I wore this to a metal music show in April 2017. I was lucky enough to find a large set of Dark Night Guardian items in my preferred colorway (charcoal) the previous winter! The bodice on the dress is just a tiny bit too long for me but the corset belt helps to hide the bunching. The lion head necklace is a gift from my sister. It was a challenge to find an outfit I could wear it with because it’s large and heavy and lions don’t fit neatly into sweet coordinates, but I think it fits into this one quite nicely since the dress features lions. The heart bag adds a slightly sweet, cute touch to what might otherwise have been categorized as gothic.
