#plussize gothic fashion

I go back to black...

Throwback to decidedly warmer temperatures! I met up for Buchteln & chill (the sweet dish pictured above) with two of my friends and afterwards we went to goth club "Fledermaus" (literally translates to bat) for dancing. I had lots of fun with my friends ♥

My point of fashion was hearts on that day, and i accessorized accordingly. The Hello Kitty on my shoulder bag is wearing a heart eye patch, I'm wearing red heart ear studs and melting red heart hair pins as well as two heart necklaces - one with a sweet heart and one with an anatomical heart (made by a dear friend of mine). My black lace over-skirt is handmade (I'm wearing thrifted knee-length jersey pants underneath).

[Image description]Picture 1: A mirrored image of Amy (me). Amy is a white, young, fat woman with long brown hair worn in two braids and wears glasses. She's dressed in all black for a visit to the goth dance club, starting at the top with a black viscose top featuring rows of little silver crosses. They reflect prettily in the light! She's wearing thrifted knee-length jersey pants with a handmade lace over-skirt above, the skirt has been tied with a beautiful bow in the front. The over-skirt completely hides the fact that pants are also involved in her outfit. Black strappy sandals finish the look off, as well as pay homage to the heat. Her accessories are red and silver and follow a heart-theme. She's got melty heart hairclips in her hair, heart-shaped ear studs, two heart necklaces and the Hello Kitty on her little shoulder bag also wears a heart-shaped eyepatch. Hello Kitty is a pirate this time, complete with a ghostly glossy ship silhouette!

Picture 3: A closeups of Amy's (my) head. Her brown hair is adorned with two stacked glittery red melting heart hair pins. The heart theme is continued with red wooden heart ear studs.

Picture 4: A close-up of the two stacked necklaces Amy (me) is wearing. One has a small silver chain with a clasp and a dark blood red anatomical heart made from polymer clay on it. The second, longer, necklace has loops of silver wire connecting white pearls, with a big silver sweet heart pendant one it. The heart pendant is topped by a pretty little red bow made from satin ribbon.

Come and join our dance

Walking dead or sleeping dead? I was dead on my feet after the concert / mini-festival for sure! (5 bands for 6 hours.) Zombieball means Dance of the Zombies and fittingly happened on halloween!

Originally I planned to sew myself a new dress to attend this concert but couldn't find the motivation to start on that and then found out I had too little of the fabric I planned to use anyway. I decided to wear my Queen of Bats dress, the first lolita dress I've sewed a couple of years ago. Still absolutely in love with that stunning fabric!!

I wanted to coord it with red, because blood. Very vampire-ey! And because I don't wear my red platform boots enough. They're pleather and will eventually fall apart sooo I need to wear them before that happens. The boots are sadly not as comfortable as I'd like but not painful (at first) either.

Anyway. Going with my bloody vampire theme I made a new flower crown for the event. I absolutely love flower crowns and they are definitely a signature look for me. I had these gorgeous fabric flowers already, that look a bit wilted and decaying yet still very beautiful and ethereal. Which goes perfectly with the vampire theme if you ask me. I sewed the red flowers down on black elastic (so it blends in a bit with my brown hair. Brown elastic would be even better but I don't have that.) and closed the elastic into a loop.

I figured a pretty vampire/bat was costume-y enough. Besides I've attended the concert mainly to watch the band Lolita Komplex (friends of mine) and they incorporate lolita fashion aswell into their stage outfits. I like to wear lolita to see them to signal that I'm here for them.

I got many compliments for my dress and outfit on that night, which always makes me really happy. Especially because usually I'm rocking something beautifully handmade! A drunk woman at the bar also complimented me - and I shouted back along the lines of thank you, that's so nice, I'm happy and I made it myself. She was super amazed!!

This group of people also asked me what I'm dressed as and I said Queen of Bats, and when I left the venue one of them was also leaving and shouted: goodbye queen!

Last autumn my local lolita fashion community had a coven gathering for Halloween. One of our friends is a talented photographer (hane.iro on instagram) and invited us to this witches themed shooting. It was so much fun!!

