Over and Under The Corset

Throughout history the beloved corset has been an iconic piece of clothing, constantly evolving as fashion trends have emerged. Women from around the globe have used corsets to alter their appearance and create a fashion statement.

Still hugely popular in Gothic fashion the desired effect of corsets is to slim the body and give you a fashionable silhouette while emphasizing a voluptuous figure.

The Gothic Shop has a spectacular selection of overbust and underbust corsets and here are our a few of our favourites:

A gorgeous Black Satin Underbust Corset with steel-boning and metal clasp busk to the front, and elegant cord lacing up the back will give you a near perfect frame.

Check out our Black scroll brocade longlined underbust corset, this tightlacing waspie creates amazing shape, with brocade trim along the seams and black satin pleated frill along the lower edge for a feminine finish.

One corset we can't live without is this Burgundy-red Tafetta Silk Gothic Corset. It is steel-boned with black frill trimming around the top and bottom of the corset and a black ribbon bow. This breath-taking creation has silver clasps to the front and cord laced back with modesty panel.

We also adore this Dark Purple Taffeta Silk Gothic Corset with pleated black frill around the top and bottom of the corset and a delicate black ribbon bow. 

Or to complement a slightly fuller figure this Black Brocade Underbust Corset will show off your curves in all the right places, so grab it now while stocks last.

Get Stylish Gothic for 2013!

We love Christmas! But with all the sparkly lights and tinsel there is a hint of the bittersweet. Party season will soon be over so most of us will be making the most of those New Year's celebrations. We will all be back to the usual mundane reality. Going back to work in the still adverse weather conditions is not fun. However there are ways to overcome the doom and gloom. New Years could mean a new you! It's the time of year when so many of us flock to the gym in our droves and those hairdresser and beauty salon appointments are made. If there was ever a time to reassess ones look then now would be the time to do it! 

What are your style resolutions for the next twelve months? Want to be more stylish? Expressive? More fabulous than ever before? In that case the first stop to the new you has to be The Gothic Shop: 

Flowers and Skull bag by Loungefly

Sugar skulls are known for being bright, a celebration of all things deceased. But they do not always need to be bright, we love them as an understated style too! This stunner of a bag by Loungefly has the archetypal sugar skull motif with flowers for a subtle look. An alternative look that has accents of Baroque as well as the Gothic. The pretty gold embroidery really make this bag precious, you have the secure inner zipped compartments. The Flowers and Skull from Loungefly is the ideal work bag to be seen with.

Anahita Fur Trim Hooded Bolero By Necessary Evil

Getting the balance between looking hot and feeling great is not an easy one. Being in those figure hugging corsets may look seriously sexy but can take it's toll. Sometimes all we want to do is be comfortable, but why can't we have it both ways? The Gothic Shop stock pieces that help you do just this.

One of the pieces that I adore is the fur trimmed bolero style jacket. With the faux fur trim on the hood and sleeves, it's very Anna Karenina in an updated Gothic version. On a practical level you have the versatility of a longsleeve jacket, great for those unpredictable weather days when they happen. Layer with a t-shirt or an elegant long sleeved top for comfy chic in the blink of an eye!

Sofia Black Winter Coat with Fur Trim Hood 

Winter is set to continue for a good few months yet! With January and February predicted to be the iciest months in years. Investing in a coat that will protect you from the elements is a must. But it's not all about those giant over-sized shapeless coats. The Gothic Shop have a superb collection of the most figure flattering coats around. The Sofia Black Winter Coat has everything a good Gothic winter coat needs.Tailoring to die for and superb style. Take a look at the rest of the coats and fitted jackets for Victorian steampunk bustle's, tail-like designs as well as darkly Lolita looks!

Velvet for Goths

Velvet is a timeless favourite, a truely indulgent  fabric, plus its always been a Goth closet staple. Velvet is a versatile winter fabric to work into your evening wardrobe to give you a majestic feel. No texture can compare to this splendid textile which conjures up images of Historical Wealth, the mysterious  Lady of the Night and fabled Vampire stories.

