THE VAMPIRE'S WIFE

Falconetti metallic-thread silk-blend midi dress

Inspired by all things gothic and Victoriana, Susie Cave originally started her label The Vampire’s Wife exclusively for a small group of friends; since then, it’s risen to cult status thanks to pieces like the Falconetti dress. Spun from a silk-blend imbued with glistening metallic threads, it’s shaped to the label’s hallmark silhouette: long sleeves, high neck and trimmed with ruffles around the hem and cuffs. As for styling, we’re thinking chunky Mary Jane shoes.
