you know how one of the fundamental rules of goth clubwear is “boots first, THEN corset”?
i feel like there needs to be a costume drama variant:
chemise first!!! THEN, and ONLY then, corset
you really wanna sweat all over the one undergarment you can’t beat and wring to within an inch of its life? NASTY
Lol wut? Boots last, you can’t dance in a too-tight corset and you’re gonna kick shit and fall off stairs if you’re tromping around half-naked in boots.
It’s for looks, not actual waist-training, geez, what are they teaching the baby bats? Be comfortable! We’re here to be comfortable outside of mainstream society! But either do your nails before or do them after your hair, corset, and boots, even if you have a quick-dry top-coat.
also… baby bats? lul wut yourself, that shit’s been a goth mantra since at least the heyday of alt.gothic.fashion. it was already Ye Olde Classique Rule in the earliest example google will cough up, and that’s from 1996.
I mean I've been at the periphery of the culture since '94 if we're gonna go there, but before that it was punks, hippies, and classic beatniks. Bad rule then, bad rule now, stairs exist. But dang, bud, chilling was my whole point!
