Berserk Clothing rollerderby skull skirtFashion to fight in! A catalog of darkwear that turns out cute’n'evil cotton suitable for rollerderby and other lively pursuits that might involve a bloody nose. The dresses take their shapes from cheerleader and army uniforms, the skirts are emblazoned with polarized skulls, and if you’ve ever felt the burning need to sport handguns across the ‘tocks, this is your store. Knuckle rings, lightning bolts, and medical crosses make up the jewelry section, the armwarmers smother everything from elbow to wrist in brass knuckles, and they stock the footwear trifecta of Demonia, Pleaser, and Bordello.

Bibian Blue glamour corsetrySuper-duper extravagant corsetry and fancy dress from Barcelona. The elegantly nipped waists are presented in Victorian buckles, circus stripes, tailored tartan, can-can lace, steampunk leatherette, gothic batty bustlines, industrial latches, and many other sumptuous permutations, often with skirts, pasties, jackets, and millinery to match. Bridalwear, too. Thanks, Sara!

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.

The Black Wardrobe retro gothic femme fatale dressThis catalog approaches goth strictly from a femme fatale point of view. The tight, wiggly silhouettes are all dark, dark, dark, the skirts high-waisted and the necklines curving to show off the decolletage. The only jewels here are brooches – black widow spiders, covered in lace and rhinestones.

Cobweb Clothing tie-dye shrugA catalog that gets right to the gothic point, eschewing the neutrals in favor of mesh, leopard print, fishnet, cut-outs, tie dye, the occasional paisley, and good old solid black. Versatile for layering and snazzing up a plain outfit by sheathing the limbs in a wild pattern, through tops long and shortsleeved, stockings, and fingerless gloves.

Princess Madison retro veiled hatFripperies combining Victorian propriety with burlesque tease, resulting in decadent cancan accessorization. Lots of headpieces in fascinator clips, long black veils, and flowery little hats trimmed with netted veils and trailing ribbons. Neckwear is also abundant in ruffled lace chokers and vampire-aristocrat ascots, and it’s a good place if you like your stuff studded with cameos.
