Reveal Your Spirit

Guests are encouraged to embrace darkly elegant attire infused with provocative occult sophistication

Consider these suggestions

Gothic Victorian — Floor-length gowns with lace accents, high collars, and corseted waists, paired with daring cut-outs or sheer panels. Tailored waistcoats, cravats, and frock coats with subtle hints of sensuality, such as unbuttoned shirts. #goth #victorian

Elegant Witch — Flowing robes or capes with sultry slits, adorned with symbolic embroidery or embellishments, worn over dark, well-tailored clothing. #witchy #cottagecore

Dark Romantic — Luxurious fabrics in deep hues, like velvet or silk, fashioned into elegant evening wear featuring plunging necklines, daring backless designs, or sheer accents. Strike a balance between allure and elegance by combining a plunging neckline with a longer hemline or balance a thigh-high slit with a more modest top. #romance

Sophisticated Vampire — Vintage-inspired clothing with a touch of dark glamor and sensual appeal, like velvet blazers with deep V-necks, high-neck blouses with sheer lace, or tailored trousers with side lacing. #vamp #kink

Elevate your ensemble

Jewelry — Opt for statement pieces with mystical or occult motifs, such as crystal pendants, silver talismans, star-shaped earrings, or ornate rings with gemstones. Chokers, especially ones with lace or velvet bands and intricate detailing, can add a touch of sensuality to your attire.

Headpieces — Consider donning headwear that enhances the darkly elegant theme, like embellished hair combs, bejeweled headbands, or even elaborate headdresses featuring feathers, crystals, or lace.

Capes and Shawls — A luxurious cape or shawl, crafted from velvet, lace, or faux fur, can provide an air of mystique while offering a seductive reveal of your attire underneath.

Gloves — Elbow-length gloves in lace, satin, or velvet can add a sophisticated touch to your outfit while hinting at the risqué theme.

Footwear — Choose shoes that reflect the dark elegance of the event, such as lace-up boots, kitten heels, or ornate flats with intricate detailing.

Guidance & Rules

We want you, not your clothes – Should these dress suggestions prove difficult to adhere to, please opt for dark cocktail attire. Your cherished presence holds greater value than your wardrobe.

When in doubt, ask – We have a lot of beautiful clothes in our circle. Don’t assume you have to buy new when you can borrow.

No stiletto heels – To preserve the charm of our historic locations, we kindly request the adornment of wide-heeled footwear, forgoing stilettos and other shoes that may leave an unintended impression on our softwood floors.

Avoid face masks that cover your mouth unless being worn for health reasons – We kindly advise against face coverings as they impede communication and obstruct the enjoyment of refreshments. The dim ambiance may also hinder visibility, placing you in more danger than we like.

Avoid carrying props – Keep both hands free to embrace the night.

No weapons – Weapons of any kind (real or prop) should not be brought to our events.

Accessories help tell a story – What would you wear if you were invited to a vampire’s cocktail party or a gallery opening for witches? Go with that.

Embrace your fleeting beauty – Take chances. You’re only as young as you are today.