We love this Long Black Velvet and Net Vampire Dress which is feminine and flattering with its black velvet bodice which is trimmed with brocade knots down the front, zips to the back and a high back which forms a vampire collar around the neck. The skirt is made from tiered very soft black ruched mesh trimmed with black lace, add a festive twist with a pair of statement earrings from Alchemy Gothic.

The Black Velvet Off Shoulder Fishtail Dress by Sinister is fast becoming a  desired object for pale-skinned temptress' seductions and we couldn't agree more when worn off the shoulder to show just enough flesh.  The fishtail skirt of the dress is short at the front and long at the back and trimmed with tulle mesh frill and black satin roses offer a hint of exposure.

This Jessica Velvet Gothic Dress offers a laidback, vintage inspired alternative by Spin Doctor. Its fitted  waist and gentle flare above the knee shows off all your curves.This little number has a stiffened scalloped neckline with off-shoulder sleeves and elasticated straps. (Available in Black, Red and Green)

If you are looking to add a little velvet to your usual attire then we have some beautifully crafted coats, our top picks are: this exquisite Lilianne Velvet Fishtail Hooded Coat by Sinister black velvet with loads of black brocade trimming and frog fastenings down the front. The hood is lined with grey-black satin and at the back is adjustable velvet ribbon lacing and velvet bows which are utterley spell-binding.

Or if you prefer something a little more straight laced, then our Victorian fitted velvet black gothic jacket with black lace trimming around the hem and  flared cuffs. The stunning and sexy corset style back has a thick black satin ribbon which is laced through silver D-rings.   This jacket is smartly tailored to fit perfectly and is made of the highest quality soft velvet.

We have a spectacular collection to suit every style so take a look at the entire range of Velvet items we have available.   Use coupon code velvet15 to get 15% off your order placed before midnight GMT Monday 17 December 2012.

Dragons at The Gothic Shop

Mythical beasts with magical powers seem to have been around since the dawn of time itself. The legends of old tell us about scaled dragon-like creatures who plagued local villages killing many an innocent. These huge serpent like animals that inhabited mysterious caves, coming out only to cause misery and mayhem!

The Dragons Lure RIGHT Ear Wrap Gothic Earring at The Gothic Shop: Suitable for one piercing. The metal piece wraps around most regular ear shapes. 

But did they ever truly exist and roam the lands getting up to all sorts of mischief, holding damsels to ransom?  Were there really sacrifices made to appease their raging appetites for human flesh and blood? Stories of these terrifying beasts and their antics are found in practically every culture all over the world: From the one hundred-headed sleepless serpent of ancient Greece who guarded the Golden Fleece to the Dragon of the Chinese zodiac, a beast that has always represented benevolence, wisdom and power.
Western European cultures have all too often depicted dragons as harbingers of evil and malice, winged and fire breathing beasts that are capable of wreaking great havoc over towns and cities. Until some hero would come along and slay the dragon- think the world famous legend of St George and the Dragon! So revered was he for slaying the terrible dragon that he became the patron saint of England!

Although these creatures have long been linked to the dark side they have also some very positive traits, for example they are loyal to their masters and will protect them to the death! Dragons have long been known to be guardians of their treasure no matter what it be: Who wouldn't want a faithful and powerful beast to protect them from their enemies? 



Coeur Sauvage Dragon Necklace by Alchemy Gothic 



With all this it's no surprise that our love for them has lasted through the ages: It's as strong now as it has ever been. Is it their sheer power? Their magical qualities? Their mischievous nature? How would you react if you happened to accidently cross the path of an angered dragon? Whatever you choose to believe there is no reason that you cannot bring Dragons into your everyday life! Along with all the magic and the mythology that they are so connected with!   

