The cowl neckline—directly inspired by an original 1950s black lace dress from Katie’s private collection—drapes beautifully against the body, capturing that unmistakable old Hollywood allure. Faux shoulder ties add a whisper of vintage charm, while added bra-strap holders allow you to wear the neckline on the shoulder or slightly wider, depending on your mood.

Because lace deserves to shine, this edition is pocket-free to maintain a perfectly smooth line. A self-tie black satin belt cinches the waist for that timeless hourglass shape, floating above the full circle skirt that sways with every step.

Versatile and unapologetically glamorous, the Black Lace Edwina can be styled in countless ways: worn alone over lingerie for an unforgettable burlesque-inspired look, layered over our sheer petticoat for just a tease of what’s beneath, or paired with opaque foundations for a more demure, authentically mid-century silhouette. Made from 100% polyester lace, it offers beautiful drape, easy care, and just enough give for a figure-skimming yet forgiving fit.

Whether you’re dressing for winter soirées, dramatic evenings, or simply indulging your love of lace and vintage fashion, this is a piece that invites you to revel in your most glamorous self.

Lucy ★★★★★

The lace has this lovely weight to it that drapes beautifully instead of clinging awkwardly, and the 1950s cut makes me feel like I stepped out of a noir film. I wore it to a dinner party and got stopped three times by strangers asking where I found it.

Stella P. ★★★★★

The fit hugs every curve just right, and the lace feels delicate but sturdy enough to dance in all night. I wore it to a cocktail party and got stopped three times—that dark romance vibe is exactly what the photos promised.

Samuel ★★★★★

The lace overlay has that true 1950s structure without feeling stiff, and the fit skims my waist exactly like the photos hinted. I wore it to a dinner party and got stopped twice by strangers asking where it was from.