My witchy outfit is completely handmade and I just recently finished the blouse and gilet before the meeting. I've been meaning to make the gilet vest and finished it with the shooting in mind.

Die Vampire laden zum Tanz

I dressed as my favourite musical for the musical party at the end of September! My favourite musical is Tanz der Vampire (Dance of the Vampires) and of course I had to incorporate my Witches' vest into the outfit (because obviously) and red accents & accessories for a blood theme. My new red hair bows went well with that!!

Me and two friends (one doesn't want to be included in pictures) visited the musical party event held by the theatre company. They celebrate known cult musicals and introduce the new musical, that will be introduced this season. We got a sneakpeak for "Rock me Amadeus", a musical based on the life's story of one of Austrian's most famous rock stars Falco! After having lots of fun at the musical event we went to a nearby Japanese restaurant and had the most delicious food. Spy my yummy 3 courses: vegetable gyoza for a starter, green ramen noodles and a melon pan with azuki ice cream for dessert.

Outfit rundown:

- hair bows from Claire's

- red short- sleeved t-shirt (second hand for free)

- black lacy blouse over the t-shirt (second hand for free)

- handmade vest/ gilet

- handmade pointy black skirt (I randomly made this skirt a couple years ago in a spur of the moment. It's amazing!)

- black tights and booties

- black shoulder bag with red details and pentagram (forever in my collection) [there's also a black bat plushie hugging the bag but you can't really see that in the pictures]

[image description]Picture 1: Two young, white women posing together. One is thin, the other is fat. (I'm the fat one). Both have brown hair and wear it in two braids, though the thin woman has noticeably shorter braids and bangs. The fat woman has very long hair and thus braids, and is also wearing glasses (her friend has none). The young, fat, white woman (me) is wearing: a red t-shirt, with a black sheer lacey blouse on top. The shirt sleeves stop before the lace, so you have a bit of lace with only her arm underneath, which gives a pretty effect. Over the shirt and lace blouse (both thrifted) she's wearing a handmade vest with a witchy themed print on it. Her outfit continues with a black pointy circle skirt, with additional layers of tulle for decoration. The edges of the pointy skirt are also decorated with lace (because the answer to lace is always yes!). Black thights and booties finish the bottom off. For accessories she's got bright red velvet hairbows, a necklace with an anatomical heart on it, black lace fingerless gloves and a black hand-held fan.

Her thin friend next to her is wearing a brown beret, a cream-coloured blouse with red decorations and an embroidery-like print which features big roses. She's wearing a cameo brooch pinned to the neck of her blouse. Her outfit continues with a highwaist skirt in dark red (blood red maybe?) featuring a gorgeous fairy tale-esque/picture book-esque print showing scenes from the musical "Dance of the Vampires". It's not officially affiliated, but for fans of the musical it's clear where the inspiration came from. The picture book drawings even show the famous bed featuring in the scene of the "Carpe Noctem" song! White tights and black shoes with cute bows on them finish the outfit off.

Picture 2: A close-up candid picture of Amy (me) standing among the crowd watching the musical show on stage. She's turning around to look towards the picture taker and smiling.

Picture 3: A close-up candid picture of Amy (me) taken from behind. She's happily watching the musical show on the stage and quickly fanning herself with a black fan with white mountains drawn on it.

Picture 4: Amy (me) and her friend waiting in line for the musical flea market. One is thin, the other is fat. (I'm the fat one). Both have brown hair and wear it in two braids, though the thin woman has noticeably shorter braids and bangs. The fat woman has very long hair and thus braids, and is also wearing glasses (her friend has none). Their both dressed in gothic lolita fashion, with a vampire theme. (For a detailed description of their clothes, check picture 1 please.)

Picture 5: The delicious Japanese food I've had! On top of the collage of pictures are the surprisingly big vegetable gyoza, followed by a bib beautiful ramen bowl, with noodles, green vegetables, spring onions, sprouts and a juicy egg. The third image shows dessert: a melon pan, which has been cut open, with a big scoop of azuki ice cream inside, with some azuki bean sauce, an orange slice and mint for garnish.[/image description]
