Dress Code

Gothic Glamour

Please wear whatever makes you feel powerful, dramatic, beautiful, strange, elegant, or fully yourself.

The Palette

Black, plum, silver, deep berry, charcoal — lace, velvet, satin, tailoring, dark florals, romantic layers.

Suggested Vibes
Vampire widow Romantic villain Dramatic academic Soft goth dinner guest Dark art museum date Your most powerful self

No pressure to buy anything new. The aim is not perfection — it is atmosphere.

The Order of Events

The Evening

Arrival

Drinks, hugs, outfit appreciation, settling in.

Dinner

Private dining in The Edward Walters Suite.

The Birthday Moment

Cake, toast, photos — emotional speeches only if people behave.

After Dinner

Drinks, slow socialising, gothic glamour, no forced chaos.

Food & Drink

The Meal

The plan is The Matcham Menu at The Cut & Craft, with final choices confirmed closer to the date.

Atlas will be asking the venue whether the raspberry mousse can become sticky toffee pudding — because sticky toffee pudding is spiritually correct.

Closer to the date, you’ll be asked to send:

The Useful Part

Good to Know

Payment

Meal cost will likely be collected in advance so the bill is settled before the night. Drinks are paid for separately on the day.

Drinks

Order and pay for your own drinks at the venue — the wine list is yours to explore.

Dietary Requirements

Send any allergies, intolerances, or dietary requirements with your RSVP.

Accessibility

Include any accessibility needs with your RSVP so Atlas can plan properly.

Getting Ready

There may be a hotel or getting-ready space beforehand — arrive early, dress together, and make an occasion of it. Mention your interest when you RSVP.

On Gifts

Gifts are not required. Your presence, dressed dramatically, is the gift.

But if you insist on asking — Atlas likes handmade things, weird old objects, strange little treasures, meaningful second-hand finds, anything Lestat-coded, and gothic, romantic, dramatic, or deeply specific items.
