Romantic Goth

Romantic goth is a gothic subgenre built on Victorian romance, lace, corsets, and a feminine kind of darkness, emerging across the 1980s and 90s and softening traditional goth with historical romantic elements. Victorian lace blouses carry it. Velvet skirts cover the bottoms. Floral corsets shape the body, under layered dark floral dresses. Heeled Victorian boots go below, with cameo jewelry and long black gloves.
