Cthulhu’s Closet: Beserk Cheerleader Dress

In my interest to look less like a Tall Eastern European Man I have been acquiring more dresses and “shapely garments”. This is one such dress – the Tera Angel Cheerleader dress from Beserk Clothing. Beserk are an Aussie label designed and masterminded by the talented Fleur. I like how Fleur’s designs fit a similiar market to labels like Tripp NYC, Lip Service and Heavy Red, but they’re distinct enough that you can

Beserk had a clearance sale recently and I’m a bit of a sucker for wings (yes, I’m such a goff girl) so I thought I’d try this Tera Angel Cheerleader dress. It’s winter now, and about 4 degrees outside, so there’s no way in Hades you’re seeing my skinny, white, goose-pimply legs. It still looks awesome over some tight pants or leggings.

Urgh, it’s nigh impossible to get good photographs at the moment, thank you weather. But here are some more bad ones:

I am wearing:

• Tera Angel Cheerleader Dress (Beserk Clothing)
• Black stretch jeans (Glassons)
• Black Military Jacket (Tripp NYC)
• Wedge Boots (Jeffrey Campbell, who else? I was NOT lyring when I said I wear only two pairs of shoes)
• Dragon necklace (gift from husband)
• Skull armwarmers (MTCoffinz – don’t forget there’s 10% off at MTCoffinz till the end of August when you use the discount code STEFFMETAL)
• Celtic cross (from a terrible trendy surf shop in my hometown)
• Big, chunky ass metal ring, (21st gift) and my saxon wedding ring.

The dress is well-made, of a nice cotton / spandex blend, so it’s got a stretch to it without feeling like it’s loosing shape. I like the extra-thick hem, and the way the boatneck collar and the shape of the angel wings make longer necklaces look great. Also, I love the angel design – it looks seriously badass. I will be wanting more Beserk stuff, for sure!

I am quite in love with this jacket, which I think works well with this length of dress. With a dress like this you really want to wear a jacket that’s as-long-as or shorter than the dress itself. The key to layering a dress like this is to make sure the pants you wear underneath don’t have buttons, studs or pockets that make the material bunch and lump.

And because you can’t see it in the pictures, here’s a closeup of the design:

Wicked, aye?
