Happy Halloween! Since we are never too old to play dress up for Halloween I thought I'd have some fun with my Victorian paper doll that I've given a Gothic makeover to. Goth Girl Glam for Halloween The doll on the right is from my Vampire Bride set of dolls posted - HERE and I've created another slightly different version of her for this post. Goth Girl dressed in Black For this version my Goth Girl is dressed in black rather than white. And I've created a fun costume sheet so she can play dress up. Mix and match wardrobe accessories so she can dress up for Halloween - Party! This goth girl paper doll is based on a vintage Victorian L&B paper doll from my personal collection. I altered her digitally to get this fun Gothic, vampire look for Halloween so I decided to do something similar with her wardrobe as well. Many of the items in the dress-up sheet are real Victorian fashions from 1900 others are in keeping with the style. Vintage Victorian Accessories tailored to fit the Victorian Gothic Paper Doll - Slate Blue I think it can be such fun to dress up these vintage jointed L&B paper dolls and it's more fun to scan the Internet looking for items to dress them up in. Since the original paper dolls are from Victorian times I went to one of my favorite costume sites www.metmuseum.org to locate some wickedly fun Victorian garb for my gal. c1900 Fetish thigh high Victorian Boots from the Metropolitan Museum Top of the list is this amazing pair of thigh high leather fetish boots c1900. Yup, that's right ladies - we are not the only naughty society in history. There were some pretty interesting fetish garments available in the 1800 and 1900's that would have made your grandmother blush and these boots were probably top of the list. I love this pair of boots and had to include them as part of Goth Girls wardrobe. You can see them at the museums website - HERE I think to date I've located 4 different pair of Victorian fetish thigh high boots that are in museums. I love posting great vintage clothing to my Museum Fashion board over at Pinterest so if you would like to see some other great fashions including more fetish boots from the past - click HERE 1891 French Silk Corset from the Metropolitan Museum I adore corsets and this is one of my favorite vintage finds. The colors, pattern and shape are so yummy that I had to make this part of goth girls collection as well. You can see this beautiful piece at the museums website - HERE c1908 Negligee - Dressing Gown from the Metropolitan Museum I thought this great Edwardian dressing gown had a Sgt. Peppers, frock coat look to it that would work really well with the tall boots and goth theme. I made a few alterations and had just what I wanted for my doll's ensemble. You can see item at the museums website - HERE The remainder of the items in the wardrobe were Internet finds that had that Gothic Victorian feel to them, which I altered to fit this particular Gothic paper doll. The wardrobe sheets come in several color choices so you can go with the color scheme that works best for you. It's fun to mix and match the items to get a new look. Two slightly different dolls - Two different looks The left doll was created from parts in yesterdays post. She is a multi-jointed doll and only wears the corset and mini-skirt from the Peach sheet posted below. The right doll has been glued together in a permanent pose and has not joints. She wears the tall boots, black lace corset and silk jacket. Add caption And here again is a variety of looks you can get from that one sheet depending on how you mix and match the items from it. The web is a treasure trove of items you can use to dress up a jointed paper doll, many of which you can adjusted to fit your doll with a pair of scissors or in this case if you have a good digital editing program you can custom fit items to a specific doll like I did with this one. You might be able to get some of the clothing items from these sheets to work with other of the L&B vintage paper dolls I've previously posted; but these items were created specifically to fit this particular jointed paper doll and the torso that comes with her. Here is the Goth Girl Dress-Up sheet in several other color choices. Enjoy!

Here is what the pair of boots looks like when you do that. Trio of Fetish c1900 boots in different configurations The left pair is the original look for the boots. The middle pair is what the far left boot looks like when you use it and create one in reverse. The last pair is what the other boot looks like when matched with it's mirror image. c1900 Fetish Boots - Left and Right pointing pairs You can even get another look by taking the your boots and having two of the same pointed in the same direction. Well as you can see I had a bit of fun dressing up my L&B jointed paper doll and I hope you enjoyed seeing how I did it as well as some of the fun Victorian Fashions items I used to do so. I also hope you spend some time browsing the Metropolitan Museums website and other Museum websites for vintage fashions. It's amazing to see what our forefathers and naughty predecessors wore. Have a Happy and Safe Halloween! ***** This post is in loving memory of Sherlock my mischievous and loving kitty who will be greatly missed.

Flickr user Postman has amassed a terrific collection of vintage postcards dated from around 1900 to the 1920s featuring gorgeous women from around the world. I just love these. Not one duckface to be seen among them. Beautiful then, and beautiful now. How did the standard of beauty come to be the Kardashian sisters? It must’ve crept up on us at some point. via Vintage Everyday, Bored Panda and Design You Trust
