Nine with Nine - Romantic Goth Capsule Collection

Last month we created a Nu Goth capsule collection, and this month we are continuing the idea.
We've created the essential Romantic Goth collection. Nine pieces for nine outfits to read Poe, or take long romantic walks around ancient graveyards in.

We've kept it clean and simple, but played around with jewellery and accessories a bit. You can take our idea and run wild with it, adding different coloured tights, leggins, or experimenting with high heels for a more polished, or some docs for a more weird chick look.

The pieces we used are these:
Velvet 2 Style Black Gothic Jacket 
Helena Burgundy Taffeta Underbust Corset
BURGUNDY-RED Velvet Fitted Victorian Gothic Jacket
Opium Wine Red Gothic Skirt
Dead Souls Elegance Cross Gothic Dress
Black Rose Lace Blouse
Her Secret World Long Gothic Dress
Rogue Baroque Trousers
Black Butterfly Top Dress

A Dark Delight

With hump day over we are headed swiftly towards the weekend.  If like us you have a whole host of events to attend you are going to need something to wear. 

We have fallen in love with the Punk Rave Black Gypsy Dress, the relaxed bohemian style with black lace, brocade and a jagged hemline is comfortable but stylish.  The addition of faux leather and fitted bust gives this beauty an edgy vibe. 

We have also picked out a new Devil Fashion coat in case the evenings get a little chilly, a beautiful traditional coat in black velvet we present the Poison Ivy Swallow Tail Corset Coat, featuring a faux fur collar and ribbon corseting at the back for a perfect fit.

Mix it up with jewellery, cuffs, handbags and more.  Featured above is the Ornate Gothic Cross earrings by Cherryloco,  intricately cut and detailed with red swarovski crystals.  Baroness Black Lace cuff bands with a Victorian lady cameo and filagree frame and the Red Brocade and Stud handbag.

ning, making it lovely and warm.

Creepy and cute

If there is something we goths love, it's pairing creepy and cute together.  Maybe it's because we grew up with Beetlejuice and Tim Burton, maybe it’s because spiders and bats are just so darn adorable (and maybe it's our latest shop addition- Atomic Lace jewellery), but either way, there is always some room for a cute detail or two in our wardrobe.

This time we went all out, dug through our Gothic Shop closet and pulled out our cutest pieces of clothing and jewellery, and created four outfits for you to squee over (we know we did)!

Of Lace and Tight-lacing

When we think of tight-lacing, we think of allure, of an hourglass figure, of times past and ladies’ boudoirs. We think of seduction, and maybe a hint of danger. All this seduction and femininity applies to lace as well.

It is no wonder then that we decided to combine and celebrate the two in this blog, and play around with the idea of a very ladylike femme fatale.
  

Black Lace 

We were simply blown away with this Black lace corset dress and had to feature it in our first set as it combines all we love in one neat package. We accessorized with an elaborate necklace and earrings, and added a simple yet elegant ring and of course, a lace fan.

Purple Brocade

There is something incredibly seductive about the colour purple. We paired this purple brocade corset with a lace and mesh skirt and mesh gloves for a lady that hides and reveals at the same time.

Taffeta Whisper 

The Taffeta Whisper is what we love about old school Goth: The sleek, Morticia-inspired silhouette, the suggestive lace, and the tight, figure-enhancing corset. It’s definitely our kind of sexy!

Thrill of Frill

Our last set, Thrill of Frill is inspired by Steampunk. The mermaid skirt and the black corset with the brass detailing just beg for steampunk style jewellery. Of course, we added a large frilled parasol which doubles as an umbrella, because a proper steampunk lady wouldn’t be caught dead without it!

Which of these sets is your favourite? Don’t forget you can see them all on our Polyvore too!
