ChicStar one shoulder fishtail dressA “design community” where customers submit sketches, vote on which ones get manufactured, and buy them when they come into existence. And it’s not just t-shirts: they do mermaid gowns, 50’s swing dresses, bustle skirts, trenchcoats, corset-laced jeans, flared 70’s jumpsuits, lots of body-hugging stuff with liberal splashes of retro and Victorian goth. A lot of it comes in plus sizes, too – and if it doesn’t, speaking up is welcome.

Fetish Bitch checkered rave outfitThis site specializes in “raunchi rave outfits” – in other words, bikinis with halter tops, bikinis with tiny little skirts, bikinis with hotshorts, bikinis bright with neon and stripes and slashes and often matchable with legwarmers and gauntlets. Also hooded minidresses and rompers, tutus, shrugs, garters, and Stargazer hair color and makeup.

CutesyGirl 80's platform ruffled pumpsAn enormous array of skimpy clubwear and some actual practical stuff too, tunic turtlenecks among the plunging necklines and metallic minidresses. Leggings, rompers, pleather motorcycle jackets, denim skinnies and flares, plenty of separates to play with, a ton of costume jewelry, 20 pages of Halloween costumes, and what looks to be Leg Avenue’s entire catalog. Particularly good for scrunchy ankle boots and platform pumps and all the other fun 80’s-esque styles in materials that are not leather.

Body Webs gothic fetish distressed catsuitSpandex fashion artfully scissored with openwork lines running all over the body, accentuating curves and flashing strategic bits of skin. The palette is classic sinister black, in catsuits and bodysuits, dresses and separates, men’s and plus sizes. Deliciously 80’s and priced way less than a lot of the “pre-distressed” stuff running around right now.
