If you’re on the hunt for a beautiful tiered midi dress that looks like it’s from The Vampire’s Wife, you’re in luck. I’ve found 12 similar dresses that would pass as the real deal, without the designer price tag. I’ve scoured the high street for cheaper alternatives and managed to find some gems from Aspiga, WYSE London, Mint Velvet, Finery London and many more so you can get the look and feel of The Vampire’s Wife on that all important budget.

The Vampire’s Wife are known for their romantic dramatic dresses; think gothic drama meets vintage prairie. The look is achieved with puff shoulders, balloon sleeves, ruffled trims, and most importantly, the tiered ruffle finish. I’ve been obsessed with the cult brand ever since the dress started doing the rounds on my social media and haven’t forgot about it since. When you have the likes of Kate Middleton and Kate Moss agreeing on a dress, you know it’s a good one.

The real deal will set you back anywhere between £750 to £2,500, so it’s safe to say that it’s well and truly out of my price range. I will however be purchasing a lookalike that looks the same and costs a fraction of the price and boy, have I found some gems.
