Ooooh, you guys are in for a treat today! This is a review of the Vampire Dress from ExoUmbra.
ExoUmbra is a gothic clothing company run by the darling Moose. She has a real passion for making items that suit a broad range of body types, and it shows in her work. Something that I personally appreciate about ExoUmbra is how simple the pieces are. I love clean silhouettes.
Because the sizing is so generous (every piece is meant to be easy to move around in) the Vampire Dress was absolutely perfect for my growing baby bump. And with the brutal heat and humidity we have been experiencing in London this summer, I've pretty much been living in it since it arrived. The Vampire Dress is constructed from upcycled cotton unisex t-shirts, so it's breathable and effortless to wear. You can just throw it on and off you go.
The standard version of this dress does not have a moon decal on the back, but I cheekily asked Moose to paint one on. So many of her pieces feature hand-painted symbols - I couldn't resist! While the neckline of the original t-shirt used to make the dress has been left intact, the sleeves were cropped and neatly hemmed to the shoulders. I imagine it'll be a snap to layer other items over or under the dress come autumn and winter, like the Huntress Crop hoodie that I may or may not have been eyeballing for, like, two weeks now...
The skirt features an asymmetrical dagger hem that goes above the knee in some areas and sweeps the floor in others. This will vary depending on your height. I'm only a piddly 5'2'' so it's not difficult for something to become a maxi dress on me! The result is a cheeky flash of leg here and there without being too revealing, which is perfect for someone like me who doesn't tend to show lots of skin.
ExoUmbra sizing goes from small to 5XL! No one need be left out of the witchy fun. I can't even tell you how many more things I want from this shop. Dramatic but not fussy. Comfy but not frumpy. Modest but not matronly. Maternity friendly. Plus size inclusive. Fair pricing. Excellent customer service. Open to custom orders. You can't really ask for more.
