Seriously, it's so much more easier to type it into a search engine & look on there, than start a completely new thread.

Maj.Bromley · 09-17-2006, 12:47 PM

Yes, yes it is Sin.

Thank you Maj.Bromley.

All I can say is, if it's gonna be expensive on the Internet, it's likely it's gonna be expensive in a shop. Actually I doubt that because I have found waaay cheaper clothes online than my local 'goth shop' which over prices everything by about 40 pounds. Anyways there thousands of sites with lists of shops on & all you have to type into google is 'Gothic Clothing Stores Milton Keynes'. Come on it isn't that hard. I looked everywhere on google before daring to start a thread asking for whereabouts of Vinatge clothing. & if it comes to the crunch of not finding any local m'dear you may well have to span out.

Here's the best tip you'll ever get:

If you looking for a specific article of clothing, in which case just type the clothe in Google, but adding "cheap" before the word, or "inexpensive" if you do not want to sound... well... cheap XD
Example: "Oh, I need a cravat". *Types 'cheap cravates' in Google.

If you are not looking for a specific article, why would you be looking for "gothic" clothes anyway?
Wouldn't you be submitting your identity to the first three searches in Google within your price range?
So, online, don't ever type "Gothic Clothes". Instead, type A kind of gothic clothes (coats, boots, etc.). Who knows? Maybe you'll discover a site that sells something non-goth that looks even more "gothic" than your local Hot Topic, or beautiful yet overpriced Drac-in-a-box.

In conclusion, it's better to look in internet than find a Hot Topic or a Hot Topic want-to-be (oh, the irony!)
But even online, don't be giving up your own self-image to what the Internet says is goth.

Thank you for the tips I shall have a search now

Oh and about hot topic we dont have one here I think there only in America, and if there are some in England there isnt any round here.

In England, I don't know how far from London you live, but you could maybe make a little trip. I've always wanted to visit Candem market.

It's great there, even if it's a little pricey. You'll always find something good. There's an amazing corset shop up there, Fairy Goth Mother. Very expensive but probably the best shop for corsets in England.

Cool, I live about half an hour away from there and my aunt works in London so she could probably drop me off, and when she finishes we could meet up and she could take me home. I dont think i'll be getting a corstet though I have not quite finished growing yet so it wouldn't last long and I have no curves at all, great idea though.

Well definitely have a look at some of the stalls & The Black Rose or Darkside. They've got some nice stuff in those two shops.

OMG.

*jealous*

I'm about ten hours away from it.

Ooh but you live in Scotland! I went to a ridiculously low priced shop in Glasgow! It selled pretty much the same stuff as most of Camden, but soooo cheap. I found a dress in there for 22 pounds, on the internet you can get it for 40 & in my local 'goth shop' 60 pounds. Now you cannot say that is not a good deal!
