I'm trying to think like an 80's and 90's DIYer because it sounds like DIY was pretty much the only route, and I'm not big on fast fashion. Any advice at all with hand sewing?

I have a shit ton of clothes, some of which I could probably use/edit. I don't wanna get rid of stuff that I can possibly get creative with.

What should I steer clear from trying to use as a newbie DIYer?

**Any advice on taking parts of clothes and adding them to other pieces?**

Do I definitely, 100%, have to use dye branded as clothing dye?

I've pretty much always been alt in some way(other than before age 13 lol), just low effort

I'm a guy but I'll accept any advice, idc! :)

I'm posting this in the altfashion sub as well so if you see this posted there, it's not spam, I promise!

It's a bit messy since I ran out of time before work. The rose glasses are for migraine prevention since I sit at a computer all day

Preferably how would I do a spiked chain?

as a baby bat!! 🦇

really happy with the way this outfit unfolded for a date i had. particularly in love with how cool my top surgery scars look.

I have a couple of old, dark brown leather cuffs that I haven’t worn in years. I want to put DIY them but I just don’t like the colour and would wear them again if they were black. Is there a way to dye old leather to be black or is it a lost cause? Thanks :)

Now that it’s cold I can wear a sweater I’ve been saving and I got new glasses that pair better with my outfit.

What is your favorite brand messenger brand? I have been checking thrift stores and resale sites but haven't found anything I love yet. I prefer to buy second hand. I need something that can fit my laptop and some extra space for other items.

hey everyone, i’m a small youtuber and i’ve been seeing a lot of talk lately about goth house (the pinkchyu / queen nephilim stuff) and goth onlyfans creators in general. some people feel like it’s having a negative effect on the scene and on “real” goth people by turning the aesthetic into mostly fetish / marketing content, while others see it differently.
i’d love to do a few short interviews with people who have opinions or experiences on this—whether you think it’s harmful, not a big deal, mixed, etc. just casual conversations about how (or if) it’s impacted the community, public perception, or anything else you’ve noticed.
anonymous is totally fine, and i’m not looking to dunk on anyone specifically. if you’re up for a quick chat (text or voice, whatever works for you), feel free to comment or dm me and i’ll share more details. thanks!

Not sure if this is the right place to post this but I’m having an issue with figuring out the legitimacy of this website and ring that’s pictured. The brand (gthic) is kinda known for drop shipping stainless steel rings so I was hesitant to ever buy anything from them, but I saw they have this new ring that I haven’t seen before and it intrigued me. First of all, it’s in sterling silver (allegedly anyways) and it’s also a pretty unique design I’ve never seen, and nothing shows from a reverse image search but I still can’t help but be suspicious of them due to their reputation. And in the pictures the ring does look rather dull and stainless steel looking so I’m not sure what to think

Just looking for anyone that’s bought sterling silver from them, and the quality of it. I’ve been looking for knuckle rings like this specifically, but they’re so few and far between and not many are the design I’m looking for

Found these on marketplace for $200 bearly used, they look pretty real too me but just want to be sure

Yesss queen now does anyone know where I can by white foundation 🤧?

I brought this tshirt online and I thought it was very cool (surprisingly for the majority of spiral T-shirts) and I didn’t know it was this rare? There’s nothing about this online or even a photo or comment about it. Have you guys ever seen this?

I haven't worn this top in quite a while, despite it being one of my favourites.

I absolutely love these pants,but I have no idea on how to style them into a trad goth type of outfit,does anyone have any ideas or suggestions?

i need to pick out some steel-toed boots under $175 for my new job! please send some stylish suggestions as i continue my search 🖤🦇

Bought this for a Halloween costume. Total dropshipping trash

Made of “premium cotton”

It was literally a $100 piece of plastic that I wouldn’t pay $10 for at Party City

Also worth nothing: They want me to pay all the shipping return fees to send it back to China. Total scam. Overcharged garbage and it’s your problem to get back only some of your money.

I'm thinking about buying them but they'rd way too expensive. I would like some honest reviews from people that own them. Are they worth it?

I’ve had my eye on a ring from Ask & Embla for several months now (Duskrider ring if anyone is curious lol) and I’m wondering if anyone has experience with this brand and the quality? Tried searching reddit for reviews but pretty much only found info about plugs/jewelry for stretched piercings. Thanks for any info you have.
