Struggling to find good quality, decently affordable, goth clothing.
Just to preface; I'm chronically ill, the thrifts around me don't really have any easily diy-able clothing that I'd actually enjoy wearing, my closet is wearing out (holes, rips, etc), and even after fixing some of those; I need clothes for summer since I'm overheating in my long-sleeves.
Apparently I don't have enough karma to post this in another subreddit but I need help; so I'm sorry if it's a little confusing, if you're not goth or not knowledgeable on it then you can just skip over this.
I've spent a few days now trying to look at brands online that don't use sweatshops, that are reliable, affordable (under $150 per piece - like shirt/pants/etc), and that have good quality clothing. I've looked at Pretty Disturbia, Alice's Lips, Vampire Freaks, Disturbia, Dark Cottage, etc.
I've also looked at Hell Bunny, which I picked out a lot of clothing but, when I looked at reviews on various review websites, a lot of them mentioned the quality having gone down since COVID started. I can't find anything about them being problematic either but that might be because I swapped browsers recently and I'm still getting used to the new one's layout. If anyone knows if they're problematic (like using sweatshops n whatnot) please let me know and/or if anyone's ordered from there this year and are located in the US, PLEASE tell me your opinions on the quality and experience with the brand.
Otherwise, please give me recommendations for goth clothing brands to look at. For reference, I'm a romantic goth for the vibe since I know brands often differ in those, but I'm not overly fond of dresses - so any dress heavy brands won't work for me. Thank all of you in advance for any help that may come my way.
