Today's random Gothy Nostalgia Burbling

I miss the Newport News catalog.

Specifically, I miss the autumn 2006-2007 catalog. That was the one with AAAAAALLLLL the romantigoth/neo-Victorian things. Short mandarin-collared velvet jackets! The infamous velvet military coat that I swear every single one of us gothy ladies owned! Lace blouses with ascots! Cotton gauze blouses with high collars and ruffles! Everything in black, ivory, and burgundy!

Yes, I know, Newport News is now under the Spiegel umbrella. But they haven't made anything in years like they did in those seasons, and I still haven't found good replacements for some of the items that have finally (finally!) frayed and fallen apart.

EDITED TO ADD: Seriously, if any of you have this blouse in a size 14 in ivory or black, and you want to get rid of it, TELL ME. It is one of my Perfect Blouses.

Okay, I'm telling you. In black. (And also purple but I figure you don't want that one.) Along with some pink things that I figured I'd give you first crack at. It's all in with the potential swap/sale event for January.

Whoo! Thank you!

How dark a purple on the other one? Would it work for overdying with red to get a dark wine color?
