Black lace skitters around this dress in both a lovely fuschia overlay and on its own to princess-puff the arms and let the cleavage peek from behind dark flowers – a coquettish alternative to the ubiquitous (and tiresome) plunge neckline. From Frenchie Stiles.
It’s just a white lace slipdress gussied up with a wrap of pleated black lace, but damn, it falls just so. The rose corsage is a perfect finishing touch. From More Is More.

These cuffs were inspired by the upcoming Tim Burton Alice flick, and suggest the tiers of a very dark teaparty cake. They also come in a mitt length, and in white, too. From Opal Moon Designs.
A slinky, body-hugging starlet gown, if said starlet drank a lot of blood on her way up the food chain. There’s also a couple of shorter, sleeveless sizes if this is just too much gown for you. From Mange La Mode.
