Okay, so I’ve been wanting to spice things up a bit, you know, in the bedroom. And I’ve always been drawn to the darker, more alternative aesthetic. So, I thought, why not try some goth lingerie? I live in the UK, so I started my little mission to find the perfect pieces.
First, I hit up Google, just typing in “goth lingerie UK”. Honestly, it was a bit overwhelming at first. Lots of different styles and shops popped up.
I spent a good hour just scrolling through images and clicking on different websites, trying to get a feel for what was out there. I noticed a few things:
- Some “goth” stuff was really just black lace. Not exactly what I was going for.
- Others were super elaborate, with corsets and buckles and all sorts. A bit much for a Tuesday night, maybe!
- A few sites looked, uh, a little sketchy. I definitely steered clear of those.
Digging Deeper
After that initial search, I refined my search terms.I tried things like “alternative lingerie UK,” “dark aesthetic lingerie,” and even “Victorian goth lingerie” to see if I could find something more specific.
I stumbled upon some smaller, independent shops that way, which was cool. They seemed to have more unique pieces, not just the same stuff everyone else was selling.
I also started looking at images on social media platform. That helped me see how the lingerie actually looked on real people, not just models. Plus, I found some cool brands that I hadn’t seen in my initial search.
It took a few days of on-and-off searching, but finally, I found a few pieces I really liked. A black velvet and lace bralette, a high-waisted panty with some strappy details, and a sheer robe with some dramatic sleeves. Perfect!
I double-checked the size charts, read some reviews, and placed my order. Now, waiting for it to arrive is the hardest part!
It was a bit of a journey, honestly, but a fun one. I learned that finding exactly what you want takes a little time and effort, but it’s totally worth it in the end. I’m really excited to try everything on and see how it looks! I’m going to feel great!
