A 90s Goth Fashion Staple That Made Normies Cringe

- Sorry, I'm not fond of the word 'normies' but damn it, if I can't find a better word. I also don't like 'elder'. It makes me feel like we live in Mordor and wear silver robes while we protect a ring. So hey, you like the song? It's Vandal Moon - Sweet Disaster. Check em out on Bandcamp or Spotify..Or RUclips.
Basics were pretty easy back in the day but sometimes we just wanted to get extravagant with the lace, rushing and billowy layers but when that came to designated gothwear it came with a price tag in the triple digits. When you were a teenage goth or just a goth on a budget, you had to get creative and fortunately enough for us, the sleepwear section of thrift stores once held the answer. Vintage slips and nightgowns when embellished and accessorized right looked on par if not better than what was donning the storefront window of your favorite goth shop. Religious Sex, may she rest in peace. That store was both heaven and torture simultaneously. Look, maybe touch but always leave empty handed. I did get my Pennangalan Victin L5's there in 1999 though for $200.

In Germany we call Non-Goth- or Non-Metal-"Civilians" "Bunte", which translates to "Coloured". It is not easy to translate to English, cause "Coloured" has a different Connotation here than in the U.S.. May be we should best translate it as "Vanillas"?
@@Gutenberg1977 maybe we can liken them to a very bland dessert that doesn't have much in the way of zest. Like jello or vanilla ice cream. Goths are Tiramisu!
You're all good haha, i hate it too but it's really the only good word for em 😭💀
@@angelabenedict and true! Maybe just "vanillas"? I like it tbh haha although, people might get mixed up since the same term is used in sex talk 💀
@@Gutenberg1977 Not sure if i heard Bunte here in Austria but Vanillas fits in so many ways somehow!😹😹😹
Are we…wait Angela, are we NOT going to Mordor to protect a ring, because I’m gonna have to rearrange my whole calendar…🤦🏻♀️
It's been cancelled in lieu of taco tuesday!
Underwear is one thing, like panties, thongs and the like, but nightwear like slips and such? That's totally fine, in my eyes. Besides, you can get some super cute things in the loungewear sections anyways!
Totally! That's how we saw it as well. It's not like it's actual underwear or things that touched...Things but I think the overall concept of people sleeping in them or them being 'undergarments' flipped people out.
Exactly.
yeah it's like PJ's I mean I'd still buy a good secondhand bra
Yesssss. Besides one can actually tell how much the garment was used by inspecting it. No stains, no fray? Probably not that much use.
I like to go for those simply because it means less work on my part.
My mom screeching that my lace trimmed tanks camis everyone wore in the 00s LoOok LiKE uNDerWeAarr!!!1?1!1😭😭😭
Like she literally made me change because I was wearing one UNDER A CARDIGAN and contractors were coming to the house 😂
Totally thrifted slips in the 90's for outfits and I wasn't even goth, just obsessed with black lol. We had to get creative back then!
They were such a staple look back then!
@@angelabenedict Yes! Cool girl basics
Alot of alt girls were doing that too! The kinderwhore phase😅 and yes clothes dye was a Gut friend!!
That lipstick shade you’re wearing is perfection.
Thank you. It's mostly lip liner. It's made by LA Girl and the color is berry wine.
@@angelabenedict oh thanks for letting me know! I’ll definitely be getting some of that. Btw, I left my first comment before finishing the video, and I just wanna say that the way you styled those slips, especially the white one, was amazing. You truly have an eye for fashion. I would never think to layer like that! Thank you for inspiring me 🖤
@@angelabenedict LA girl is such a good brand. Their eyeliner rocks too :)
I was lucky in that my mum was a seamstress. She made long narrow black skirts or fishtail skirts for me and all my friends. Another friends mum was a knitter and knitted us all baggy shapeless jumpers that we shredded and made holes in. We frequented second hand stores or army and navy stores for old uniform blazers that we covered in pins and brooches. There were a few market stalls and small pop up shops where designers sold there own stuff. I remember a beautiful skirt I bought with my Saturday job money that was basically just a front and back held together with straps and buckles. This was in the 80s in Glasgow Scotland
It’s so funny when I go to the thift store and find a “nice dress”. People always point out to me that it’s lingerie 😂. I just like the lace and satin on it.
