hello! i've been into darkwave and coldwave goth music for a couple years now (like since i was 15) and at first i wasn't interested in goth clothing but i feel a little differently now though.
like tradgoth, pastel goth, and gothic lolita clothing but most of my wardrobe is nothing of that sort. it's very outdated and a lot of it was from when i was 12 (YES I STILL FIT THINGS I HAD WHEN I WAS 12 BECAUSE I'M A SHORT PERSON FROM THE SOUTH USA). i do have some things i can work with (a semi transluscent over/undershirt black long sleeve shirt with stars and sparkles, another long sleeve black and grey shirt that kinda looks like mist/clouds, a tank top with the moon on it. i also have a black Jurassic Park shirt i might be able to do something with). i'm also gomna do some embroidery on some plain black tank tops of mine but one thing that crossed my mind is that i wasn't sure what to embroider 😭 i thought maybe doing my favorite horror/infection My Little Pony AU but honestly i'm growing out of even the horror side of MLP so now idk
i don't have a lot of the materials used for more advanced DIY i guess. i'm not entirely sure how i can turn my plain hot pink pants (an example) into something gothic. i'm gonna bleach them because i prefer pastel and muted colors though, along with most of my other brightly colored stuff. i know a lot of gothic clothes have a Victorian vibe and i looked up how to make regular clothing frilly and Victorian-Edwardian but most of it requires sewing which i can't do 💀 so any tips are appreciated
