Arsenic Fashions is a goth boutique that has undergone a revamp in recent years – before the Edwardian site design and boom in original clothing, they were called Irridescent Veil and featured a small line of dark accessories, the most notable of which were prom accoutrements of black rose boutinnieres and raven corsages. These were classic fancy-dress staples turned black for people who like to hit the ballroom all year long, and priced at about ten bucks, easily snagged for gifts or tarting up a shredded dress. We were disappointed to find them gone when they asked us to check out the new site, and an inquiry to the webmistress brought this response: “I’ll make you one if you send me a picture of you wearing it.”

So here I am! This is an accessory that goes very well with kitty ears, I think. The gothic prom accessories are still not on the site, but that’s the beauty of custom requests – ask her nicely and maybe she’ll make you one, too.
