Drac in a Box gothic governess dressAlluringly frumpy, this charming gown from Drac in a Box stands out in a sea of slutty clubwear. Not that we don’t love plunging necklines and short-short skirts, but modesty can be uniquely attractive in a sea of exposed body parts.
This dress, fashioned after the style of Victorian nannies, features a satin high collar atop a shaped bodice, ruched voile sleeves with trailing netting, and a voile overskirt that ties at the sides of the waist. Very fetching, and absolutely perfect to accessorize with a heart chatelaine(which we happened to profile last week.)
