About the Costume

While this costume is not strictly a recycled costume, nor does this blog intend to follow runway fashion, with a few notable exceptions, this dress is being noted because it is an example of how costume designers can take off-the-rack clothing and use it for a costume.

This gown, called “The Vamp,” was designed by Leluxe Clothing Co. (Now Deco Haus) and used to be available in several different colors, but it no longer seems to be available. 

American singer Amanda Palmer wore this black copper design to the 2010 Golden Globes NBC party. She wore the dress without a slip – not that it mattered because, at one point, she took off her underwear and, at another point, unhooked the entire dress, all while on the red carpet.

The same design was purchased for the 2014 episode of Doctor Who, entitled Mummy on the Orient Express, where Jenna Coleman wore it as Clara Oswald.

The copper version of this dress was also purchased for use on Lily Rabe as Nora Montgomery in the 2011 first season of American Horror Story.

Costume Commentary

  1. Here are at least two versions of the “Charleston” dress (See link below) on extras in the club scene of the first “Babylon Berlin” episode – They are used with rather more modestly cut, periodfitting slips than advertised by leluxe clothing. http://leluxeclothing.com/1920s-beaded-gowns-c-7/the-charleston-turquoise-gold-p-424.html

    They also got a “Ritz Gown” for that scene. Very probably more. Wonder, if they got a pro-discount? http://leluxeclothing.com/1920s-beaded-gowns-c-7/the-ritz-gown-black-p-377.html

  2. I can’t believe I didn’t see this before!! I’ve had this cover in my collection for a year and only now I see, it is this very same dress!

    It would be “The Cavendon Women”, by Barbara Taylor Bradford (published 2015)

  3. LeLuxe doesn’t design or produce these gowns, they are made overseas, and resold by LeLux. This is not a reputable company, the owners have a screw or two loose, very poor customer service. And good luck getting your money back when the dress disappoints, take my word for it!
