I haven't done a gothic thrift haul post for a while. I threw my beautiful spider web top from Arsenic Fashions over this awesome dress I found at a charity shop. The dress was pretty big on so I put two layers on and also put it over leggings so it would cling a bit more to the fabric. Whenever I thrift I look for a lot of lovely velvet materials, mesh and see through fabrics or lacy items.

Great job pulling it in with the shirt! What a great idea! I must remember that! I loooove velvet and I love it from opshops because I can actually afford it! Unfortunately it is one of those things that costs more to make than by! I want a burgundy velvet jacket but the nice looking velvet is about $30 a metre at the craft shop!
ReplyDeleteI love the embroidered detail on that jacket! I want to steal it!
Thanks Laura! The jacket I got it's Hell Bunny, I think Hot Topic actually. So lovely. It is a fun trick I use to do a tight fitted top over a bulkier dress. I love doing that. It really helps. Ooh I know velvet is SO expensive at times. I only get my velvet pieces usually from charity shops but I did find an amazing velvet skirt that use to be 79 dollars for 19 dollars on sale!! I found it at Urban Outfitters. I will do a post on it. Hopefully they still have some.
