrives. 🖤

Some dresses are made to follow trends.

This one was inspired by historical stays, medieval silhouettes and the kind of gothic fashion that never goes out of style.

With adjustable side lacing, a sculpted basque waist and our signature Three of Swords print, the Oracle Dress was designed to feel as powerful as it looks.

Now I need to know…

When you picture yourself wearing it, what’s the setting?

⚔️ Exploring the ruins of an old abbey?
🌙 Wandering through a misty forest at dusk?
🕯️ Lighting candles in a centuries-old manor?
📚 Browsing the hidden corner of an ancient bookshop?

Or somewhere completely different? Tell me below, I love seeing where your imagination takes you.

Only 10 days to go.

The Oracle Dress is coming. 🗡️

Inspired by historical stays and made for modern-day witches, this gothic mini dress blends medieval-inspired construction with everyday wearability.

Made from 100% black cotton drill, it features a sculpted basque waist, adjustable side lacing, a gathered skirt and our signature Three of Swords print. Hidden elastic beneath the lacing at the skirt allows the fit to adapt with you, while the structured bodice creates a silhouette that feels both powerful and timeless.

Designed for wandering ancient ruins. For candlelit evenings. For those who feel more at home in forgotten places than crowded rooms.

If you could wear the Oracle Dress anywhere, where would it be?

A moonlit forest? A crumbling castle? An old library? Tell me below… 🖤

A throw back to my outfit at last week’s market, this dress is a godsend in this heat! It’s 100% cotton so is really breathable, you will find no sticky sweaty polyester here and with big bellowing sleeves and body perfect for swishing and twirling in, and of course is the perfect base for styling with chunky belts, harnesses and corsets. 🖤🖤
