5 out of 5 starsI cannot stress how amazing the quality of this waistcoat is. Its construction is flawless and I have a hard timing finding any faults, and even better, its an XL! Im a large woman so I have a hard time finding lacy and dainty clothing wear for my 6’ 175 lb self. But this fits the bill and is nothing short of stunning. Will absolutely be returning!

5 out of 5 starsThis dress is stunning. I purchased it for my wedding and the quality is incredible. The lace falls beautifully, the size is perfect and it actually is even more beautiful IRL than on the photo!

5 out of 5 starsThe item was beautiful. It was very well made. I had to return it because the sleeves were too big but everything else about the dress was absolutely beautiful.

I love searching for beautiful (vintage) laces. Good and special materials form an important cornerstone of my designs.

Having my workspace on the 10th floor I can work and photograph in daylight and there is always a lovely view!

Somnia Romantica
Somnia Romantica is a fashion line by dutch designer Marjolein Turin.
Gowns and short dresses form the core of the designs. Added to that are pieces that can be combined with it like cardigans, shrugs, lace tops and over skirts. The pieces are often based on authentic historical patterns, adjusted to own design and interpretation.
Inspiration comes from history, nature, myths and dreams.
Materials form an important part of the designs. Especially beautiful laces and trims both new and vintage are sourced from everywhere in The Netherlands and all around the world
The aim of Somnia Romantica is to bring nostalgia and (dark-) romantic dream scapes into modern society.
The name was easily decided. Somnia means 'dream' in Latin. It's also been translated as 'moonlight'. Both reflect the feel of the brand perfectly.
If you have any question, feel free to contact me!

Please be aware that your country's customs may impose an import duty! Somnia Romantica is not responsible for these costs and is obliged by law to write the price of an item on the package.
Shipping
I ship out once a week.
Shipping time are on average:

World other: 2-4 weeks
Sometimes there are delays, especially during the pandemic or around the holiday season. If you need an item before a specific a certain date, please ask if it's possible. You can also use the shipping upgrade option, which I will implement in 2021.
When the ordered piece doesn't arrive within this time frame, it is probably at your local postal office for pick up.
It's also possible that the package is still at customs. Sometimes they're slow with clearing a package.
Somnia Romantica won't give refunds for packages getting delayed, as this is out of my hands, unless the customer gave a specific time frame and I gave a guarantee that it would arrive in time.
