Marlowe Black

The Marlowe Black isn’t just a dress — it’s a weapon. Cut from heirloom lace with a body-hugging silhouette, she walks the line between sultry and untouchable. The boned corset bodice cinches you in like an hourglass, while ruffled edges and a high side slit do all the talking. She’s not for the faint of heart — she’s for the ones who want the room to stop spinning the second they walk in. Think midnight desert heat, whiskey on the rocks, the kind of dress you’ll regret not buying when she’s gone.

Add Fringe

Want the full Marlowe effect? Add fringe to the skirt for that classic swish and movement the Marlowe is known for. It transforms the Black Marlowe from sleek and smoldering to timeless and iconic.

PLEASE READ BEFORE ORDERING:

Note on Fabric: Each Marlowe Midi in black is cut from hand-dyed antique lace, meaning no two are ever the same. Every dress carries its own shade, patina, and character — a one-of-a-kind piece that wears its history proudly. The beauty is in the variation.

How to Choose Your Size:

For the Marlowe, we recommend sizing based on your hips. The corset-style top has 1–2 inches of adjustability thanks to the lace-up back, which gives you some flexibility through the bust and waist. Since the skirt is more fitted and has less give, your hip measurement will ensure the best overall fit.
