Best goth shops ont the Net
I've been serching the forum high and low, but I couldn't find any thread on just this topic. It's not a competition, and it doesn't feel like spam, it's a constatly updating version of the somewhat dead lists of goth shops on the net.
So people, what is your favourite store? And why is it your favourite? Is it the service, the clothing, the stuff, the quality, quantity(sp?) or just the whole aestetic?
Go wild

To the previous posters - are these shops you have actually bought goods from?

I have not personally purchased from Fairy Goth Mother, but I know people who have and who have been very satisfied with their results.

Oh, I also maybe should have put a disclaimer on it... There's nothing terrible on the first page, but the underbust corsets can get a little racy.
Basically, it's a site for corsets.

"93,000 Euro(s) = 121,086 US Dollar(s)"

For the online shopper, currency converters are your best friend.
Oh, and Arias? You should probably go to the introduction section and introduce yourself.

You misread me. The site states 93,00 euro for a single jacket. I was wondering if they ment 93.00 but all of the prices are like that. do they just use comas instead of periods?

If it's a German site then EUR 93,00 = EUR 93.00 . Can you point me to the jacket you're looking at?

That site seems to be an Austrian site. And they do the same as the Germans - using commas instead of 'periods'.
A bit expensive for shipping, I reckon...

Oops! Yes, I think that's often the case, but I don't shop overseas often to know for sure. You're probably better off listening to Morrigan.

I think Jadeddreads is aussie, but I'm not sure.
I've been to some australian ones, but I can't remember.
By the way, industrial is gray, olive, black or camo. Bondage, although nice, has nothing to do with it. In fact, it's usually associated with trendy little Cybergoths.

www.galleryserpentine.com - An Australian site (their actual store is in Sydney) with beautiful corsets and Victorian inspired clothing. I've ordered from them twice and they haven't disappointed me yet.
www.necromance.com - Not clothing per se, but this shop is AWESOME for accessories and any weird little item you can imagine. They're based in Hollywood, CA on Melrose Ave. If you're ever in the area definitely check out their shop, it's like a museum in there. If you can't make it there though they sell most of their things online. I ordered from them once with no troubles.
Others I recommend (for both beautiful clothing and reliability):
www.dracinabox.com
www.thedarkangel.co.uk

It's not really on the net, but a great shop for gothic clothing is H&M. They often have basics that work well for anything, as well as beautiful lace, satin, and velvet clothing in tons of colours. Black is very popular at H&M.