When it comes to goth looks, I'd say they're either all timeless, or we goths just don't give a fuck about "latest fashion" so much that nothing we wear ever goes out of fashion... even if they get worn out and holes in them we often still love them.
In 90's i done the slip skirt . And band shirt and tons of fishnet for my causal looks . Plus don't forget when Halloween came we stock up tons of Halloween makeup, stocking etc etc .😊😂😂😂
I had a very cool black slip dress 30 years ago. It had an empire waist and looked like something out of a Hammer film. The thrift stores where I lived back then were really, really good and cheap. About 90% of my wardrobe back then came from them.
There was such hidden gems back then. Now it's sad because it gets picked apart by resellers. But when you found something good it was holy Grail, amazing.
Some of my slip "dresses" came from my grandmother. Because she was larger than me, I could get away with wearing them layered or alone. Add a cinched belt or corset (my big thrift find), and I was set. I did get a lot of positive comments, especially from punk girls 😊.
Honestly, I feel like the average piece of everyday clothing I find thrifting has a good chance of being more gross than thrifted slips or nightgowns. I recently had the most awesome thrift store find ever- a pair of 90's Tripp leather pants-but man were they dirtier than any slip or anything like that I've seen in a thrift store. When I first picked them up, they were matte-ish and a dark grey. And after a wash, they're shiny and dark black. The water they soaked in was an absolutely nasty shade of brown. I had a similar situation come from a velvet/lace tank top I got thrifting. The real gross items in the thrift store are "dry clean only" items, and it really shows when I soak them!
I love slips so much. I live in England and the weather is hardly consistent, so slips are always really great for that. If it’s warm, I’ll wear one and make it cooler with accessories. If it’s cold, I layer them up. They’re so versatile, cheap and look great!
I lived in England for a spell, you aint kidding about that weather. You can go through 4 seasons and 7 hybrid seasons in a day! The chocolate more than makes up for it though. Have you tried the slip, DIY blazer combo? One of my all time favs.
I live in Michigan but it sounds like we have very similar weather. Most recently we had a couple 80°F days, then dropped to 34°F within a weekend (26°C to 1°C for reference). Layers are essential!
As of late it's been a henley, teeshirt, sweater set-up. 😂 At least one layer will be temperature appropriate for my body that can't regulate temperature well at all.
I wasn't alive in the 90s but i still RUN to the lingerie section everytime i go to the thrift store. I found some beautiful peices there(including my fav corset) never skip on the lingerie section 🖤.
Yes! Never sleep on that section.
80’s punk/goth here👋🏻 it was pretty much the same here…luckily I had the East Village, tons of thrifting, there we’re fortunately a lot of great places…Manic Panic actually sold vintage clothing, in addition to the hair dye that made them famous. I would save every penny I had to buy shoes or a really cool piece from Trash & Vaudeville or Pat Fields. I went to Art School in Chicago and we’d make stuff for extra money by painting jackets, club clothes from lingerie…everything thrifted. Only stores back then were Wax Trax (super expensive) a really fun store called 99th Floor (everyone we knew worked there) or the Alley which I think is still open. We just didn’t have the options everyone has now. You had to put in a lot of effort as well, and wanted to show it off!!
I could seriously watch Angela talk about 90s goth fashion for hours on end.
I love fashion, I can go on for hours lol
as a babybat i love your content!! i went thrifting today and i found the prettiest lacy night gowns ever and it's amazing. this subculture is so incredible aaaaa
That's a thrift score! I love thrift scores. Isn't it crazy how vintage nightgowns = perfect gothwear?