Imperial Dragon Gothic Watch 

The dragons discovered at The Gothic Shop are created to be just as individual as you are. Each of the creatures are perfectly formed, with each scale and tooth exquisitely made. We stock a range of Alchemy Gothic and Spiral Direct. Whether you are after a dragon earring to perch comfortably on one side encouraging you to do carry out bad deeds, or that very distinctive dragon statement pendant. The Gothic Shop have a huge variety of Gothic Dragons for you! Whichever one you choose be prepared: For who knows what chaos your magical beast will cause!

Bags & Jewels, we want something new too!

With the launch of two death, murder, kill games this week, I am sure I am not alone when I say I have become a Goth-Gamer's Widow to the Xbox. With my other half glued to the TV screen and taking every waking moment to indulge in his favourite past time of gaming, I am left alone and ignored until the novelty wears off.


So to rid myself of pity I have been purging through our Gothic Shop goodies as there is nothing like a bit of retail therapy to soothe the soul. Here are a few of my favourite finds:

Simple, sturdy and utterly stylish, you just can't go wrong with this totally gothtastic Spiral Direct wings and barbed broken heart bowling bag.

There's been an influx of skulled patterns on the high street in the last few months- but if you want to rock out then we suggest you splash out on this Gold Skull Bag by Lounge Fly

Our love of the purse bag has never waned, in a seductive burgundy hue and embossed pentagram this Alchemy bag should be added this to your wish list!

You could fit everything you need in this Stripy Purple and Black bag, it has compartments and zips everywhere and will simply fill you with Gothic Delight!

Also why not take a look at the awesome jewellery collection in our e-store,  here are a few that caught my eye.

The gorgeous Emerald Green Lucretia Choker is great for all skin tones and if you’re looking  to introduce some colour, this choker is the way forward.

I love this feminine, feline Hello Kitty Ballchain necklace as its girlie but cool!

You will shine  if you wear this  Alchemy Gothic She Walks in Beauty choker which features black onyx cabochon within an intricate two tone pewter setting etched with a delphic and lamentable line from the pen of the inimitable Lord Byron, but for whom...?

Lady Amaranth and The Gothic Wedding Dress

Like it needs to be said - the wedding dress is the gown of all gowns! Quite possibly the most influential and important outfit you will ever wear in your life if you do decide to go down the isle! Brides-to-be spend months, if not years fantasizing about that perfect dress for their big day and why not? It is so important to get it just right as all eyes will be on you!

The wedding dress is the centre piece of the wedding. The media speculation on what Kate Middleton wore on the all important wedding day last year was rife for months before. There were comparisons with the extravagance of Princess Di's wedding dress. A fantastic wedding dress will transcend the decades, the more extravagant the better! We have seen some amazing dresses in our time but check out this stunning Black Gothic Wedding Dress from Sinister.

As our regulars will know The Gothic Shop likes to stock a good range of Sinister, a brand that is the epitome of the Gothic style. They are a brand that are certainly not shy when it comes to creating some real stunning statement pieces.

The amazing photographs of Lady Amaranth taken by Mark Perry Photography speak volumes for themselves! This hauntingly beautiful Black Gothic Wedding Dress by Sinister is made from over 90 metres of black lace combined with black taffeta, mesh and velvet! There is an air of fantasy and dark romance about this gown, perfect for any autumnal or winter wedding. The structured bodice has everything Victorian about that Gothic look. Designed to create that archetypal feminine hourglass figure, the corset style top adds shape to more bustier bodies and curves to those with slender frames. The very intricate detailing on the centre panels and seams only add to the whole effect.

All this culminates in the large eye catching tulle style skirt with train feature. The metres of black mesh sit underneath the lace and taffeta frills and bring gothic glamour to the whole ensemble. The only way to wear this dress is with the addition of a hooped petticoat, this will give you a full skirted effect just perfect for any Gothic wedding.

The Black Gothic Wedding Dress from Sinister is certainly one to turn heads, it's alluringly beautiful, feminine and everything a darkly decadent wedding dress should be!
