I am a parent of tweens and teen girls and I think the biggest mistake one can make as a parent is to hyperfocus on and try to control how our children dress. Outside of them dressing like a porn star, I don't care what they wear, so long as it's clean. I think when parents forbid their kids to wear certain things, forbid them from cutting, growing, shaving, dyeing, back-combing their hair, etc., you as a parent just make that clothing/hair choice more attractive to them and they're just going to rebel, sneak, or resent you. My relationship with my kids is more important to me than pressuring them into dressing "normal." I think we as parents have way more important things to worry about than how our kids are dressed.

Hell, yes! Doing parenting right! There will always be battles with parents and kids, but it makes no sense to pick unnecessary battles...if you fight with them over unnecessary shit, they'll never trust you when they REALLY need your help. (not a parent, and never will be, but that's how I figure it - my mum always told me that she would be there for me whatever I did - if I got into drugs (oops...), even if I murdered someone, I could tell her, she would always be there...so, clothing, it was never fussed about. She only worries if I'm very scantily clad going out clubbing, and then her only fear is for my safety... Mumming right! :3 She's awesome...and it sounds like you are too!)

Thank you both for saying this. I hate limiting myself, and I know who I am. Part of this subculture is expressing yourself and saying fuck it to the rules so it never made sense to me that it was so exclusionary and hostile, but out of respect I never called myself goth and felt very self conscious if I ever wore anything with because I didn't feel I'd earned it. I just admired the subculture from afar. But when I turned 30, I pretty much said fuck this, I'm done, life's too short. I've got an appointment later this month to chop my hair off and dye it indigo. I've started collecting pieces and sprinkling them into my wardrobe so the change won't be so extreme, but I'm ready to stop being afraid of being alternative, because that's who I am. 🖤 But that doesn't mean I won't dabble in other fashions and makeup styles. It just can't be this serious...

As a (slightly) older Goth I love listening to Teens and early Twentysomethings telling younger one how they are not Goth enough.

Hey, I've got some ideas for boots on a budget! Getting cheap and rather boring ones to decorate is a great idea, because it's so much less expensive. For example: 1. Get or make bootstraps with spikes or whatever you prefer. They're cheaper than shoes so you can buy a lot of different designs and match to your outfit! 2. Chokers can actually be put around boots to spoof them up. 3. Adding spikes, studs, fabrics, charms, laces etc. are all great. The good thing with decorations that you can take on and off, is that it's basically like having a lot of shoes when in fact you just have one pair and a lot of decorations for them!

A LOT. and most of the time, I find something I will eventually alter (I sew :3). but anywhere else, like what you said, I wait until stuff I like comes into fashion. It's annoying as hell because EVERYONE is goth for a few months every 4-5 years or so...but when it goes OUT of style, I STILL HAVE IT!!! >:DDD but yup, spray paint, safety pins, hell, even garments that AREN'T goth or black are okay. something I learned being a poor, black goth-it's not WHAT you where, it's HOW you wear it :333

I'm so glad I found this! I used to dress very gothy in my late teens/early twenties, and I've been drawn back to it as of late because it was by far the most creative, fun and bold style I've ever had. I was CONSTANTLY cruising the thrift stores and craft stores for cheap stuff that I would then excitedly take home and alter. Goths who wear really expensive store-bought goth clothes always look really pristine and stunning, don't get me wrong, but to me there was always something way more bitchin about a DIY goth who had a whole lot of interesting, one of a kind little details strewn throughout their outfit. That kind of style requires real creativity, which you can't buy in a store. I agree that Halloween is such a great time to get stuff, I used to go through the halloween clearance bins and get loads of fun false eyelashes, black nail polishes, scarves, socks, jewelry, for very cheap!

I've always loved goth styles but was not only shy about trying it, but was banned from it due to a controlling, religous parent who found it "demonic". I'm hoping next year to start buying a few pieces! Romantic goth (corsets, lace, dresses, etc.) is my favorite. 🖤

The charity and second hand shops in and around Camden Town, London are absolute heavenly gold mines for alternative clothes! Viva la Camden! 😊

I enjoy this creative fun side of your characteristic, you showed me you're never too old to be creative and fun and imaginative which sometimes life gets so suffocating that we may forget this. I was a bit harsh on the first video I saw of you but this video definitely changed my outlook a lot.

Just earned yourself a new sub for being awesome! I often go back and forth between wanting to be the ideal goth and fitting in with other "normal" styles, i found it hard to fit in to the gothic/punk community in my area just as much as me trying to fit into the everyday norm for 17 year old girls. Ive realised that no matter how i dress i wont fit in easily and thats purely there problem not mine, your videos are really helping me want to explore my darker side again! Thank You!