I remember in 2016 the first time I ever used fabric dye was on a used lacey lingerie top. The top was already pumpkiny burnt orange so kind of a good color for a goth look. I really wanted it to be black so I dyed it and it turned into a swirly black and orange Jack o lantern tie dye 😂. I guess I didn’t do so well the first go. Oh well!
It's always hit or miss with dying vintage stuff. Sometimes it comes out like a work of art other times it looks like a butt. Either way it's an adventure!
I just did the same recently w a lime green one and it turned a beautiful dark blue and dark green. And i actually like it more than it being black, which rarely happens for me! Although i still want a ack version, but i can't bring myself to dye it black now 😂
I thrift most of my clothes but could never find a decent slip or a night gown. The ones I find at thrift stores are whether too short (more like tops) or are way too big for me or are so plain and boring that even accessories won't help. The long ones and vintage ones are really a rarity nowadays but I keep looking!
Keep looking, they appear when you least expect them.
A big yes please to the sewing diy video! I'd love to learn how to make things that look like this. 😍
Done and done!
…and there I go to my nearest Victoria’s Secret with fresh style ideas and this video in mind 🖤
I love it!
Right now, in some countries, we still have to do DIY or Buy fast fashion cause we don't have access to goth clothing and I have been goth since i was 15, now i'm 34
Yes thrifting is still a great way to find some very good clothes. Definitely never grossed me out that they were used. Some of the best stuff I own are thrifted pieces. With a little dyeing, cutting and sewing or safety pinning you have a unique piece that nobody else has🖤
Funny reflecting on this video. I was thinking about a lot of things we used to thrift and can’t find anymore … velvet 1/2 capes… hats… and We used to be able to get those Victorian style couches/love seats for a really good price because they were reproductions from the 60’s/70’s and grandma had them in their “formal” livingroon. Now they are sooooo pricy!!! Aye!!!
I was a lucky 90s child whose grandmother let me play dress up with her 60s nightgowns and jewelry, and I felt like a frickin' movie star! Those things were truly gorgeous. She taught me sewing basic too, and later in high school in the 00s I loved to thrift and DIY. I wasn't goth and had no defined aesthetic. I just stuck random pieces I liked together and looked like a different person every day. Maybe you could call it accidental Harajuku. Or just ADHD maximalism.
I feel you on the ADHD maximalism 😭
i think most people in the subculture miss that DIY era nothing wrong with mainstream exposure only issue is it often gets alot of things wrong especially things in then music category haha im glad we have the internet were people are taking back the Culture
Things really do go south real fast when music comes up at times!
@@angelabenedict indeed
I agree the 90s brings back memories and it's timeless. Btw I used safety pins then. Now I still do but mostly I glue my outfits together.
Safety pins and glue get the job done!
Those colorful slips were for the Debbie Jelenski''s of the world.... and nearly 30 years later she's still the villain.
As a teen nowdays i associate with going onto thrift shop sleepwear category so i can find cool clothes and then diying them
Angela …your videos are amazing and very inspiring for all goths but, especially the baby 🦇’s . I’m almost 52 and I feel that you’re dead on with everything you discuss in your videos. Keep it up ghoul 🖤
I would love too see the DIY for making that bust cut, finally trying my hands again at legit sowing 🖤
I'm excited to show this one off!
I think people that are in the scene nowadays take the fashion side of the subculture for granted. What we had to do back in the day was a real struggle to find good pieces. It was difficult for the guys but especially hard for the girls. However in my opinion they pulled it off everytime
Coincidentally, I wore a slip to the club last night! The one I was wearing is an older style but obviously a newer garment, though I don't know how new because it was a thrift store find. It's not as opulent as the vintage ones, but still is trimmed in lace and lovely.
Thanks for the video!
I love that they're still being worn out!
I used to dye slips for my kid to take her around with me, and they always came out a dreary lavender/grey with black Rit. But they were so lovely! And of course the stores started selling black dresses for kids when they outgrew everything.
That dye was amazing. Have you seen the colors they have now? They've really upped their game.
