Playful gothic charm meets scholarly refinement - a dark academia dress that turns pinstripes and ruffles into a statement.

The Dark in Love Vintage Striped Ruffle-Tier Dress is a dark academia essential that blends vintage-inspired tailoring with gothic personality. Classic vertical pinstripes elongate the silhouette beautifully, while dramatic tiered ruffles add a flirtatious, Victorian-punk finish that is unmistakably Dark in Love. The wide V-neckline is framed with an oversized bow and subtle cross embellishment - the kind of considered detail that makes this dark academia dress a wardrobe centrepiece rather than an afterthought. The fitted bodice enhances the waist, and the layered skirt creates movement and volume with every step. Crafted from breathable cotton for all-day comfort. Available up to UK 22 (4XL).
