how i would love to run errands in a hat, and outfit, like that.

[staxxy.livejournal.com]

I love that jacket. I totally need some similar.

[spectralbovine.livejournal.com]

Have fun buying asparagus and strawberries!

[cupcake-goth.livejournal.com]

I'll have you know I bought neither. So there.

[spectralbovine.livejournal.com]

Puh. You're not a Real Goth^TM.

[cupcake-goth.livejournal.com]

But I am a Goth Legend^TM! The teevee said so!

[spectralbovine.livejournal.com]

Television never lies!

[rikibeth.livejournal.com]

Is the skirt from a particular pattern? Did you make modifications? Or is it something you drafted yourself? I need a skirt like that, and I have a sewing machine!

[cupcake-goth.livejournal.com]

A pattern I drafted from one of my Retroscope skirts. But it's very similar to this "Victorian" bustle skirt tutorial on the steamfashion community: http://community.livejournal.com/steamfashion/791377.html

[rikibeth.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

[graveylump.livejournal.com]

yay for sewing! that takes some tallent

[semy-of-pearls.livejournal.com]

Gah! I'm going into sugar shock from the sweetness! BEAUTIFUL!

Oft I have wondered: do you wear a corset every day, or just on special occasions? And if you do, is it a full corset or an underbust?

[cupcake-goth.livejournal.com]

I generally only wear a corset for events or club-going. (For example, I'm nor corseted in this photo.)

I wear both underbust and overbust corsets, depending on what outfit I have planned.

[schwarze-krahe.livejournal.com]

Have been able to wear the coat you got from me?

[cupcake-goth.livejournal.com]

I have! And, er, gave it a dyebath, so now it is a pink & black striped blazer. :)

[ms-tate.livejournal.com]

Absolutely adorable!

I've been looking for a jacket just like that but my size has been illusive.

[cupcake-goth.livejournal.com]

Keep an eye out for my clothing sale post. I have another, similar B&W striped blazer that I've decided to part with. ;-)

[ms-tate.livejournal.com]

Ooooooo! Clappy Hands!

[logospilgrim.livejournal.com]

*applause*

[nekusagi.livejournal.com]

So cute!

[tommicat.livejournal.com]

I really adore your outfit. You look wickedly cute especially with your ruffled skirt!

[primitivepeople.livejournal.com]

I suspect you've acquired squillions of LJ friends since you appeared in Spotlight, so I hope you don't mind one more. You're the sort of person who HAS to be on my friends list! The voices told me so!

Oh, nice outfit, btw. :)

[shinimegami7.livejournal.com]

This! the journal was so cute i just had to friend it :D

and i work at a bookstore so i'm going to have to hunt your book down now D: must read goth-y goodness.

[syntheticka.livejournal.com]

Wow, you look positively gorgeous! I'd love to run errands in an outfit like that!

[paprykaspice.livejournal.com]

Where do you find your top hats?
I've had friends asking and I thought I'd ask the one person that would actually know!

[cupcake-goth.livejournal.com]

I usually get my full-size top hats (like the one in the photo) from Display & Costume Supply, and then decorate them as the whim strikes me. My usual top hat is a black wool "Dickens Caroler" -style top hat.

[paprykaspice.livejournal.com]

Can you only get them in black? I'm looking to getting a purple one.
Thank you so much for your help!

[princess-lilam.livejournal.com]

Stunning and I love the necklace. I love cameo's and this one is just a modern twist on it. The top hat is ever so smart!!

[fenrirhyde.livejournal.com]

Adorable! Lovely Coat :3

[sorrowful-eagle.livejournal.com]

You look amazing!

Wish I had the guts (and money) to dress like this outside work...

[bijouxdejais.livejournal.com]

I like the balance of pink, black and white. Like the jacket especially...I'm really into stripes lately myself.

[mina5643.livejournal.com]

Ooh! I love that jacket! Is it new, or do great minds simply think alike? ;]

[ghostworld00.livejournal.com]

I love it.

[miss-miserabla.livejournal.com]

That's beautiful! When I say this picture I immediately thought of this (http://www.playbillstore.com/mapobrmupahe2.html).

Isn't it great? I want one. ;___;

[cupcake-goth.livejournal.com]

::screams::

oooh, I didn't know they made a replica of her umbrella! Well, that goes straight onto the "covet covet covet" list ...

[pinkmatty.livejournal.com]

I love your style... <3

[ex-mesomeris920.livejournal.com]

Congrats on getting spot-lighted. :)

[wickedsnicket.livejournal.com]

Lovely as always!

I was reminded of you recently when I had to explain that I do not wear costumes *politely of course!*

[tutneko.livejournal.com]

You look amazing, I love that Beetlejuice blazer. I'm trying to make one, but I just can't seem to get the fabric I want in the proper design and threadcount.

You have a good time at the shops.

[jaborwhalky.livejournal.com]

can I tell you just how odd it is to see your icon at the bottom of my home page on LJ.
Its like "Why is Jills LJ there OH YA!"

lol

And one day I will steal all your striped jackets and run away to mexico ...

[shaexx.livejournal.com]

You're so beautiful! I love your style. And I love the idea of a Gothic Charm School. Kill them with kindness! :D

[allbottledup.livejournal.com]

You are an adorable lady! I'm so into gothic stuff. I just purchased my new cell phone and had to jazz it up with skulls and crossbones wallpaper and black & grey colors. He he.

I'm definitely joining. Feel free to add me back. :)
