Goth Bra Adventure!
I saw a mention in an adventure that it may be fun to have a goth bra adventure, and when I added a glass of wine to the thought, it sounded like a good idea.
Now, I'm an *old* goth, like "The Hunger"/ Bauhaus/ Sisters of Mercy/ Siouxsie Sioux ancient, so you kids may not be able to relate to that, but please bear with me.My personal aesthetic also runs to the Art Deco/ Egyptian Revival side of things, so that's another thing to keep in mind.
Anyway, these are my top 3 goth bras from my collection so far:
3. Panache Sienna (4471) - it's just all-around nice with its dark lace with muted jewel tone satin (we can pretend like the AW2011 black/pink colorway never happened).
2. Ewa Michalak Ch Pawie Oka (207) - if I were a Victorian heroine (and if Victorian heroines wore bras), I'd wear this one every day.
1. Freya Taylor (4971) - What's not to love about this bra? Nice dark colors with velvet trim, styling reminiscent of the Art Deco era, and cleavage into next week. I daresay this bra's geometric stylings may also work for the androgynous minded (with its bows and smidgen of lace removed), and maybe even steampunk (a genre which I admire, but haven't been able to get into, since I live in the middle of nowhere).
What are your favorite goth (or androgynous, or steampunk, etc) bras, and why?

Pour Moi? Promise (padded or unpadded) because of those awesome stripes!
Another Goth girl here, but grew up in the age of Marilyn Manson shock goth. But, I'm more into European metal, from Nightwish/Lacuna Coil type to Dissection to Rammstein and my die hard, will always be my favorite band Apocalyptica. There are reasons behind that love.
I call the Taylor more "business suit" look. But I did trim that annoying as heck lace off.
My top 6 in no real order than what I picked them up in.
1 - My purple Fauve FV0241GRP. At least that's what the tag says. Purple wine color, black mesh and lace overlay, corset lacing on the sides.
2 - Bra D'More. I'm not sure on the name, it's the leopard mesh and lace plunge. I removed the lace, tighten the mesh down and sewed up the center with it's bronze jeweled flower dangle. It's my steampunk bra.
3 - Curvy Kate Thrill Me in black - or ivory. Killer cleavage, I like the ruffle, I can't help myself.
4 - My blue and black lace sheer Faubourg. It's awesome. Dark but not boring.
5 - Curvy Kate silver and black Tease Me. Better known as the bra I wear with a near perfect match underbust corset.
6 - Curvy Kate Romance in charcoal. Because my hubby says so.
Or pretty much 95% of my bras since I have all but three in either cleavage enhancing (Elvira is my idol.....) or dark colors.
And yes, I really am horrible at remembering non Curvy Kate bra names.
