Eveningwear for the expecting: all kinds of formal gowns designed around pregnant bellies, where the empire bustline is the reigning silhouette. Lots of lace overlay, some falls of jeweltoned silk, a little colorblocking, and much straplessness, with wrap tops offered as the main be-sleeved option. Also a page of maternity-styled wedding dresses.
Despite the name, there’s actually a lot here for various other body parts, from NeoMetal, Body Circle, Kaos, Anatometal, Industrial Strength, and Gorilla Glass. The catalog navigation has each kind of jewelry helpfully diagrammed by gauge, length, and diameter so the newly initiated have a better idea of what they’re shopping for. Rings, ‘bells, claws, spikes, plugs, shields, screws, lots of shiny stainless staples to be found here as well as some handcrafted glasswork.
Corsetry straight out of a French aristocrat’s wardrobe. Antique laces, bow-trimmed garters, sparkling appliques, drapes of beads across the bust, ruched panels, the stuff of bitchy costume dramas as well as some pieces that tip towards modern high fashion, especially those little froof-garnished capes. Ruffle-trimmed top hats, delicately scrunched organdy headdresses, and satin bloomers are made for pairing, there’s a bridal collection, and the designer is not above the occasional sugar skull or polka dot.
A Massachusetts vintage shop who have brought their wares online, offering fashions for both day and night, with specializations in designer goodies, plus sizes, pre-fifties finds, mod brightness, quite a bit of Gunne Sax, and even a page of Vintage Goth. Shoes, handbags, hats, jewelry, and some dapper things for the guys, all presented with lovingly detailed descriptions.
A catalog of bodycare items for extreme art in the hair and skin, and good old fashioned 80’s metal accessorization. Dreadstuff features waxes, shampoos, and styling products from Knotty Boy and Dread FX, with a page of Directions hair dye, and balm for fresh ink from Tatt Splatt and Tattoo Aftercare. The rest of it is all pentacled sweatbands, studded cuffs and belts, Celtic buckles, bike chains, padlocks and if you’re inclined towards swathing your hips in bullets, this place stocks extras.
Bathing suits modeled on the era of their water-goddess namesake. Halters, high-waisted bikini bottoms, ruched sheaths, A-line swimdresses, even a suit modeled after Marilyn Monroe’s infamous white Seven Year Itch number. Basic tanks, tankinis, and bandeaus are less overtly retro, although that can be remedied quickly through the fabric selection’s predilection for cherries, polka dots, and Hawaiian flowers. And, of course, leopard.