@@angelabenedict They have! The kid uses them to customize dolls, and I use them for the usual.
You have to make sure you get dye designed for synthetic fabrics and not cotton. Trying to dye lingerie black is hard as the trim can be a different fabric than the body. I always found purple or deep burgundies easier as the trim would come out a slightly darker or lighter colour and not the dingy grey that occurred with black dye
@@paulief3817 I'm aware. Angela and I were speaking about occurrences from over 15 years ago.
@@evisceratemyprey Sorry to interrupt a private conversation
I always wondered where these clothes came from . Goth now seems to be a fashion label .
i think people have lost this creativity
That's why we gotta remind them. Throw out tips and hacks and get them on the DIY train.
I must admit I'm lazy myself these days except when I go to festivals then I usually get an ADHD fixation on making a costume
Who has not looked granny's/auntie's old stuff from when they were younger? We goth just went for very specific stuff and it was a lot of fun creating your own garments/outfits. Somehow i miss it a bit. Thanks for this look down memory-lane!🖤🐾🐈⬛meow🦇
That video just soothed my little 90s soul🖤 ❤🖤☠️
Love your fashion videos! Can you do one with how you layered slips together? That would be amazing!
I love buying slips off of eBay for pretty cheap, but would love advice on layering them!!
UGH that fur-trim jacket is to die for, I've seen it before around the internet. I have this chunk of black mink fur I rescued from a deteriorating jacket, and I haven't used it for anything for a decade. I think I'd like to make a stole and matching cuffs that I can add to any jacket, feels like the most efficient choice for it (it's not as fluffy as the fur pictured here tho).
That is genius, and i think you should totally go for it! Also, i do the same thing, holding on to fabric scraps foreverrrrr until i finally use them 😭
You are young my sweet Angela! I just can't see you as an Elder! It's too cold here to wear these items most of the time but I wish I had the nerve in the Summer!
It just feels like an oddly dramatic way to say, I've been here a long time.'I..am an ELDER!'. It's hard to see myself as one as well but then again, just getting involved and discovering the scene really doesn't feel like it happened all that long ago. But then math happens and you realize it was.
@@angelabenedict Once you get over 60 then oddly dramatic is the way to go! LOL!!
@@purplejanew I like this perspective! I'm going to give it a go.
I feel so inspired after this video! Craving to continue to learn how to sew based on that one jacket you just described. Thank you so much for sharing again, Angela!
I literally just took out several of my prized vintage slips. My favorite thrift store I got all of mine from just closed recently. Absolutely memory unlocked. I'm bringing it back. I'm goin to the thrift store this weekend.
I'm sorry to hear about your fav thrift store. That really sucks. I predict a slip filled summer!
@@angelabenedict I hope so. I'm so hype.
your videos about diy always inspire me! i have more ideas and things to look out for next time i go to the thrift store :') also i absolutely love the way you've done your makeup
I love your videos, they always take me back to the younger days 🖤 There used to be a similar store what you described, where I live, we always went in and just looked around, lace and velvet heaven, surely we could not afford anything. We always went to thrift stores and found nice mesh tops, skirts, or bought from each other within the goth community. Also had some rock n roll stores selling goth things aaaand also romantic goth or goth metal clothing. Oh god just went down on memory lane 😅 and I still love and wear black. also some of us grandma’s or mom’s helped to thrift flip up the slips we bought. They applicated some lace strings and were ready to go! I still remember my Granny saying “I see you like the colour black” 🥰
I've always loved thrifting and diy-ing your own clothes... nothing better than finding things that are beautiful, inexpensive, unique, from another time and being recycled all at once.
That damn heart-crushing look near the end, as you're sitting around for the fashion-show part of the video... I feel bewitched. 🖤
The end result is excellent, they’re just so elegant.
The outfit you're in while you're talking is great! As for the slips, that blue was so STRIKING. It really hits you, and it looked great on you. The white was good too, but I tend to darker colours. (gee, wonder why). If you have any time to make a DIY video on the stitching and making of that bust line, please do. I love your DIY videos, they have ALL been great! Have a great week!
