I made the rainbow flag using textures from 1970s comic books! the first one is from covers, second one is newsprint pages!

listen i do not mean this in a furry way at all and i know the actual tread of this would be ass but let me say. i would very much like it if there were boots that made animal tracks instead of boot tracks. i just think thatd be neat

If I obtain all of these then i can finally become mothman and reach peak gender euphoria

NEW AND IMPROVED PLUS SIZE FRIENDLY GOTH/ALT CLOTHING BRANDS

hopefully with no broken links this time

disclaimer(s): i primarily dress femme, so that’s the side of the internet i know. i will do my best to advise masc dressers where to shop, but i guess it really depends on the person! if i see, say, a non-girly button down shirt on the “”””women’s”””” side of things, i will say there are “limited” masc options in the interest of not cutting down on what mascs can potentially wear. if you’re masc and would prefer not to look in “”women’s”” clothing i totally get it, just know i included it for the sake of not ruling anything out. also i will in my descriptions use men’s/women’s masc/femme interchangeably just because of how websites label their clothes. i apologize if this makes you uncomfortable, i’m trying to be inclusive while also balancing being descriptive. also clothing brands being the way they are, it’s hard to keep track of who did what so i may very well put an unethical brand on here. please just tell me, in the replies or via DMs, as this whole effort was to shop ethically (not use dollskill especially). i want to make corrections and shout-outs if this happens. lastly, i’m an american, so size measurements will be reported in inches. sorry, that’s just how my brain works. thanks beautiful dark hearted ones!

The Web

Trash Queen:  clothing options for masc and femme people. sizes up to 5XL. really fun and kooky, with cool accessories too.

Sourpuss Clothing: mostly options for femme dressers. masc (””men’s””) options too but they’re kinda limited. cool t-shirts tho. many of the plus size dresses go up to 3X

Unique Vintage: mostly options for femme dressers. for my mascs there are still super cute t-shirts (some of which are beetlejuice themed) that go up to XXL, and they do have a “”men’s”” collection. but the rest of the site is fun clothes inspired by 20s-70s aesthetics.

Disturbia: options for masc and femme dressers. dresses go up to uk size 20, men’s t shirts go up to XXL (46 in in the chest, 38 in in the waist)

Berserk: options for both masc and femme deressers. men’s clothes go up to 2XL which is 36 in in the waist. women’s clothes have a proper plus size category and go up to 4X (50-42-53 for a particular dress).  they do carry killstar designs so if you don’t want to support that, avoid it. they also have cosmetic products.

Atomic Cherry: good plus size options for femme dressers, not so much for mens (men’s shirts go up to 2XL). women’s plus size dresses go up to australian size 24. (56″ bust, 48.75″ waist). good for gothabilly/50s inspired goth/alt looks

In Control Clothing: black owned kawaii clothes for masc and femme dressers! some masc shirts go up to 5XL (56″ in the chest), pants go up to 4XL (55″ in the waist). and there’s a whole plus size collection for femme dressers. i can’t recommend this website highly enough, their models are super diverse too. and their clothes are so CUTE.

The Dark Attitude: this time the femme options are so-so but the masc options are AMAZING. really cool goth men’s pants go up to waist size 46″! not to mention cool coats, shirts, kilts, trousers, vests, etc. not to mention they have goth corsets that go up to 5XL (46″ in waist)

funkypair: 

HalloweenCostumes.com: I personally am not above ordering some tacky witch/vampire/zombie prom queen costume and incorporating pieces of it into my wardrobe. i’ve linked the plus size costumes (for both men and women) so go nuts

Historical Emporium: plus size victorian goths rejoice!!! this site has reproductions of Victorian clothes in plus sizes! their dresses usually go up to 3X which is at most 47″ in the bust and 42″ in the waist. for mascs, shirts go up to 3X which is up to 20″ in the collar, and…some other measurements i personally can’t figure out but go check it out and be a fabulous vampire!! i just ordered some witch boots and a black parasol this website, so i’m living my gothy dreams!

Mystic Arts Co: the plus size clothes options aren’t so good but the chokers on here will fit up to 17 inches from what I’ve seen. You can also use the code AMB10 to get 10% off.

Etsy

here are some good etsy shops

missOctopie: these options are pretty femme, but very cute for kawaii fashion! her clothes go up to 3XL (49″ in waist)

Nemons: nemons is a creepy pop culture t shirt shop that caters to everyone! their biggest tee goes up to 52″ in the chest. 

Narcissique Couture: a very vampy goth store that caters to femme dressers and does CUSTOM SIZING ON ALL THEIR CLOTHES.

