These tops are perfect for layering under corsets, over dresses, or pairing with modern outfits for a subtle gothic touch.

🖤 The Majestical Bolero – Soft Velvet Drama

Looking for a way to cover your upper arms without hiding your outfit? The Majestical Bolero is that perfect finishing touch.

Made from luxurious stretch velvet, this short black jacket features ornate braid trim and a flattering, curved cut that enhances your silhouette.

Lightweight yet warm, it’s the ideal layer for cooler evenings or formal events where you want to add a little extra elegance.

• Soft, comfortable stretch velvet

• Versatile cropped length that works with corsets or dresses

• Adds subtle gothic sophistication to any outfit

• Perfect for weddings, formal events, or casual wear with jeans

Whether you’re completing a corset ensemble or dressing up a simple top, the Majestical Bolero brings just the right mix of romance and practicality.

🌹 The Black Satin Chemise – Classic Victorian Elegance

Inspired by 19th-century fashion, the Black Satin Chemise is designed to sit gracefully off the shoulder, highlighting the neckline and décolletage for an elegant, feminine finish.

Available in both short and long sleeve versions, this versatile top adapts to any season:

• Short sleeve: with lace-trimmed puff sleeves for warmer days and a traditional Victorian feel.

• Long sleeve: ideal for cooler temperatures, offering coverage without losing its period charm.

The chemise is loose through the waist for comfort and ease of wear - perfect under corsets, paired with skirts, or even styled with contemporary clothing for a soft gothic look.

• Elegant off-shoulder design

• Comfortable, flowing fit

• Lightweight satin with lace detailing

• Designed to complement corsets and bustle skirts