I love these ideas, and still look for vintage slips to this day. I have a few of them that I'm planning on figuring out something really beautiful to do with them this summer. Another thing I don't think people think about is vintage opera coats. I have one from the 1920s and it is sooo beautiful to wear over a long dress in the winter
I would just LOVE to see a compilation of pictures or show us some things you have made or put together yourself!
The first look is so elegant and spooky.
Thank you!
Omg, happy to see a new video from you
I remember in the 2000's it was fill a bag for $5.
Damn. I'm gonna need to pull out the nightgowns and slips for Murder of Crows! I hear it's still pretty warm in NYC in September.
Yes! September is still pretty much summer weather here.
Yoo i love the atmosphere in your room 🖤🖤🖤
Great video Angela, thank you! Ah the memories of going to lingerie stores, and the looks we used to get! 😂
Oh my gods… that Victorian jacket with the fur…I’m in love.
My Grandma got me started in thrifting early because Wednesday was 1/2 off discount for Seniors day. I would just look for anything black on the racks and scored some great pieces that I still own today, like an all-lace, long-sleeve top from the high end store B. Moss, several black g*psy skirts, and some sheer undergarments like you spoke about. I would then put them with the 'pricier' things I got at stores like Hot Topic, 5·7·9, or G&G.
These are absolutely stunning pieces!! The major difference (I think) between vintage lingerie and fancy gowns is how thin the fabric is. I remember things like that being pretty easy to thrift in the 90s. For some reason I never got into the black dye, probably because Mom said no. 😂 But I love certain brights. We thrifted loads of 70s/early 80s floor length gowns, too; if we were lucky they were black or jewel toned but they ran the full gamut of insane shades like lime or tangerine 🍊😝With pastels, sometimes I’d add a floral trim, it was very pre-Raphaelite and ethereal. So apricot or sky blue was acceptable. 🙃😄 Your description of longing for the beautiful goth clothes in shop windows brings back such memories! 🖤Simpler times…💜🖤 It must’ve been delicious torture to window shop in NYC back then…🫠the whole reason I’ve built up a bargain Killstar collection is that it validates my 17-24 year old self and makes her happy. 🖤
PS: Afterpay and Klarna have both worked well for me; I split things into 4 payments with zero interest or fees. It brought my credit score up. The trick is to be conservative and keep track of the payment schedule. But that’s like any credit line. 🤓
I appreciated your expression of passion for the topic and the way you use your vocabulary.
Thank you, very much!
I love these looks so much!!!! Do you think you could do a video about the kindergoth looks in the 90s and how slips and other vintage clothing items were used in that? I love a lot of the kindergoth looks i can find, but it seems most kindergoth is buried under gothic lolita, dark girly kei and egirl styles mistagged as kindergoth.
Goth from Germany here - the algorithm brought me to your channel a few days ago, so I watched already a few of your videos.
If I got that right, we must be the same age, and I too got into goth around the early 90s, but living in a super small town in Franconia, there weren't any parties or concerts at all, so I was pretty much on my own until I moved to a bigger town that actually was quite famous in the german subculture, with "Das Ich" und "Goethes Erben" coming from there - and you usually met them at the parties in that area, or even ran into them while getting some groceries ...
But that's a different story. What I wanted to say is that - I don't remember that we did the vintage slip thing over here, I remember there was a lot of crushed velvet and lace, and harem trousers and Pike boots around, and of course - a lot of thrifting and DIY but - this is new to me, and I think it's super interesting because I have to agree that it looks super awesome!
I wore a lot of these loose viscose hippie-ish tunics, with lots of embellishments like mirror sequins, embroidery and velvet facings. Luckily, they were also made in black, and not just earthy tones - and the shops that carried them, also had amazing silver tribal jewellery. We loved that stuff ...
