Tees chopped up and stitched back together into hoodie tops, off-the-shoulders, halters, minidresses, and strapless sweethearts backed with corset lacing, often panelled with pops of plaid and zebra. Shopping by band reveals a promiscuous array that’s very heavy on the metal, spiced here and there with punk and classic rock, and if you don’t see what you’re looking for, you’re invited to send in a shirt of your own.

Killer Kitty

Baggy-tee revamps split between 80’s emo brightness and grindhouse cinema. This is the kind of place you can find both bright little apple hoodies and Blood Feast lounge pants, where pink polkadotted ruffle skirts exist peacefully beside Suspiria halter tops, and striped can-can drawstring purses share the page with Misfits hobo bags. Custom welcome.

Halo Designs

This site is split into hairables and wearables, all of it extreme and colorful. Dreads of synth and yarn and plastic, candystriped and clashed and even frankenstein-stitched, and the add-on page features beaded tulle dreads along with rexlace. Fringes and clip-in extensions are also to be found over here. On the other side, there’s a corsetting/haltering service for oversized t-shirts, totes and messengers, cowboy hats, and a bit of jewelry including creepy little blood drip bags. Cosmetic pigments, too.

Smarmy Clothes

lilah wild — Wed, 07 Jan 2009 23:19:00 +0000

T-shirt reconstruction that blends pinup and punk in swingy tiered skirts, ruffled pencil silhouettes, corsetty bodices, hoodies, and retro halters, with some 80’s metallic panels appearing here and there. The Misfits, the Nightmare Before Christmas, Rob Zombie, G.G. Allin, Bettie Page, and the Horrorpops are among the design themes you’re likely to find here, although tartan, tiger stripes, and batty mesh are sometimes used on their own, and almost everything is made one of a kind. Custom sometimes available, and wholesale discounts are offered to rollerderby teams.

Victorious Pirate

Band tees reconstructed into hoodies, ballerinas, babydolls, halters, corset tops, and even a little bondage strappiness, where first you choose the style and then the group. Currently there are 340 bands to choose from, goth and metal and punk and horror (and, OK, Pink Floyd too), excellent for some new innovations in t-shirt customization.

Deranged Designs

lilah wild — Tue, 07 Nov 2006 03:14:00 +0000

All kinds of reconstructed tees, hoodies, skirts, and dresses made over with leopard, polka dots, zippers, and screamingly bright fabrics mixed up with classic punk logos. Pins, patches, belts and loose spikes finish off the look, and custom is offered by lottery.
