Inspired by BBC2′s new costume drama, ‘Desperate Romantics‘, The Daily Telegraph featured an article detailing the delights of Pre-Raphaelite style, involving “swirling robes, chiffon draperies, velvet capes, serpent jewellery, gilded cuffs, metallic sashes, ornamental belts… all the ingredients needed to set the hopeless romantic’s fashion heart ablaze are now laid before us, like the treasures of Nefertiti.”

Our full-length chiffon gown with its delicate beaded bodice encapsulates the look perfectly, and can be made to order either in black or white. The dress is available in size 10 to 20, and is £495. Our plunge top in sheer black, white or lace, with its medieval batwing sleeves is ideal for wearing under corsets, and with long untamed hair and our satin and chiffon trained full skirt, you can easily encapsulate the Lady of Shalott’s mystical chic. As ever, all these items are available on our website, and from our Lulu and Lush boutique in London.
