Okay, so I’ve been diving deep into the world of goth lingerie lately. It’s not just about black lace anymore, people! There’s a whole universe of styles and brands out there, and I wanted to find some that really spoke to my dark little heart. So, I started this whole project to document my findings, and here’s how it went.
First Steps: Getting My Bearings
First, I needed a game plan. I couldn’t just throw myself into the internet abyss without some direction. So I grabbed my trusty notebook and jotted down some keywords. Think things like “gothic lingerie,” “alternative lingerie,” “dark aesthetic clothing,” and even got more specific with “Victorian goth lingerie” and “witchy lingerie.”
Next, I created my own document and started documenting my findings.
The Deep Dive: Brand Hunting
Armed with my keywords, I hit up the search engines. I wasn’t just looking for the big, well-known brands. I wanted the hidden gems, the independent designers, the ones who get the goth vibe on a deeper level.
I spent hours scrolling through search results, clicking on anything that looked remotely interesting. I opened up tons of tabs, my browser practically groaning under the weight of all the dark and beautiful things I was finding.
I created a spreadsheet (because who doesn’t love a good spreadsheet?) and started categorizing everything. Columns for brand name, website, price range, aesthetic notes, and even a “must-buy” rating system (because priorities, right?).
Document All of My Searching
Then, I record all steps for all of my searching result. I listed all of the brand names and wrote some notes.
Filtering and Finalizing
After my initial search frenzy, I started narrowing things down. I revisited all those open tabs, taking a closer look at each brand’s aesthetic, materials, and sizing options. I really thought about which ones resonated with my personal style and which ones I could see myself actually wearing.
I crossed off some brands that didn’t quite fit the bill, and I highlighted the ones that stood out. I started checking and re-checking all of my steps.
Finally, I have a pretty solid list of goth lingerie brands that I’m genuinely excited about. It’s a mix of established names and up-and-coming designers, all with their own unique take on the dark and romantic aesthetic. And now, I shared my project!
