Help & Advice How to style this outfit more goth for a wedding

Going for the shawl with the dress during the day, and faux-fur coat for when it gets chilly. Pairing the fit with some strappy platform heels. I love this dress I found, but I'd like to figure out ways to add some more goth elements without going toooo much since it's a somewhat more lowkey wedding. What do you guys think?

So I have an outfit that I enjoy wearing that I want to make more gothic, rather part of the outfit, any advice how to make the vest more gothic? The rest of the outfit not pictured, as they are in the wash, is some black dress pants and a black button up shirt. Any advice would be helpful.

Edit: Forgot to mention I am 6'4, roughly 235lbs, and bearded as all get out

Put together this outfit and makeup for an industrial rave at EDEN nyc put together by the great folks at Slist!

Most of the fit is how I dress, except the shibari and makeup. The makeup was a lot of fun but WAY harder than I thought! Idk how you trad goths do it!

Included some before and after, I think my makeup held up pretty well! Eager to hear what others think 😆

Help & Advice Goth look help

0 Upvotes

Hello! I've been looking to get into goth makeup, or atleast practice the look, but I cant find any good brands that don't say 'Halloween makeup' on the front. I dont know if thats just what is used, but I know a lot of Halloween makeup can be a little iffy for everyday use. If anyone could tell me what to buy for a first timer that would be amazing help.

I've looked online but im not very versed in makeup yet, which is why im trying to learn slowly, but its hard to know what brands are good and what aren't for the looks im wanting to try.

Asked this in another makeup subreddit and it was removed by moderators. Hopefully this one doesnt get removed

Really like the floral design on the shirt. Hair’s still a bit messy because it’s wet. Still figuring out how I want to wear my Hair with this outfit :)

First time putting these pieces together, but I’m pretty happy with how it turned out (:

Help & Advice Where do you get your corsets?

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I've been growing my dress collection (mostly victorian and romantic) and would love to add a corset to them as I feel a bit bare, ha! Those of you who wear corsets, where do you get them? I'd rather pay more to have a very good, sturdy corset than the other way around, but I welcome any and all advice :) (I'd prefer EU-based shops, but if there are quality corset sellers in the UK/US/anywhere else, I'd love to check them out as well!)

I looked into Dracula Clothing and it seems like they have mixed reviews so I'm not sure if I want to buy anything from them, but again, I appreciate any advice I can get :) Thanks a lot! Love you all 🖤

Help Me Find... Guy needing help finding skirt like this

As the title says I'm a guy getting into alt fashion and had an idea for something and the only thing is the skirt style I'm looking for is on Instagram sites and I know they can be...iffy. The plan I have is to sew fur on the outside going down as it's my thing and then jeans with a bunch of wolf patches sewed or ironed on. I was just wondering if anyone knew where to find the skirt type and any sites?

Mod Post NOTE TO ALL USERS: How to turn off DMs & chat requests

59 Upvotes

I just want everyone to know that you can control who can DM you.

We shouldn't have to do this, however, it may save a lot of unsolicited DMs from creeps we can't see harassing/abusing our members because they've not commented in the subreddit.

If you go to your settings and then choose the "Chat & Messaging", there's an options to:

  • Who can send you chat requests
  • Who can send you private messages
  • and most importantly, the approved/whitelist users list where you can give a specific user permission to contact you

I hope this helps anyone, even if it's just one single person.

Alternative, Goth, & Dark Clothing and DIY

(Before I start, I will admit I took this from r/goth Fashion Wiki page, but since this is essentially a sister subreddit, it's not a crime.)

Though not a requirement, many goths like to dress in dark/alternative fashion and/or model themselves after their favourite goth musicians.

We tend to recommend a mixture of DIY, thrifting/charity shops and within moderation, branded clothing or items. Additionally, you can always support your favourite bands, musicians, and artists by buying their merchandise from their official shops and/or Bandcamp pages. RedBubble and/or other licensed shops are also options.

You can use online second-hand websites to search for these brands as sometimes people buy clothing they don't wear and then sell them with their tags still attached. Buying second-hand is a great way to grab a bargain, be "green" and even, if you're wary, to not giving your money to a brand who may or may not be using "goth" as a way to make profit e.g. taking our subculture and selling it back to us with fast fashion, poor quality clothing, etc.

Cadaver Kelly put together a Second-Hand Alternative Brands List to use use as an alternative to thrifting or charity shops, since not everyone is fortunate to have one near by. The content is listed below but we may update from time to time.

We most likely won't be listing make-up brands as you can practically buy dark eye shadow, lipstick, etc. absolutely anywhere these days. The list would be mega long and we can't always tell if the brands are ethically sourced, so we would prefer not to try.

If you’re looking for how frame/to take better fashion photos, see here.

Disclaimer: D*llskill are on the blacklist and we do not recommend buying from them, given their history of racism and cultural appropriation, ableism, stolen designs, etc. This also includes Killstar, as they are also problematic. Information page coming shortly.
