cupcake_goth | Help me, internets: the ghost of dresses past?

Ridiculous things I'm trying to find at the moment: remember the "twist" or "broomstick" lace dresses made by Nostalgia? Princess-seamed, full skirts, in short or long-sleeved versions, and they had a rayon slip with them? Also known as the lace dress that every goth girl owned in the 90s?

They're almost impossible to find online now! I'm trying to find long-sleeved ones in burgundy, gray/silver, and black. Yes, I have those exact dresses sitting in my closet right now; I need duplicates to alter for a wardrobe project, and I don't want to alter those ones. Well, especially the gray/silver one (for one thing,

cass404 would kill me, as that's the default dress I loan her for fancy events).

But I'm damned if I can find any of these dresses on eBay or Etsy for under $80-ish, and that's just ridiculous! I used to be able to find flocks of the dratted things any time I looked!

So, oh fellow Eldergoths and goth fashionistas: anyone seen these dresses around? Anyone have a burgundy or black one languishing in their closet that needs a good home? ::grin::

I was just wearing my black one yesterday and thinking about how I need to add 2 more rows of lacing to sculpt it better. But I will keep my eyes peeled whenever I am thrifting.
