The Bombette Metallic Lace Dress

The Vampire’s Wife brings its entrance-making talents to this metallic lace, full-length gown.

The dress-shape of the season undoubtably comes courtesy of The Vampire’s Wife - the label founded by Susie Cave, model and wife of the prince of gothic rock Nick Cave. Influenced by vintage shapes but always rendering them contemporary through clever, flattering tailoring and tactile, unusual fabrics, the dresses are fought over by celebrity and fashion editor alike. The Bombette dress reimagines the label’s renowned ruffle-sleeved silhouette in a short-sleeve style. This vintage-inspired gown is crafted from metallic floral lace with the brand's recognisable gathered trims seen across the chest and at the hem. Lined with silk, it is a luxury to wear – add decadently embellished, jewelled heels.
