5 out of 5 starsStellar. I was worried it’d be a bit too sheer, but found it has pretty decent coverage! The strap on the back is a bit loose, and the buckle on the leather choker likes to unclasp, but otherwise the top is a hit.

5 out of 5 starsThis was an amazing experience, it's my first time buying handmade clothing and I was so pleasantly surprised by just how lovely the dress was in person too! It looks just like the picture, but feels even better, you can really tell it was made with care, talent and quality. The seller was also lovely and shipping and delivery was really quick. I'll definitely be buying other items in the future!

4 out of 5 starsIt is a very beautiful shirt! The little details and such on it make it even better. I will state that the shirt is a bit see through which may not be visible in the photos shown, so you might want to wear something with it or under it, and if you have a large bra size it might fit differently than shown, but the shop owner was very kind and even did an adjustment on it for me before sending! I’m quite happy with it

Quality and quirkiness!
Based in London, UK, The Last Kult likes to bring a little bit of quirky dark glamour to the East End! I'm an independent designer and manufacturer of alternative clothing and accessories for the gothic subcultures.
My design influences are primarily from the first three decades of the 20th century, often with a heavy dose of Art Nouveau which has been a life long obsession. Mix into the style blender inspiration from cutting edge avant garde modern fashion, costume design and gothic/ punk sensibilities, and you get a sense of the HoH aesthetic.
I've been designing and making clothing and accessories for a decade now, and spent time training with a London tailor, doing alterations and making custom made clothing for clients.
Now I love to bring those classic tailoring skills and apply them to the alternative clothing designs I create, fusing high quality with subcultural style.

Accepted payment methods
Returns and exchanges
If you wish to return an item for whatever reason, please contact us within 14 days after delivery. Once you've let us know, you will need to return the item within 14 days to receive your refund. Refunds are dependent on the return of goods in the condition that they were despatched in, ie, unworn and with tags still attached.
Once we receive the returned item, we'll refund the price you paid for the item, plus the original postage. You will need to pay return shipping by a trackable method.
In the unlikely event that I have shipped the wrong item, I will refund your entire purchase and shipping in both directions. Please contact me immediately for instructions.
DAMAGES
Whilst we take every care to make sure that your purchase is well packed to ensure it's safe arrival, in the rare instance where your item is damaged in the post please inform us immediately. We are happy to replace or refund damaged items.
When processing claims for damaged goods we will require photos of both the damage to the parcel and of the item inside, so that we can begin insurance claims with Royal Mail.
CUSTOM ORDERS
Due to the personalised nature of custom orders (made to measure and/or custom designed) we cannot accept returns for these items. As such we highly recommend, in the case of made to measure, that when supplying personal measurements, that these be as accurate as possible, and do not rely on using your usual clothing size that you are familiar with. If you're not sure how to take your own measurements please let us know, as we'd be happy to help you so you get a perfect fit.
Payment
Shipping
All other countries are via Royal Mail's International Tracked and Insured service.
All our shipping comes with tracking and insurance as standard.
Most of our items are usually shipped on the next working day after payment is received, except in the case of Made To Order, where the processing time is shown on the listing.
If for any reason there is a delay in shipping your item I will let you know as soon as possible.
CUSTOMS CHARGES
For buyers outside of the UK/ EU, please remember that you might be charged Customs/ Duty tax on your purchase when it enters your country, and that you are responsible for payment of these taxes. Please check your country's import policies if you are not already familiar with them before buying.
REDELIVERY
When making your purchase please make sure you provide your full, correct address. We reserve the right to charge postage for redelivery outside of the UK for any packages returned to us because of incorrect delivery addresses supplied by the buyer, or because they haven't been collected from your local post office.
If the mistake is our fault though you will not be charged for redelivery.
Additional policies and FAQs
I try my best to treat my buyers the same as I'd expect to be treated as a customer.
