This winter the gothic look is being replaced with, well, a gothic look, but with a hint of Victoriana femininity. Lace is gracing every catwalk from Prada to Alexander McQueen dispelling its previous prim-and-proper image and creating a new sexy, sultry and seductive alter-ego. Perfect for a high-fashion, luxurious and ultra feminine look whether you’re going head to toe on a night out or simply accessorising for the office, lace screams fashionista yet still retains an innocent and girly edge.

I was literally giddy with excitement when I came across this beautiful silk dress from designer du jour Rebecca Taylor. Graceful, elegant, and fashion-forward, it is guaranteed to instantly update your winter wardrobe.

With delicate sleeves, waist-nipping belt, stunning lace detailing (which continues to the back), and figure-flattering cut and length, it’s a sure-fire wardrobe staple and versatile enough to pair with flats or heels, making it easy to transform your look from day to evening.

Be sure to snap it up from Net-a-Porter before it’s too late!
