The need-to-sells:
Fan+Friend Gothic Bias Dark Princess Dress/JSK Replica (or re-brand) $70
Size: "16" - approx 38" bust, 30" waist, hips are free size - has a little give in size thanks to ribbon ties
I purchased this from Raven in Canberra in May last year. I bought it as a Raven-made replica of the dress I had been longing for, but a few things (the sizing, the fact that the care label is not in English) made me think it was a case of switching tags around. In fact, there is absolutely no difference between the F+F dress and the Raven one. Of course, I felt a little jipped. HOWEVER - this dress is barely worn and has been washed since. It makes a lovely addition as a casual jsk , over your favourite blouse and that pair of skinny jeans.
(Proof of Ownership) I am very willing to supply any more photos you might want, or answer any questions about this piece.
Off-brand Lace-Up Black Knee-high Boots - Size 8 AU - $35
Originally bought for close to $100AUD, these shoes have been through the wars and are in reasonable condition considering. The soles are fairly scuffed up (here, here and here) but could easily be fixed with a little black shoe polish or paint. They are so very comfy, but I have no call for them since I bought myself a replacement pair more suitable for work.
Off-Brand Vintage leather anklet boots with Pewter(?) buckles and trim - Size 7-7.5 AU - $60

(Side View)
These shoes were an impulse buy from the reputable Canberra vintage clothing store Landspeed Records. I had them in mind for a dandy/kodona look. They were supposedly made in the 1970s and are in a practically unworn condition. Sadly, they are half-a-size too small for me.
Handmade Stiff Petticoat - $5

Size: waist 28"-34" comfortably, length 17"
This petti is handmade from polyester tulle with a thick elastic waistband. It was a little too long on me, but it could be shortened easily. Perfect for tall lolis!
(Off-brand) Peace Angel Cutsew - Black- $30

Size: tagged Medium, but I would say around a size 8-10 AU, 6-8 US. Ribbon ties can be adjusted.
Bought from Tree of Life last year, and it just didn't suit me. Would look great worn with a bustle skirt.
Off-Brand zippy, buckle-y cutsew - $10

Size: About an 8 AU/6 US.
This was given to me by a friend, but it just doesn't fit me or my style.
(Off-Brand) ICE corset/bustier - $20

Size: tagged as large. Fully laced up at the back, it fits a size 10AU perfectly, but can go up to about a 14AU.
(Off-Brand) Endless Spirit Brown/Gold Pinstripe Bustier - $10

Size: 10AU, 8US
This has a lot of potential when teamed with an off-white blouse and the right brown skirt. Very slimming and cute - just a zip-up top with a little plastic boning for shape.
Size: "16" - approx 38" bust, 30" waist, hips are free size - has a little give in size thanks to ribbon ties

Date: 2009-06-22 08:42 am (UTC)they also have some skirts that the Erin (the chick who owns the store) has made. they are very simple though for the price but still they arent bad.
just be aware if you go in there basically there is only black. dont expect to find anything but gothic lolita and questionable gothic lolita at that. sometimes you get lucky though.

black petticoat and brocade bustier
Date: 2009-06-22 06:17 am (UTC)also, does the bustier have steel or plastic boning?
finally, do you have an image of the petticoat worn?
Re: black petticoat and brocade bustier
Date: 2009-06-22 08:41 am (UTC)The bustier has plastic boning, anything tougher would tear the fabric, which is cotton with a lace overlay.
These are just two quick pics of the petticoat, one under my F+F jsk and the other over my clothes. http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b80/SorceressKitty/000_0009.jpg http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b80/SorceressKitty/000_0008.jpg