Fankyoo! :) And yeah, I've felt that occasionally with certain alternative nights I've been to - because the local club encompasses rock, metal, goth and more, and the nights there rotate, you get different crowds coming in, and sometimes they're really not My People...but hopefully, eventually you'll find the little subsection that are your people :)

yeah me and my best friend plan on going clubbing when we turn 18 this year ( we will try before that too!) and im just not sure of my self to feel comfortable around all these new people, i can handle creeps and pushy guys but judgemental stares from girls because we smoke or are on stuff worry's me a lot, i think once i figure out what style i love ill learn to just have fun and not give a fuck what people view me as!

Genius! Love the choker tips! I can never find a good choker that actually fits my neck. And the safety pin idea really does sound much more appealing than fiddling with the clasps and breaking my nails in the process. Yeesh.

+starsinshatters Yess! Safety pins are a lifesaver, particularly if you get home a bit drunk and there's no one to help you out of your choker, I can't believe we're living in 2015 and no one's made a necklace clasp that isn't fiddly as all hell yet!

This makes me so happy! Gonna sew some skully buttons on my shredded up cardigan this week, heheh!

"So I apologize if this video comes out super long" Apologize?? I am SO damn glad you make such a cool, long, and well explained video. I'm totally trying everything you talked about :D

Something I recommend (specifically for kids) is Halloween costumes I make really cute goth fits with a ghost face costume for the skirt, you can also get striped leggings and gloves from other Halloween costumes too and so much more

i went into a berlin gothic store, the lady in the store was talking down to me the entire time, she was just so condesenting. i feel like the reason was cuz im form denmark and cuz i wasnt looking that gothic tyhat day, sad bois

As an Elder... We did all of these things before the internet and shopping mall goths, I think the only "new" things I ever bought were make up,dye,tights and boots.

so im 13 (which means im poor asf lol)- and i went to a thrift store today and found a pair of black platform shoes they looked new and shiny so i asked the lady how much they cost and she said its 7 euros??? anyways theyre not demonias btw but theyre so cute with leg warmers and ripped stockings :))

I'm a romantic goth leaning a bit towards victorian. Love black lace, velvet and sheer black tights! Never wear pants anymore it's all skirts and dresses yaay so comfy :D However black velvet is a bitch because lots of crap gets stuck in it. Crushed velvet isn't so bad but the steamed velvet drives me insane. I keep using a clothing roller on it but the shit keeps coming back! Any of you guys have a solution?

+tamousha If you are talking about pet hair and really annoying shit like that, there is a anti static spray for clothing that kind of repels pet hair and random stuff thats kind of hard to get off clothing. Well, im not saying it repels it but makes it harder for it to stick to clothing. I believe it can be used for the interior of cars too

I would love for you to make another episode like this, Dorian

I’ve been trying to dress goth since elementary school and I still don’t have the clothes I want so that sucks. I’m getting there though 😌

Absolutely love the craft stores so many things you can use, could get lost in those stores for hours. It's a shame that some call out others that in their opinion are not dressed goth enough. It is hard enough with others putting us down to do the same with our spooky selves. Going to have to try that t-shirt spray painting idea thanks sharing some of your DIY's.

At the thrift store around here, you can occasionally find some nice black/goth evening gowns. They are actually kinda pretty. That's where I got like the only formal dress/gown I own. Lol!

As an extremely poor person who is gothically inclined, I really appreciate this video. Most DIY vids I've seen are not poor people friendly. Thanks for being awesome!

I bought cheap black shoes and just gothed em up with screw in studs and beads and metal chains Its fun!

I love how enthusiastic and exited you were when you talked about all the awesome stuff there is to do! I love your videos :)

I go to Joanns and it's amazing for those in the US, they have amazing fabric and sooo many good coupons!!

Yes! Also, if you're close to a Walmart, they usually have a decent sewing dept. Look for grommets, eyelets, (just make sure you have a hammer and the tools to install them), studs, buttons, lace, fabric scraps, fluff, etc. If you aren't near anything, amazon.com is a great option for everyone. 100 studs for under $5 www.amazon.com/Mini-Factory-Nailhead-Silver-Pyramid-Leathercraft/dp/B0129IQ36U/ref=sr_1_11?s=arts-crafts&ie=UTF8&qid=1465679326&sr=1-11&keywords=studs+and+spikes

...for myself as a crossdresser I find the gothic style is fab, you don't need loads of money just by black cheap clothes and rip to shreds and play/experiment as you've proven on your show is a wonderful hobby! Just like to add take a visit to Whitby for gothic festivals saw a lady in her 70's all dressed up she looked amazing just proves there's no age limit! Best wishes 👌💜🦇

Literally the whole video I was starting at your eye makeup. It's gorgeous~ :3 XD

I LOVE THIS SO MUCH!!! Crafting is so rewarding and fulfilling. I could live off this feeling. This gives me the will to live, I'm not even exaggerating. This kind of tutorial can pull someone out of depression. Thank you Dorian

