I can’t upload this directly to tumblr as it’s too big, but here is a video talking about why I don’t recommend trying to do research on Pinterest if you’re interested in the same kind of fashion I am (or any vintage fashion really). It mainly boils down to Pinterest posts often being stripped of their context, and the fact that Pinterest is overrun with AI and photos that have been incorrectly labeled (I have seen many photos labeled as 80s that are much more modern)
Glovelet I freehand knit a while ago and never shared
I’ve gotten a number of questions across platforms regarding this piece including someone who emailed me about it so I thought I’d put a comprehensive response here
Q: Is there a pattern?
A: No, this was freehanded, I made it up as I went, but this is what it looks like when laid flat, it is more or less a rectangle that was knit side to side. I knit it to fit my arm and tried it on as I went, if you want to make something similar, you will have to fit it to your own measurements
Q: Can I crochet this?
A: Not really, most of it was knit, and you will not get the same effect by crocheting it. The border area for the lacing and thumb loop was crocheted with a very small hook however, but the majority of this was knit
Q: What size needles and yarn did you use?
A: I cannot remember what size needles I used, and may have actually used multiple sizes. The yarn is size 10 mercerized crochet cotton, the same kind commonly used for doilies
Q: How did you get the big holes?
A: Loose tension, big needles, small yarn. The very large holes were created by rows of yo k2tog, which I alternated with regular rows
Q: How is it fastened?
A: Like this, the attached “tail” is used to lace it up. Most of the tail is actually machine knit rows of stockingnette, with a few hand knit rows of garter at the beginning to give it some grip
Any other questions I’d be happy to answer
Another two goth DIYs since people liked the last one. I can’t remember if I’ve shared these here or not. You need to be able to have a vision at a thrift store and I hope this will help you develop an eye for possibilities.
First photo: Loose linen top I thrifted, removed embellishments from, and dyed black. Loose linen clothing is excellent for hot weather, and I often will buy linen clothing when thrifting regardless of color, because it can always be dyed. I’ve dyed many linen pieces black now and have found that fiber reactive dyes yield more consistent results for black than standard off the shelf dye like RIT do. I’m also wearing some scraps of lace tied around my wrist in that photo, as a way to create something bold and black around my wrist without the heaviness of leather
Second photo: t-shirt dress thing I thrifted, dyed black, cut the neckline out of, and created a net piece for the shoulder by knotting thread together. I ended up cutting the neckline too big and the net piece helps keep it on my shoulder. A lot of people asked how I made that part, and its just string knotted together in a series of overhand knots and then sewn onto the fabric
When I say you need to use your imagination to be goth… this is what I mean.
This dress was originally tie-dye with these cheap plastic beads on the straps and lower fringe. That was nothing I couldn’t fix with wire cutters and a dye bath. I thrifted it because it was a lightweight rayon (good for summer) and I liked the asymmetrical fringed hem. I’ve been looking at a lot of scans of 80s BOY London catalogs and have felt inspired by the deconstructed and asymmetrical silhouettes I saw in them.

Hopefully tumblr doesn’t flag this one as age restricted like it did last time

Rags in hair. A trend in certain subculture circles in the 80s. Notably seen on a few celebrities like Adam Ant and Pete Burns

There’s about three people I cycle through in terms of ripping off makeup inspiration and obviously Siouxsie is one of them
How I store a large jewelry collection so I can see everything
Some people asked on my TikTok & Instagram how I store my jewelry because I have quite a lot I’ve managed to collect. I’m also someone who needs to keep things where I can see them or else I forget I have them. I posted this on my TikTok but this is the answer:
1. Old air plant frame for clip on earrings
2. Multiple of these 80s “earring books” for regular earrings (and rings)
3. A display I made by nailing fabric to a picture frame for larger brooches (you could also do this with chicken wire instead of fabric)
4. A hair clip organizer I’ve had since I was a little girl for smaller, lighter pins and brooches
5. Thrifted tie organizer for necklaces (tie organizers are very easy to thrift). You can also see that I keep most of my hats and gloves on my wall in this photo
6. Large statement necklaces that take up a lot of space get hung directly on the wall
7. A thimble display shelf for cufflinks, collar tips, and oddly shaped earrings & rings that would be difficult to store otherwise. Someday I’ll hang this on the wall but for now it’s just sitting on a shelf
8. An old purse strap for bangles

I was everyone’s favorite mad scientist again this year for Halloween because I made almost every single component of my costume so it was too much effort to not reuse it and it’s also the 50th anniversary of RHPS. Even the shoes were a pair of shoes I got secondhand and very heavily modified
It’s my favorite time of year: cold enough I can dress like a black blob and not overheat.
Hi. I’m slowly uploading photos from this “Replicas” inspired shoot to my Pinterest.
I went back and got some photos of this look in front of a yellow background since this was meant as a tribute to “Replicas”
Outfit & makeup based off the cover art of the 1979 album Replicas by Tubeway Army for my third time seeing Gary Numan last night. Replicas is one of my favorite albums, ever, and my username of “malloryheart” on most platforms is a direct reference to Numan’s song, “Metal” as he is probably the artist who has had the biggest influence on me
