Le Professeur Gothique's Monthly Homework Assignment: "I Forgot I Even Own This!"


When Le Professeur Gothique posts a new homework assigment I do it straight away. Sadly I've been very down lately, so my contribution is a little late.
Also, I have absolutely nothing hidden in my wardrobe! I recently moved, so I went through all my old clothes and did a sort out. My old clothes were from my baby bat days, so they weren't very attractive.
Luckily I have something that I rarely get to wear.

Victorian!
Skirt: Made by me
Shirt: DIY by me
Corset: Vollers


I used to wear long skirts all the time, but then I got used to shorter skirts. It's also a bit hard to dance in a long skirt.
I think the main reason I don't wear this is because it's hot.
I made the skirt from a Vogue pattern that my friend gave me. It's a bustle skirt.
The shirt I customised from a mans shirt and I added lace to the cuffs and neck.

I'm not a fan of this corset. I bought it years ago ($400) but I don't like overbust corsets because my boobs aren't big enough to fit them properly.


This hat I got from a fancy dress store. I've only worn it out once! I guess it's because I feel naked without my big hair.



Cameo. No idea where I got this from.



I'm pretending to be Theda Bara :)

Wednesday Wants- Retroscope Edition

Oh yeah, I'm still being lazy. I've purchase a CRAP LOAD of clothes from Yours Clothing and Evans. When they arrive I will do a big review on everything I got. I also purchased the zombie handbag I've been wanting.

Anyway, today I'm doing a small bit on the web store Retroscope, which sells Victorian and Lolita type clothing.
I used to look at this website for ages, wishing I had enough money to buy something.

ALSO: The image uploader is playing around on me, so I can't put up another item that I was going to. Sorry about that.

 Black Victorian Grand Dame Blouse. Retroscope Fashions, $64.95usd. It's very impossible for me to find a nice girly blouse. The only one I have is a converted men's shirt with lace stitched to the cuffs that I made myself. I would love something like this.



Gothic Aristocrat Chiffon Skirt. Retroscope Fashions, $99.99usd? How lovely is this skirt? It's pretty cheap too. I love the layers and I can imagine it with a corset and flowy top.