I watched a tiktok of a goth expressing that you can't really be goth if you don't dress goth and it really upset me becuase of how expensive goth clothing/brands is. Even 4 yrs later this video is really relevant and helpful 🖤

This video is my life. I don't live in Germany, the US or the UK so I don't live where there are major gothic outlets which can sell affordable goth styles. Our local goth stores charge a lung for tiny sized clothes that frankly are almost pathetic quality compared to major commercial stores. I'm also a UK size 16 and so many outlets don't carry my size. I just mix and match everything I own. I love this video. :) I hate how people judge others for their "ungothiness" if you don't look the part or if you can't afford to. Totally not cool, the subculture of alternatives and the outsiders becomes even worse than the people they got away from. (not for everyone of course)

Lovemuffin aka Torosaurus thank you, I'll check it out! :) I've bought some stuff from Germany and it was sort of okay shipping, I don't mind the time it takes cause everything takes a month to arrive from any country.

Never put dying clothes in the washing machine. All the paint chemicals can damage your washing machine. I'm an artist, I've dyed clothes before. It's best to put it in warm/hot water in a bucket, add your color & stir it for about an hour or two. Keep checking if it turns into the right color and your done. Just helping out not insulting anyone. good luck :)

Kyoko Rit dye is made for the washing machine. I've never had any issues with it dying the machine or anything else. Obviously if the directions say to do it in a bucket or on the stove, do that, but there are dyes specifically made to be used in a washing machine.

listening to ambient NIN, and watching this channel is pretty amazing. also, the authenticity of everything she talks about, so honest. i am not that brave!!! thank you

This was the first video I ever came across of you I think a year or 2 has since past and I'm am honestly so thankful for your relatable content and just overall thankful for you sharing your life it really helped me

"Your parents will shit" this literally was the cutest thing omg

your accent is absolutely perfect, im so jealous

I like finding clothes that fit nicely and just dying them black too. It also makes things look brand new

I love it when you get excited talking about the stuff you made

I am not a creative person and doing DIY stuff would annoy me. But this video made we want to try anyway :)

*I am old, 53, and I turn my flowers into sad or scary ones so that I look like a badass old lady!* 🤗

Omg I absolutely love this video. As a goth who can't really afford gothy clothes this was a life saver for me and you are so adorable and its nice to see I'm not the only person to get over excited in a craft store.

Love this! I've been modifying clothes and sewing for years, and it's great to get inspired! Thanks for sharing your ideas

Right after Halloween go crazy with the clearance section. I got a a bunch of cute t shirt for like 2 dollars each.

U inspired TF outta me

you have no idea how this has changed my way of thinking on getting alt clothes! i always knew diy existed but i didn't think it would be this easy and accessible. thank you so much!!

You should seriously consider making more of these! They are so helpful to a lot of people, especially those new to the scene, including people who have been around a while and forgotten these tricks :)

omg you are so GORGEOUS! I hope I'll develop the awesome makeup skills you have ❤

The Rona!

Its so cute how passionate you spoke about the items you got from the craft store

Love this love this someone finally knows the ins and outs of being Goth in an unaccepting home. Love this 😊

Your makeup is goals

For boots, go to a military surplus store and get a pair of cheap combat boots, easily affordable and for the most part already broken in! Demonia, New Rocks etc are nice but too expensive for what they are.

As someone who lives in the middle of nowhere with old people I still find a bunch of cool stuff and stuff I can diy

The sleeves and pantyhose advice is genius, GENIUS! Thank you!

So I've never really been into alt fashion until quite recently, but today I trimmed down some old shirts I got from savers that I didn't like because they were too long. I put one of my DIY crop topsthem on, and I was absolutely ecstatic. So I'm looking into goth/emo/alt fashion and giving it a try! (I'm only 14, so I don't have a ton of resources, but I'm asking my mom if we can go to savers soon so I can revamp my wardrobe)

I love your eyeshadow wings~! 😍

I trimmed my entire bedroom in fluff when I was younger.. It was awesome!

I usually zone out when watching videos this long but this beautiful woman has me engaged the whole time! Thank you!!

this is awesome, I lost a lot of weight and I'm needing a new wardrobe. but I am not able to dress goth very often. I have two jobs and one would freak out if I did. I do have galaxy hair and wear heavy eyeliner all the time but I can't actually dress it.

Love that skirt! Gorgeous!

I really like this video! I personally am emo not goth but I really like your views on things. Rather than saying you’re not enough o something just appreciate that someone else thinks it looks cool! Great video!

These are all such great ideas, you just match materials to your colour scheme and style and it looks like a million bucks even if you just make yourself a stay at home leisure moment :3 i love this video! So useful