InkedStaind: also catering to femme dressers, this shop goes up to 4X in dresses which is a 46″ bust, 38″ waist. their leggings are also really cute and those go up to 4X which is a US 22-25…whatever that means lol

Sophie And Her Store: this store caters mostly to femme dressers i would say. for really cool, decadent, vampire clothes, look no further.  she also does CUSTOM SIZING!!!

Designer Dress Store: ok, this one’s for everyone but i think masc dressers will find it particularly interesting. this store has goth pants that go up to 50″ for the waist but you can also order a CUSTOM SIZE! god, i love custom sizing. they also have leather jackets and military style jackets and kilts on there.

My House of Tees: for everyone, this store has tees that go up to 56″ in the chest.

sugarhai: for everyone, their biggest tee is 60″ in the chest.

Lingerie

funkypair: for femme dressers this place has lingerie, plus size hoisery (!!! so important!!!), plus size costumes that you could totally wear everyday if you were so inclined and extended size shoes! shoes up to women’s size 16!!! and they’re cute!!!

LALCouture: so I just ordered lingerie from this etsy shop and they were super accommodating about sizes? asked for my bust, underbust, waist, and hips and normal bra size which they take into consideration when making their garments for me. i haven’t received it so i can’t speak to the quality yet but so far they have been very accommodating to my custom size, as i am bigger than their largest size which is XL

GoodGirlLatex if you want something a little more risque, this latex lingerie etsy does custom sizes as well.

victoriancorset has corsets that go up to 7XL

nedbasleather custom sized harnesses and stuff for all the genders!

EmmaAlamo sizes here go up to 4X which means 52″ waist they do custom sizes as well. harnesses for people of all genders.

novaharness’s plus sizes probably don’t go super far (they have an XXL with a max waist that’s 39.5…not great) but they are notable in that they have this plus sized option for the men’s harnesses as well…plus sized men and mascs rejoice! they’re also happy to do custom designs if they don’t accommodate your size!

InkedStaind has really cute pentagram body harnesses up to 4XL, they also do custom sizing

SensuaLingerie does custom sizing in bras and in panties, and their designs are super cute and vintage inspired

BlueberryShopUa also has cute designs and custom sizing

DebutLingerie has things for ladies and feminine people but I’d really like to point out their more masculine lingerie options. Does custom sizing!

BodyFetish has lingerie options for many genders and does custom sizing.

RebirthGarments not lingerie per se, but they have undergarments so I thought i’d include it. it is an amazing shop that truly tries to clothe all bodies. they’ve got binders, swimsuits of varying modesty for all gender expressions and they do custom sizing!

LeoLines has panties specifically for transfeminine people in tons of very casual designs. good to just fill your underwear drawer with. super basic but hey most underwear is basic!

just a heads up that many of these custom lingerie brands on etsy are located in ukraine so it might take awhile to get to you!

Not Etsy But

AdoreMe has really helpful size guides and stuff in sizes up to 5X…their designs don’t always blow my hair back but hey a bra and panties that fit, that’s priceless.

CurvyKate has tons of bras and panties in plus sizes and they’re trans friendly.

SavagexFenty believe it or not fenty beauty bras go up to 46 in the band and H in the cup (in american sizes). unfortunately it’s so popular, your size might be sold out in the thing you want.

Corset Story is super pricy in my opinion but if you wanted to get yourself a REALLY NICE corset, their corsets go up to 50″ in the waist.

ANYWAY THAT’S IT FOR NOW! IF ANY OF THESE BRANDS IS SHITTY IN ANY WAY, PLEASE DON’T HESITATE TO TELL ME!!!

There is something so beautiful about woman dressed in historical clothing that’s usually only worn by men.

Like, a man wearing historical fashion: eh, ok I guess, I mean it’s still cool cause- history! but still just ok…

But a woman: More beautiful than Aphrodite, a queen! I aspire to look like this. Woman, honestly, can pull of historical men’s historical fashion so well, and they all look like queens and badasses.

Nobody really talks about the daily struggles of being nonbinary like (obligatory disclaimer that no one has to present androgynously and androgyny isn’t a prereq for being nonbinary blah blah anyway) what does gender neutral shampoo smell like? And deodorant? How about cologne/perfume?

What does gender neutral formalwear look like? What about swimsuits? Shoes?? Show me a gender neutral shoe that doesn’t look like something a grandparent would wear.

Does my room look like it belongs to a boy? Does my car look like it belongs to a girl? Is my backpack too masc? Is my laugh too high pitched? Is my music taste too girly? Too masculine? What about my haircut, will I ever find a suitably ambiguous haircut that I like?

What prefix should come before my name if not Mr or Ms? What should someone call me instead of sir or ma’am?

And obviously none of these are insurmountable. You just have to find the solutions that make you the most comfortable. But even if I decide “that’s not worth worrying about,” these are still questions I have to ask and thoughts I have to have and it’s exhausting