Just recently I was searching for my old tunics but it seems I only kept one, relatively plain one ...
That was basically my everyday attire - one of these tunics, slim trousers with ripped knees and boots.
Later in the 90s, some girls started to wear hoop skirts and black veils - which I adopted later as well. I don't know if anyone still wears that style any more but - I'm getting nostalgic myself now :D
Really interesting to see what your experiences were in the 90s, and to compare that to how it was here in Germany.
My day just got better the moment I got a notification ❤
Awwww! 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤
I've bought "upcycled" tie dye slip dresses off ebay. I'm obsessed with them. Upcycling is definitely a skill.
I’ve been binge watching your videos lately since I’ve been getting into the goth music and I’m so excited there’s a new upload :))
I'm glad you're having fun! Check out the spotify goth playlist SUBVERSION. Great songs on there.
I have a white one that I love. I was going to dye it but I really like the contrast when I wear a black bra, lace shirt, stockings, and leather jacket with it. I do want to find a shear black one or one that I could dye. I still prefer thrifting, diy-ing, and making things because nobody has that exact item then. It’s cool that there’s nice first hand items that look cool without any work, but they are often expensive and sometimes I can’t bring myself to spend the money when I’m used to buying clearance fabric and ‘fill a bag for $1’ thrifting. I feel the same way about things like after pay and any unnecessary payment plans and credit purchases. I have a fear of debt, so I just avoid it as much as possible.
yeah we did and I still do, that's the first place I hit when I go to any thrift store, Amvets always has a great selection in their undergarment section.
I love the undergarments section!
This is interesting,because I´ve been finding slips and using them as tops without knowing others were doing it too. I am little bit loner and goth scene is almost dead in my country so I wouldnt know otherwise. Thanks for the video
Isn't it weird how we all subconsciously gravitate to the same things?
I started dressing “goth”ish when I was about 13 (2002-3) and would wear some of my moms old lingerie from the 80s ha, except it was paired with strange jc penny pinstripe skirts etc because that’s what I had, and around that time I would steal from the Salvation Army (I know.. but I didn’t have any money, I was the poor) but the main styles I was looking for were like “90s club kid” a la “deee lite” etc, they were so easy to find back then, I was a bit ahead of my time with that one ha I wish I hadn’t gotten rid of all that stuff: ( so many silver and lime green mini dresses and fuzzy purses etc
I no longer really wear those styles because of body image issues etc : / but I still thrift basically all of my clothing, I pay for it now though obviously haha
I still haveand wear some of my slip dresses. Recently I got lucky at my local thrift store and found a beautiful slip in the palest pink. It's amazing and even though most of my wardrobe is black I'm thinking I may keep it this color.
Throwing in a little color here and there really amps it up. Match the makeup to the color.
@@angelabenedict Definitely! I'm sure I have an eyeshadow shade that will pair well with it. I'll probably throw on a fishnet top and tights underneath and my leather jacket to make it a little more me.
Please do a diy of the slip dress bust! I would love that 🖤
I have a Salem t-shirt that I want to make into a dress so I might use that!
I love thrifting. It feels like a treasure hunt for me. My husband is always surprised how easily I find things that suit my style or that I can make to fit my style.
I'm jealous that you had access to these pieces!
In my high school goth phase id always look through the sleepwear section of goodwill for a good black lacy slip dress. They're so versatile for layering
I was soooo lucky back in the day...my mother was s seamstress/designer/costume creator.....I learned how to sew early since my mother didn't really had time to teach me and even less time to do it for me 🙂
I was going to the clubs in the 90’s and i’d get real creative with lingerie paired with a lot of lace sweaters and every once in awhile i’d save up for expensive corsets, loved seeing everyone look and creativity! 😎Thanks for Sharing!!! my worst experience was buying a latex shirt and boy was that uncomfortable! 🖤
tysm for making this vid! I love slips sfm and yesss we need a diy on the fishnets and how to make an outfit out of these! plsss 🖤
also, where did you get that black corset with the white slip at the end? I've been needing to buy one and trust you lol
Girl how do you get your make up so glowy?! I love it!
