I'm so in love. The only thing that isn't perfect about this dress is the length; I'm 5'2" and ordered a small, and it hits at about upper calf instead of in between knee and calf, where I'd ideally like it. But that is far outweighed by the amazing quality, the fit, the supportive yet comfortable boning in the bodice and, my god, THE POCKETS.

Love it!!!!

I wore this dress to celebrate turning half a century! This dress made me feel beautiful and helped fulfil my teenage gothic dreams as this is the dress I would have loved to have owned when I was younger! I got my usual LFEN size (M) and the fit was spot on for me (UK12, 36-30-39). The bodice is boned, hut I removed the boning without losing the shape or fit (the dress works with boning but my preference is unboned). The lace is beautiful and had a slight metallic sheen which makes it shimmer in sunlight. Another gorgeous piece to add to my LFEN collection!

I personally love my dress. The lace is very soft and durable , lightweight and breathable especially in 90degree weather. The only complaint I have is that its not made in petite sizes. I am only 4'10 and the boning in the sides of my dress came all the way up to my armpits which got a bit annoying. My sleeves were also very long so I rolled them up to my elbow but other than that it's perfect. I usually am an xl in vixen however for lfmn I am a 2xl .

This dress is so unbelievably gorgeous, but one thing I don’t care for is the boning simply because it gives me a wonky shape (that’s with all boning). You can size down in this (I did), but it fits more comfortably sticking true to size because the inner lining is a bit tight. Other than that, this dress is so flattering and beautiful! I used it for my engagement photos and it’s so amazing!

This dress is EVERYTHING. It feels so AMAZING

This beautiful dress makes my dark heart so happy. The lace is so lush and soft. Seriously feeling like a goth princess.

Love love love! Wore for my wedding, was a big hit.

I wanted to love this dress. The lace is soft and so pretty and the back is gorgeous. That being said, it seems that due to the boning it is cut for someone taller than I am (5’5”) as the boning bulged at the sides. The bust also seemed to pull down in a not so flattering way. The arms/armpits are also loose, I assume because the lace is so delicate it needs to be to avoid rips, but it did this weird triangle oversized thing, and I was hoping the sleeves would fit tighter. It did not work for me. I love LFEN and Vixen and usually the clothes make me feel amazing, but this was a miss for me.

I love this dress. Its a little like my wedding dress but that was blush , when i seen this i had to have it. I wasnt disappointed. Lovely stretch and fit.

This dress is beautiful! The lace is gorgeous and soft. Bust fits nicely and is true to size. I am 5' 2" and will mostly hem the underskirt to below the knees since I wear flats. This dress will be perfect for spring!

Samantha H.

A beautiful dress with heavy lace and fabric. The detail on the lace is gorgeous and it’s the perfect dress.

I wasn't sure what to expect from this so I ordered it in both 2x and 3x. I tend to fall right between 2x and 3x in Vixen and LFEN stuff, with 2x items usually being too small in the bust/back and arms. The 2x fit - even my big left arm - but I felt the 3x (which is now my "usual" size for this brand) was the better choice. The 3x was easier to zip without being too big, and the boning in the sides of the bodice didn't bulge oddly like they did with the 2x. The sizing differential between the two wasn't that extreme. Overall, I like the dress. It's about what I expected and I think it will work well for me! Watch the belt sizing - both the 2x and 3x versions of this dress came with belts stamped 3x.

Michelle N.

seriously... bury me in this dress! It fits like a dream! I’m so glad i listened to the wonderful customer service team and stuck with my normal size! Size medium- bust 37, waist 29! The lace is so perfect and not at all scratchy!

Monica G.

SHE'S HERE! I received the Mourning Dress last night and tried on today. I'm wearing my usual 3x and although it's gorgeous, I could of easily sized down. Will be exchanging this beauty for the 2x. But trust me when I say this, the fabric is absolutely amazing. So soft and wearable without having to worry about any itching.
