HELLO I AM ON NEWS BLACKOUT TODAY. ( Read more... ) However, I support everyone who has been brave enough to speak up and out. I also support folks who can't bring themselves to talk about it.

With that depressing comment out of the way, let me witter at you about clothes! A month or so ago, I won an auction for a vintage skirt & polonaise made by my beloved Kambriel! Someone was clearing out things they didn't wear, and I lucked out. It's dark burgundy taffeta with black lace, and even though the listed measurements were slightly too small, I figured I could either wear it with a corset, or pay Kambriel to add an extra panel somewhere.
It arrived today. It fits. It fits without a corset. It will fit BEAUTIFULLY with a corset. That's my outfit for Vampire Ball 2019 sorted, then! (I'll obviously need to figure out accessories and whatnot, but that's easy.)
ALSO - these really are vintage. The labels are for Kambriel's original business name, Atrocities. Let me wave my hands in eldergoth glee!
