Eheh.. uh.. I guess I need Help.
Well here's hoping I don't sound like a complete idiot..
No, wait, I will. Damn.
Well, I have NO fashion sense at all, I can't even shop for clothes by myself..
My sister's the one who helps me out with Clothes Shopping and crap.
What would you say is "Gothic" clothing..
Dark? Death?
Well I need some, because my wardrobe is getting thinner and I need some sweet clothes..
And I have no clue!!! I really suck at this stuff ;|

Since you're Asian, I might help you out.
But your name is a Disturbed song so I'm kinda iffish with helping you....
Gotta love my close mindedness :P

You know, I'd say "gothic" clothing is not "dark". And definitely not about "death", I'd say it's "elegant"

If you ever wind up in Sydney (unless you're already there - just judging by the "NSW" in your location), go to Gallery Serpentine. It's a little expensive, but I'd say it has some of the best gothic clothing in Australia. Even if you just browse around and find something you like that you could possibly find in an op shop could help, especially if you don't have an idea of what exactly you're after.

I suggest doing what I did: Just roam around in a mall or clothing department. Don't look for anything in specific, just glance around at everything; let it find you. If you see something that strikes your interest, try it on and, if you still like it, buy it! -And for goodness' sakes don't limit yourself to black. I myself enjoy direct contrasts of black and white and I enjoy also purple, blue, or red. I don't, however, know your fashion preferences (i.e. I prefer formal business clothing) therefore, I cannot go any more specific. Just try on anything that interests you and your tastes will develop quickly.

 Hey, try searching 'gothic clothes' or something like that on the internet, there are some really good websites that will ship clothes to where you live. If you dont want internet shopping, just brose shops, try stuff on and buy what you look good in/what you like. You might not get it right all the time...but nobody does! Not even me

I recommend looking at gothic magazines and taking them with you shopping. Try looking for the same style in stores or let an employee take a look at the pic and match stuff for you. It can help. But the best thing to do is wear whatever you're comfortable in.

Wow, I guess I love Dracinabox too. Took me about .4 seconds to find a shirt I want. Goddamn lack of a job - The year(s) between the MA and the Ph.D. are the worstestnest. Sad faces all around.

Drac is nice, but they have too much PVC and velvet-- things I'm not too fond of. Otherwise, they have some of the great corpgoth stuff that I prefer.

Dracinabox is alright, and I like its wide variety, but Gallery Serpentine will forever hold that special place in my heart. I've never wanted absolutely EVERYTHING from an online store before. And I mean EVERYTHING. If I ever drop by Sydney again, I'll spend a whole day there; buying little, but drooling lots.
