Plus Sized Gothic Corset Dress

A plus sized Gothic corset dress is a must-have for an edgy wardrobe. Corsets are well known for their cinching qualities as they help provide support for figures of all sizes. Choices seem scant but there are surprising alternatives to consider when looking for this romantic dress.

Goth style is not always mainstream, but it has a timeless quality with enduring appeal. Victorian accents and rich fabrics make plus size Gothic clothing stunning and the very nature of a corset dress is slimming. The design can improve posture as it accentuates the curve of the waist.

Since the style is ageless and flattering for nearly every type of figure, you would think that this garment would be a cinch to find. However, selection is scant even on the Internet. If you are driven to find a gorgeous Goth dress to add to your wardrobe, you may have to use a little creativity during your search.

While many Gothic clothing shops cater to regular sizes, some offer a nice selection of plus size attire as well.

• Rose Mortem features several corset-style dresses available in sizes up to 20. Colors are limited, with dresses offered in black or white. Some are available with burgundy accents.

• The Gothic Shop offers a few plus size options. The Gothic Hippy Dress is a fun plus size outfit that has lovely details including Georgette panels and embroidery work. A ribbon lacing through eyelets in the front of the bodice provides the illusion of a corset.

Shopping for plus sized Gothic dresses can be challenging but some stores are dedicated to making darkly gorgeous outfits specifically for fuller figures.

Bulletproof Cupid is a company based in the United Kingdom that offers alternative clothing for fuller figures. Goth-inspired designs are featured on its website, including corset dresses.

• Goth Maxi Corset Dress looks much like a costume with bell sleeves mimicked in the bell-shaped hemline. The material looks like crushed velvet, offering a feeling of antiquity.

• Goth Black Corset Laced Mini Dress is a daring ensemble that features split angel sleeves that are light and flowing. The dress is dangerously short and is certain to outline every curve.

You can turn nearly any dress into a Gothic getup by adding a plus size enhancing corset. This option is available in a number of different places that have made-to-order services. This is a daring move because the corset will have to fit over the dress of your choice. If you are creative, you can come up with fantastic ensembles that are perfect for the club scene.

Gypsy Moon has been in business since 1991, offering authentic looking romantic clothing that is inspired by pirates, fairies, Gothic and vintage styles. You can expect to pay a little more because the outfits are made of fine materials such as silk and velvet.

The sizing chart includes plus size selections up to a 40-inch waist. You can opt to special order a made-to-fit corset by visiting One of a Kind Corset featured on the website.

Mortisha’s Corsets is a company based in Australia that offers custom-made corsets. Visitors simply order online using the site’s measurement system to assure the perfect fit. This is a pricey path to take and it may take considerable time to receive your garment.

Starkers creates custom-made corsets in nearly any size. The site is similar to Mortishas and Gypsy Moon, offering corsets crafted to fit your measurements.

While you can always find Gothic costumes, many may not be suitable for everyday wear. This is not necessarily due to the unusual style; the quality of the material and construction of the garment may be lacking, especially if you select a very inexpensive costume. Costume shops are still viable options that may yield great results.

• Annie’s Costumes has a great selection of plus size costumes, many with corset-inspired looks.

• OD Girl has a nice collection of pirate-inspired corset costumes for fuller figures.

eBay has a surprisingly generous plus size gothic corset dress selection. Some outfits are perfect for clubbing while others are more formal. Whether you are looking for a vamp, Lolita or Renaissance corset dress, eBay may be your best bet for women’s vintage plus size clothing.
