“It was long before the terror of recent events subsided; and to this hour the image of Carmilla returns to memory with ambiguous alternations—sometimes the playful, languid, beautiful girl; sometimes the writhing fiend I saw in the ruined church; and often from a reverie I have started, fancying I heard the light step of Carmilla at the drawing room door.”

I didn’t exactly come up with a costume, instead just dressed like a literary reference no one would just guess. Still, it’s an excuse to wear this nightgown/dressing gown pairing I found on Etsy with a black wig and my Osteal Chesire moon necklace.
