Haunted Halloween Collection - Part 1

It was a dark and spooky night...

My headlights flashed back at me, reflected in a mirror through the open door. This must be the place. The Cherry Velvet Studio and warehouse. I knew I could have just looked on their website but I wanted to see the dresses in the flesh, so to speak.

I stepped through the door and found myself surrounded by dresses. Dresses with frightening and macabre scenes…

Norma – Celestial Bats

Look to the heavens for dark, winged shapes flying through the dusky night sky...

Celestial Bats is a delightful Halloween inspired print that's part of the coveted De La Luna collection by fabric designer Tula Pink. Magenta pink bats glide through moons and stars in an inky purple sky. Not just for Halloween, it's pretty enough to be worn year 'round.

Norma - Haunted Manor

"Welcome, foolish mortals... "

A full moon lights the way for a spine-tingling tour through an eerie haunted estate. Ravens watch, bats glide, staircases creak, candlelight flickers; all in a striking grey, black and white. The resident apparition is dying to meet you...

By this time I was feeling rather spooked and really needed a drink. When I gazed into the next mirror I could not believe what I saw. Was it a bar?

Norma - Unhappy Hour

This frightfully fun fabric features a gallery of ghouls including witches, vampires, and werewolves. Potions bubble and spiders spin their webs as a cast of creepy characters carouse around Frankenstein’s bar. Uncommon shades of indigo, purple, black, dark red, and yellow pop in spine-tingling harmony. This whimsical monster mash-up is a treat – or is it a trick?

The next Halloween dress will have cap sleeves, an open portrait collar, pockets, and an A-line skirt. We've named this one Toxique Ephemera...

Stay tuned for the second preview of more Halloween vintage inspired dresses; coming throughout the season...
