The Poison Flower Gown features gently puffed sleeves with bow cuffs and a chevron-seamed waistline sitting atop a flowing, shimmering maxi skirt. Gowns from The Vampire’s Wife made from this breathtaking, high-shine fabric have been worn by royalty and A-listers all over the world."

Description from Vogue.com:
“With a careful selection of silhouettes, The Vampire’s Wife will live on as the uniform of artists, dreamers and cultural icons.

The metallic Poison Flower Gown from The Vampire's Wife's glistens as though it has a light shining on it at all times, as if by magic. It perfectly encapsulates founder Susie Cave's inimitable romance. Expect mesmerizing, hyper-feminine silhouettes with exquisitely Gothic overtones, and you’ll still be blown away.
There aren’t many designers more theatrical than The Vampire’s Wife. From fairytale to reality, the label has exercised a level of imagination possessed only by the very few, to which this gown is a tribute. Crafted from an exquisite blend of silk and gleaming metallic thread, it’s the bridge between childhood and adulthood, emulating the same nostalgic glamour that at once had us utterly captivated.”

Sample size: UK8 / US4.
Upon a flat surface, unworn, the waist measures 13.25 inches across.
This dress is absolutely unforgettable. Purchased from The Vampire’s Wife final sample sale in London, it is unlined and does not have the size label in the skirt area. The seams will be a little rougher than the commercially-available pieces but this is only noticeable inside the dress.

Fabrication detail provided by The Vampire’s Wife website:
Our very fine quality silk lamé is delicate and should be worn with care. The silk threads achieve beautiful dimension, depth of colour and texture, resulting in lamé that is easily snagged. Slight pulls are the character of the fabrication and not considered flaws. We recommend that after each wear any loose threads should be carefully trimmed.

Centre back zip closure.
