The Lydia is the ultimate hot-goth-girl-summer dress. Inspired by a vintage 1970s nightgown from Yasaman’s personal collection, it’s crafted from ultra-soft, high-stretch fabric designed to cinch in all the right places. Effortlessly versatile, Lydia can be styled up for evenings out or worn as-is for everyday wear.

NOTE: The lace detailing on the front is not perfectly mirrored. Due to the nature of the lace, perfect symmetry would result in unnecessary material waste.

This dress is intentionally fitted. If you are between sizes, we recommend sizing up even with stretch.

  • Picture 1 & 2: Yasaman is wearing a S. Measurements: bust 36" & waist 29", height 5'6
  • Picture 3 & 4: Lydia is wearing a 5X. Measurements: bust 55" & waist 51", height: 5'7
  • Picture 5 & 6: Gabby is wearing a S. Measurements: bust 37" & waist 28", height 5'5

Fits like a glove

So satisfied with this dress ! The sizing is perfect, the pockets !!! I have been waiting for this dress to restock for a while and i am not disappointed. It feels very lightweight on. This dress is in my opinion, the best fort the summer. And it's absolutely wonderful in terms of aesthetic and quality. Thank you blackwood castle, i feel like a goth queen in it 🖤

New favourite

The details make this one special to me - a simple black dress is an elegant staple, but with the really flattering lace placement, the v waistline, pockets that fit my Pixel 6, the side slit, thick enough straps for a regular bra, buttery soft fabric, and dramatic silhouette as the skirt moves when you walk. I normally prefer natural fibres but the design and finger feel of this dress don't bother me at all. Feels luxurious actually. Stretchy over my chest area is just what I needed. Was debating getting a M but the L worked well. True to size as per the chart. Can be dressed up or down. What's not to love?

Buy this dress it’s wonderful

Love this dress. I feel so pretty when I wear it. There are some spots that need to be sewed on better but that is my only complaint

The burgundy is to die for

I absolutely love the silhouette of this dress the simplicity of it yet it’s elegant. It can be done up or worn simply with flip-flops and I love that option the fact that This has deep pockets is phenomenal! I love that I can do a little twirl and it has a nice sway Of fabric! And it is extremely comfortable!

Stunning and flattering

I will be wearing this for a black tie wedding this weekend, and for many other occasions (date nights, birthdays, just to be haunting and hot). The craftsmanship is amazing and the fit is so flattering.

Lydia dress

Wow! I already knew the quality would be great, but the dress right out of the package felt luxurious. It’s thick without being overly heavy. I went with a large size as recommended since I have the Edith skirt in a large and that fits well. It feels like I’ll be able to wear it even with some weight fluctuations without it becoming too big. I cannot wait to wear this out and about.

SO STUNNING!!!!

So I bought the red version of this dress first and I was so in love I got it in black!!! Absolutely love love love this dress!! But I wanted to write this review to help girlies trying to figure their size. So I'm 5'11 with an hour glass shape. Thicker in the muscular sense. My breasts measure at 43 and it said if you're between two sizes then to get the bigger size. So I got the red in XXL. And it fits and is gorgeous, but I thought it would be better in one size down. So for this dress I got XL and i think it fits WAY better and wish I had gotten the red in this size. Ladies, this fabric is VERY comfortable and forgiving. I would not recommend going up if you want the fitted look especially on your breasts. Especially because the v of the dress is too low I think for me on my red xxl. The black xl is just right!!! Such luxurious fabric!!! This dress will definitely make you feel STUNNING!!! I cannot recommend it enough!!!
