Gothic Charm School: pretty things

Yes, I would like a copy of this in my skirt collection, thank you.

I really like that skirt. I want one like it in a longer length. (That noise of grinding teeth you may be hearing will be coming from the Infamous BlueJay, who DESPISES distressed and unfinshed edges on garments.)

azybats said: What sort of patterns do you use to make your skirts? They look so lovely over petticoats.

I use this skirt tutorial! I haven’t yet made the actual double-layered bustle skirt that the tutorial is for (because I’m lazy/always short on time for sewing), but I do use the basic skirt pattern from it.

The Skirt Tigris, from Somnia Romantica on Etsy. Classic goth skirt, anyone? So lush and pretty!

If any of you folks have old t-shirts of Gothy Interest that you don’t want any more, feel free to send them to the Gothic Charm School P.O. Box. :D

(Why yes, I love turning them into skirt appliques, because I am ridiculous and easily amused.)

One of the benefits of being a (slightly scatterbrained) packrat? Sometimes you already have the supplies for a project, you just need to unearth them! I knew I had some gothy-goth t-shirts that would be perfect for skirt appliques. (They were going to be given scooped necklines and lace trim, but since I never got around to that part, skirt appliques!)

Wear on Earth do you shop?! Everything you wear is awesome!

Aww, thank you! I do a lot of shopping at thrift stores, Etsy, eBay, and Retroscope Fashions (for basic skirts to alter). But I’ve assembled my wardrobe over years and years; this is my hobby, and a relaxing evening for me is watching a movie while I tailor or alter my latest shopping find.

flippin’ LOVE this outfit!!!!! That Dracula skirt is amazing, may I ask where you got it?

Thank you! The skirt is one of Retroscope Fashion’s Gothic Lolita Corset skirts, with a center applique made from this t-shirt I found on Etsy. I’m currently (not-so) idly looking for a good Vampire Lestat-themed t-shirt for another skirt project. (I’d love to find a shirt that has the fictitious Lestat album cover from the Queen of the Damned movie, but I don’t know if they exist.)

Ooooh, I should look for a good Beetlejuice t-shirt, too. Eventually.

Isn’t this pretty? I would wear it with a black frock coat of some sort. Gorgeous, gorgeous lace.

The skirt. I wants it. The whole outfit is lovely, but the skirt with framed images of creepy dolls? I think I need something like that for this year’s SteamCon, oh yes.

Gorgeous skirts from Atelier Boz. I *should* spend today writing, but now I want to make some new skirts. Via calantheandthenightingale

The Raven Skirt, by Morrigan NYC. It is even more stunning in person. (I have it in the black x silver colorway, and I LOVE it.)

Hello, gothy cliche skirt! I think I need you. Yes. Via draculaclothing:

New Skirts on DraculaClothing

Thing One: I really want a skirt similar to this. Preferably screenprinted with text from Dracula, in a fancy font.

Thing Two: Waitaminute, I don’t have that edition of Dracula! Time to track it down.

I want this skirt. In black, but I still want it.

Make 1872 or 1887 knee-length, and you have my preferred wardrobe style.
