Corset Kirtle "Twilight Pumpkin"

Linen Boned Gothic Dress for Halloween

“I've spent so long in the darkness, I'd almost
forgotten how beautiful the moonlight is.”
Corpse Bride

Have you ever seen how twilight and fog turn the bright colors of autumn leaves and pumpkins at the patch into a graveyardish misty hollow? What was a sunlit gazebo in the garden looks like a family crypt. The table, so laden with treats that no surface was visible, is now covered with spiders of all sizes instead. Who seemed to be a friendly redhead dame appears to be a powerful witch, as foretold. Her Gothic long dress is adorned with the trim of all the shades of gloom, and she is as far from enjoying your company as Allhallowtide is from Beltain. Don't tell us we haven't worn you!

What comes to mind when you think about the medieval Gothic dress? Black color, sternness and primness, maybe some ornate lacing. Now add a pumpkin to it. Right? That's exactly how Halloween shenanigans work here at ArmStreet. In all senses, this is a dark fantasy costume. With plastic bones to make this kirtle-style Gothic woman dress work like a corset; with meters of high-quality natural linen for the ample skirt; with lacing at the back for a remarkable fit. But this Gothic dress comes with a twist – a twist of black velvet lace that spirals to imitate the pumpkin stem. And a puff of pumpkin-shaped fabric at the upper part of the detachable sleeve, the real gem of textile architecture. It's an unprecedented combination of sewing techniques and layered materials, invented by our development department to keep its signature shape long-lasting. However, our unique, in-house-developed pumpkin trim in 50 5 shades of gray is definitely more stern and prim, as befits gothic medieval clothes.

The sleeves are attached to this dark fantasy clothing with laces: the middle ones are made of velvet with a wire inside to keep a spiral shape, while the other two laces on each shoulder are made of linen. The dark fantasy dresses from our "Pumpkin" series are lined with fine black calico on the sleeves and bodice.

The Central European kirtle pattern is a terrific fit for the dark fantasy outfits with its emphasized waistline and square neckline. Paired with themed accessories, it creates bright, eye-catching witch character.

Please note: to preserve the sleeves' shape and the inner corset bones, we recommend dry cleaning for this item.
