The Witching Hour

Last year, I pledged my support for British lingerie brand Kiss Me Deadly in their Kickstarter campaign to create more fabulous garments for femme fatales.  I ordered the 'Leonie' nightgown and robe, and to my delight they arrived a few days ago.  Cue an immediate photoshoot, utilising the quite David Lynch lighting from the TV, a bruised apple and a few dead plants.  A quick updo, inspired by the cover of an old copy of 'Jane Eyre', and we were set.  Friday nights are fun, Chez Nous!

Nightgown: 'Leonie', from Kiss Me Deadly
Robe: 'Leonie', from Kiss Me Deadly
Hair flower: Asos
Lippy: Calvin Klein

I'm very pleased with the set.  The nightgown is cut on the bias, so I went for a size medium and was pleasantly surprised that it is fairly long on me.  It's a very flattering cut, which I don't think I've quite conveyed with these photos - I honestly feel like a slim, statuesque siren in it.  The fabric is lovely, it's that gorgeous deep black that has an almost blue tinge in low light.  The robe has batwing sleeves and covered buttons at the wrist, for a 1930's touch (of which I'm most appreciative).  It really is lovely.  If it's a little too gothic for you, they also have the 'Grace' set, with more ruffles and girlyness.  I do wear quite a lot of black so I'm not adverse to it.  Do you like black nightwear, or are you all puppy-print pyjamas?

    I love classic and elegant nightwear, satin and silk AND black as well, although I surprisingly don't have any nightwear in black. I think I need to check out their products since I'd love a longer nightgown and/or robe to wear. My boyfriend might like it more than those wornout pajamas where more than half of the buttons have come off :D

    Oh, that's a lovely set. You can't beat good nightwear (says she, who lives alternating two sets of Monsoon flannel pyjamas - satin would get wrecked by tiny kitten-claws).

      Monsoon nightwear's great though, and one has to be practical! X

    Great photos! And I really like your dressing table. I've been looking around for something similar but so far have not found anything I like that is also in my budget.

      Thanks, the dresser was from a community recycling place so was less than £20 I think! X

    A matching pair, how fabulous! Nightwear seems so decadent and luxurious. I feel like you need to take a trip on the orient express and pack this set, it would fit right in.

    It's got to be glamorous nightwear every time for me, I can't stand onesies or anything with a girlie, cutesy print on it. I'm a woman, not a 12 year old girl! I love the look of this set and that last photo shows off the shape of the sleeves much better than the KMD photos. Not sure I could justify buying one though as I already have a black satin robe and KMD's sheer Elle robe. xx

      I have it in black but really wished I'd got the red one from several years ago. That colour was particularly stunning! xx

    Wonderfully moody and magnificent! Your updo looks fantastic and really suits you and how sexy is the back of that nightie?
    I don't wear anything in bed but can't resist a vintage nightie. Wait till you see the one I bought yesterday! xxx

    Well don't you look all sexy and severe! I feel like you're about to slap me - in a good way. :P
    Fantastic details on that nightgown and robe set. I love the cutout detail on the back of the nightgown, and the sleeves with the covered buttons are such a dramatic shape. I don't know if I could resist wearing that out of the house!

      It really could be worn to a party couldn't it? Maybe I'll think of an occasion! Xx

    Stunning! I am so jealous, that's just beautiful. I'm totally up for the slightly gothic drama look. My birthday is coming up, might drop hints!

    Awesome photo shoot. You carry this colour off so well, which isn't easy. It's very goth, yet elegant too if that makes sense. I bought some silk pyjamas for my recent holiday feature and couldn't quite go the whole hog to pose like this in them. You look sensational x
