I thought the first outfit was fine, but the second was so ugly I wanted to throw up.

Hmm...I probably could make those outfits for $30...
They certainly seem more goth than costum-y, and I don't really know what to think about it. It seems like a bit of stolen identity, but they're really cool at the same time and may open a doorway to a new generation.

Those outfits are so much cooler than what I was expecting.
Last Halloween--Wal*Mart. I kid you not. In the costume section, one of the sets was goth. They sold pre-tattered fishnet stockings and gloves, "goth/punk/raver" wigs, (that's what it said on the package) and black vinal dresses to complete the outfit. Oh, and goth makeup kits next to the vampires and zombies.
I know a girl who actually was a goth for Halloween. That was confusing.
I never did decide whether I was amused or offended.
But Lillian Vernan's gothy outfits aren't labeled goth, and are gothier much much cooler than what Wal*Mart had. So go Lillian Vernon.

OverlordMMM hmm......this sounds like an interesting way to get good-looking stuff cheaply....heh....and then....EBAY..... ....anyway....I might look into this...... Halloween costumes are always such cheap fabric, though... I don't think they're even made to withstand more than a few uses.

♥-♥-♥
&& IF THERE IS NO LIGHT TO SPARE
I SHALL LOVE HIM AT THE SPEED OF DARK
yeah, I noticed this when I got the catalog. x3
obviously, halloween && darker things (coughgothythings) go hand in hand.
but I'm just gonna be undead Kairi, anyways, soo.
^___^
I just can't spoil the costume itself, seeing as how I need it for Sakura-Con....
dilemmas, dilemmas....
(I <3 the monster bride costume,
but that was the only one in the catalog I liked. X3)

o.0
not sure if I should smile or cry. It's depressing somehow. Cute but...I fear this kind of cute. burning_eyes
It could have bad side-effects (see: all the comments about reinforcing the old "it's not Halloween" blah blah, etc).

Some of those costumes are actually cute, but for Halloween though, they're for a holiday, not for daily use unless the kid wanted too. But I found costume patterns for those similar costumes and they could probably be made for cheaper, if you put the work into it. And better quality too.

I liked the second costume but yeah I hate it when mainstream commercialism takes goth culture into its clutches.
Like with that soda commercial. It's like "oh haha it's a goth how funny/cute" let's buy it.

Today while browsing Butterick's site to find a pattern for my next sewing project, I came across a "goth costume" for adults. The "costume" is absolutely stunning, and has me drooling over the pattern. However, this makes me wonder, is it a good thing that such costumes are being marketed as such, when for some they are everyday clothing? I'm unsure wether to take it as a harmless little thing, and a sign that the image of goth is becoming less taboo and dangerous seeming, or if I should be irritated and view this as poking fun at goths. However, a lot of times gothy clothing is percieved as being costumey. Throughout the month of October, I have to deal with strangers complimenting me on my 'costume' when I'm dressed the same way as I do the other eleven months of the year. But I shouldn't complain. If such comments iffitated me that badly, I'd just trade in my velvet gowns for *gasp* jeans and tee shirts! Either way, I think I'll take a neutral stance on the issue, and just enjoy my so-called 'costume' once I get the pattern and fabric for it.
