Fleabag Is Over, But At Least You Can Now Dress Like Her

Try the sell-out jumpsuit for your Halloween costume this year

Updated on23 10 2019

Now we've had some time to come to terms with Fleabag being officially over, the only thing to do in order to fill the giant void in your life is to go back and watch all the episodes again. Or, if you're short on time, you could just start dressing like the titular character, played by Phoebe Waller-Bridge. And, what a better time to do it than All Hallows Eve? Arguably, our nameless heroine is more dark, mysterious and scary than most halloween icons, but with a touch of feminine spice. Top tip: messy mascara streaks are essential for the costume.

Apparently, when Fleabag last aired that's what a lot of people were already doing; trying to dress like her. Online fashion search engine Lyst announced that, since the final episode of Fleabag, in which she wears a red Reformation dress, it has seen a 38 per cent increase in searches for red dresses. Likewise, the black Topshop jumpsuit Waller-Bridge wore in the very first episode of season two. John Lewis have now released their retail report, where they mentioned the sales of black jumpsuits jumped by two thirds, coining it 'The Fleabag Effect'. With all the commotion the red dress is no longer available, but we've found a great alternative for you.

BUY NOW: Faithfull Ari floral midi dress, £109.50

BUY: LOVE Black Wide Leg Jumpsuit, £38

Good news - you can still buy the jumpsuit. Designed by Love, which you may recognise as being one of the brands available at Topshop, it sold out within hours. Now, it's back in stock and is only £38. With a plunging neckline and cut-out back detail, the jumpsuit had to be re-ordered in bulk due to popular demand. Teri Sallas, who founded Love with her husband in 2003, told The Guardian: 'At first we were thinking, ‘hang on, what’s going on?’ and then we managed to locate [why it was selling so fast]. It’s fantastic for us. Luckily we just had a delivery of that cloth and because everything is made in north London it is quicker to get things done.'

Don't forget, if it's not working out dressing as Fleabag, you could always try Villanelle's to die-for looks...
