The Gothic style originated in Medieval France and encompassed almost all works of art. The main feature of the Gothic style in clothing is considered to be the predominance of vertical lines. A gothic-style dress can be floor-length, widening to the bottom, or it can consist of a corset and a fluffy layered skirt. A corset is a construction of several layers of poorly stretched fabric and special bones. Sewing a gothic dress is not difficult, subject to a certain experience and desire, of course.

Instructions
Step 1
First, think about the model of your dress. Whether it will be long or short, narrow or wide. After that, select the appropriate patterns for the intended model and take all the necessary measurements.
Step 2
Choose a fabric. In Gothic clothing, the most popular are silk, smooth leather, chiffon, patent fabric and satin. Regarding the color, let's say that it does not have to be black at all: dark blue, dark purple, purple and even white are allowed. Although, of course, black has a clear predominance.
Step 3
Carefully cut out the details of the dress. Then proceed directly to sewing. Be sure to overcast all the edges of the parts with an overlock. Sew the pieces together using the instructions that came with the pattern. Do not forget about fitting in the process. Smooth the finished product well.
Step 4
Now start finishing the dress. In the Gothic outfit, she occupies perhaps the most important place. After all, it is thanks to the peculiar finish that you can get not just an elegant black dress, but a dress in the Gothic style. A mesh is always present in ready-to-wear clothes, for example, on the sleeves. In addition, use all kinds of lace in the decoration of the dress, not necessarily black. With their help, you can achieve the effect of sensuality, eroticism. By the way, you can use torn laces. If you are not inspired by lace, use ruffles on the cuffs and along the hem of the dress. Or try embellishing it with satin ribbons at the waist and neckline. Blood red or white ribbons will look great - you will be able to play in contrast, and here the dress is done! It really confirms the mystery of the Gothic woman. Probably, this is what inspires world-famous fashion designers to use gothic motives when creating their collections.
