For the Gypsy In All Of Us

[GothicRavenGoddess (3)]

So, recently, I described my general look as a "100 year old gypsy woman, who tripped over a 20 year old goth, and rolled down hill with said 20 year old goth" (Which is a hilarious mental image, by the way... ) I was looking up fashions that I love and it hits me: I'm often looking up medieval fashion, "elven" fashions, goth, punk, ect... but I never look up "gypsy" stuff...

Well, I typed in "gypsy clothing" into Google (the ONLY search engine I use), and I came across this site:

I don't know if anyone's ever talked about this site, but OMG, the clothes are amazing. Some is a bit cheesy, but man!!!

Clicking the pictures will take you to the detail site for each item. There's tons more stuff there, so if you like it, post something you've found.

nice shoes

There used to be a boutique of the same name in downtown Walled Lake, that sold similar clothing and accessories. I wonder if it's the same one?

I must have that skirt. I'm afraid to even look at the price.

[Msterbeau]

You ladies take the clothes (Which are quite lovely) and I'll take the model.

[AstralCrux]

So pretty and so expensive.... I want to make those pants now thanks.

[jynxxxedangel]

Here's the basic pattern...just add some crocheted lace to the hem.

[Tyger]

WOW..... even the "sale pants" were $198...

Yeah, its all VERY expensive! Even little things are a lot.

[Oh_My_Goth]

Easy clothes to make.. I need to make those pants

[Rev.Reverence]

Yeah...very easy...

[pomba gira]

I made the mistake of looking at the prices. In a way it's a relief... if the skirt was, say, $100 I'd have to plot how to get it. But at those prices I don't even have to worry about it.

[Simon Bar Sinister]

such beautiful clothes...but fuck, are they kidding with the prices?!

[GothicRavenGoddess (3)]

I don't agree with some of the pricing, but in some cases, I understand why they are so much. Read the blurbs under each item. Some of those things are made with vintage antique clothing or similar stuff. Doesn't make it right for them to make something almost $200, though....

I love this stuff... I wants it all lol the fabrics, all of it. I'd wear this stuff every day, if I could (covering my tummy, of course, until I was skinny again lol) but yeah. Even the stuff that is weird looking, I think it beautiful.

Product Detail

The Attic Collection-Irma La Douce Skirt--The ultimate one-of-a-kind gypsy skirt from Gypsy Moon...the over-skirt is apple green silk, the bottom half of a flapper dress that had a ripped bodice. It's sprinkled with antique sequins and pastes that are dark and mysterious, without being flashy. The many under-skirts are all silk chiffon and taffeta in a magical rainbow of shadowy colors and it's finished with an Edwardian silk velvet rose, amazingly beautiful after all these years. The stretch velvet waistband will fit up to size 10 and maybe larger but we know it was large on a size 6.

There will be no more of these skirts, ever...so better grab it while you can!

Shown with a custom one of kind Marinero Top and Gloves, an Edwardian sterling silver filigree belt and circa 1930s hat..all items available, please contact us for more information

$1800.00

I've been doing some more looking, and I found another site. Some of the stuff isn't as pretty, but its decent stuff lol

I kinda like some of the stuff there...

The Silver Lining Boutique

It looks like its a store in the making.

I feel that it's important that we all take a look at a rear view of that first ensemble:

The "made with antique stuff" bit makes it even worse. Almost $2k for something that's very likely to shred itself the first time I wear it? Really, now.

Ahhhh! Thank you for this link. I seriously gasped when I seen the first photo.

This site has some cheaper stuff. Not quite as cool but it also has a mix of New Age and other fashions and accessories.
