Another two goth DIYs since people liked the last one. I can’t remember if I’ve shared these here or not. You need to be able to have a vision at a thrift store and I hope this will help you develop an eye for possibilities.
First photo: Loose linen top I thrifted, removed embellishments from, and dyed black. Loose linen clothing is excellent for hot weather, and I often will buy linen clothing when thrifting regardless of color, because it can always be dyed. I’ve dyed many linen pieces black now and have found that fiber reactive dyes yield more consistent results for black than standard off the shelf dye like RIT do. I’m also wearing some scraps of lace tied around my wrist in that photo, as a way to create something bold and black around my wrist without the heaviness of leather
Second photo: t-shirt dress thing I thrifted, dyed black, cut the neckline out of, and created a net piece for the shoulder by knotting thread together. I ended up cutting the neckline too big and the net piece helps keep it on my shoulder. A lot of people asked how I made that part, and its just string knotted together in a series of overhand knots and then sewn onto the fabric