I loved this ♥️ Can you plz do some DIY’s 🙏🏻 I have an amazing black vintage lace bodice and trim slip. I also have that lace witchy sleeve bolero top you have too. 🖤
Yes please on the bust line tutorial! 😊
I feel like with some good washing and the chemicals from dyes the stains would be well rendered harmless. Especially if you use a dye you have to do with boiling hot water.
I was never fond of slips as dresses in the 90's but that is more how they wore them in mainstream. Just the one and it was usually some kind of print. I am a sucker for black lace and silk though. Especially now. Might have to try my hand as a slip dress look.
My college town had a great thrift store. I bought a long and very heavy men’s wool coat for a dollar! I got more compliments on that coat than anything I’ve ever owned! Even my mother liked it: she went out and got herself one!
Thrifting and dying is still very fun to do. The hunt for the grail piece is the best part of it all. This is the key to nailing the trad aesthetic
Always love watching the throwback goth girl fashion. I was born in 91 so I was a 90s kid but I wish I was a teen in the 90s lol
I'm quite sure i remember my older sister asking my mom for a negligee or like a flouncy robe from the thrift storewhen we were much younger and she was so mad, and refused to buy it for her lmao. Also my senior prom dress (which was from hot topic in 2012 lol) was definitely based off of these kinds of lingerie dress looks. Its a long see thru skull lace slip dress, that had a plain black shorter slip for underneath. I think my dates parents probably wanted to splash some holy water at me lmao. My juinor prom dress was an actual 90s slip dress that i fully re vamped, re made the neck line, added trim and tailored all before i had a sewing machine, i was so freaking proud. I really wish i had held onto that one.
vintage stores were really cheap in the 90's as well as the thrift shops even in places like portland OR and minneapolis. I was able to find long wool trench coats and more for like 20 bucks in those days. the diy fashion of the era was pretty amazing across genres even.
Is it possible if you can also make a video on how to dye slips ? I’m trying to get more into diy and I’ve made many bad diy attempts with clothes in the past when 5 years ago when I was 15 .
I remember some of my girlfriends wearing that look in the 80's and 90's and they looked amazing.
I still have a few of my early 00s slips that Taissa Lada modded out. They’re too small now but I cherish them
I had to learn how to sew because my skin is sensitive to fabric dye. organic clothing is super expensive and basic looking, so alas I get organic black fabric in bulk & make stuff even though my adhd fights me tooth and nail about how long it takes lol
but gosh I'm lucky that my source sells black lace and ribbon and mesh it's a miracle
Love the name "Religious Sex", lol. So beautiful
That's a time travel, even if we didn't have exactly the same. But you needed use your imagination.
We have an old underwear company that back in days were very popular to make bargains from when they hade their rare sales. They were prizy original (still are), but we all looked for the perfect pieces. Specially the "fake underwear corsets".
Would love see diy from you. Cause I love those videos.
You are always so stylish.
Stay safe gorgeous Angela 🦇🖤🖤🖤🖤🦇
You look incredible. I love Vandal Moon! 🖤🦇
Would love to see how you do that bust line
Yessss to more diy content! ❤
DIY!
Vintage corselettes made by Playtex are as rare as hen's teeth now but a company like Kate's clothing do dresses that mimic them complete with suspenders.
Hey angela, do you know what fabric is the black slip you own made of? It's absolutely gorgeous and I'd love to recreate it one day. Finding vintage items were I live is pretty hard, most things in thrift shops are 10 yo max
I have a bunch of my mum’s old slips, but I don’t like wearing a few of them because the lace is so scratchy. I don’t know why I never thought to layer them 🤦
Yup, get a slip right under that lace. The fabric is thin enough for layers.
Very creative times and still can be
I find this inspiring
love your insight on the subject
Thank you!
Wow what an insane beautiful speaking voice and absolute princess of beauty!
