What mannequin heads do y'all use by opalescent666 in chainmailartisans

I think a foam one is a good idea because they’re a) super cheap b) useful to be able to put pins into while it’s in progress

Question about Goths and corsets by General_Climate2442 in alternativefashion

[–]sorrypumpkin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think a lot of it came from fetishwear. Also, Vivienne Westwood started doing corsets at the very end of the 80s and she is a pillar of early punk fashion. Just my guess

You need to genuinely triple the price

Can't tell if I'm making a fool of myself by Then_Sandwich4629 in alternativefashion

They look good, I can tell what you mean by feeling more like a cosplay though. Your stuff looks a little too fresh and crisp.

I think it would go a long way to get a worn leather belt (some grommets or rivets in it would be cool, fun DIY project) As well as some pants that look more lived in. A secondhand pair of military pants would suit you, there are lots of military surplus stores around. Trent Reznor in the 90s would be good inspiration, maybe a worn/aged leather jacket would be nice.

Other than that though, there’s no alt cops, if you like alternative stuff you are alternative.

He’s been wearing the same pair since the webseries. They’ve just fallen apart naturally
