Okay, so I’ve been on this huge gothic kick lately, and my wardrobe was seriously lacking. I decided I needed to find some killer gothic dresses, and since I’m in the UK, I wanted to see what was available locally. So, I dove in!
First, I just started with some broad searches. I typed “gothic dresses UK” into my search bar and just started browsing. I wanted to get a feel for what styles were out there, what kind of prices I was looking at, and what stores popped up repeatedly.
I spent a good chunk of time just scrolling through images and clicking on anything that caught my eye. I noticed a lot of variety, from super elaborate Victorian-inspired gowns to more casual, everyday dresses with gothic touches like lace or buckles.
The Hunt
Then, I started to get a bit more specific. I had a few ideas in mind, like:

- I wanted a long, flowing dress for special occasions.
- I also wanted something shorter and more practical for everyday wear.
I modified my searches, adding things like “long gothic dress UK” and “casual gothic dress UK” to narrow things down. This helped me find some really cool stuff that was more aligned with what I was actually looking for.I tried “black lace gothic dress UK”.
I also started to pay more attention to the names of the shops that were coming up in the results. I made a mental note of a few that seemed promising and had a good selection of the styles I liked.
I was able to find dresses.
