I’m in love with the entire Haunted Circus collection, but I think my favorite is the Spelterini Highwire dress. I’ve always loved black and white stripes (probably a result of my childhood being filled with Beetlejuice and other Tim Burton movies), but that dress uses them to perfection. The little trim on the hem is a nice touch and the overall style of it is just so darling and precious!
February 23rd, 2013 at 9:17 AM
I really liked the aristocracy gothic blouse, it would be a nice wardrobe staple piece. It’s even priced perfectly for the giveaway at $75
.
February 23rd, 2013 at 9:27 AM
Tuxedo dress with skull bow tie!!!
February 23rd, 2013 at 9:34 AM
I really like the Sugar Cookie cotton blouse. It looks very light and soft which would be absolutely perfect for the summer. The fact that it has a corset back makes for a better, adjustable fit.
February 23rd, 2013 at 9:50 AM
Definitely the Lapin du Morte bunny dress!
February 23rd, 2013 at 9:51 AM
So hard to choose! But I think I would live in the Iris Violet Goth Dress: http://www.etsy.com/listing/30225386/gloomth-iris-violet-goth-dress-sizes-xs?
February 23rd, 2013 at 9:55 AM
The Viola Corset skirt hands down. The ruffles!
February 23rd, 2013 at 10:07 AM
I can see myself haunting the office in “Haunted Circus Spelterini Highwire Dress”. Loving this entire collection!
February 23rd, 2013 at 10:09 AM
I love the Verily zipper party dress SO MUCH. It’s a perfect everyday look but with a hint of darkness.
February 23rd, 2013 at 10:21 AM
Everything is lovely, but the best for me would be the Iris Violet Goth Dress, good to hide a bit of belly
February 23rd, 2013 at 10:51 AM
I gotta say, considering the lolita look they are aiming for, they have a long way to go. The product pictures don’t always show the right item (what?) and some of them are downright bad. Looks like they are still working on adding proper product pictures for each item, which is good. They need to show better pictures of the colors available, it’s a bit messy as is. And the materials… oh boy.
Anyways, I scoured and scoured the site, and I think the Chrysanthemum dress is the best.
February 23rd, 2013 at 11:15 AM
I’ve been a fan of Gloomth for a while! My personal fav is the Wicked Thursday top.
February 23rd, 2013 at 11:35 AM
I LOVE the Gloomth Sugar Cookie Corset Blouse Cream Version amazing!

February 23rd, 2013 at 11:42 AM
I love that “Scarlet” skirt. It would fit perfectly with a lot of my closet.
February 23rd, 2013 at 12:08 PM
I am drooling over the Ghost Damask Skirt. I love Gloomth’s designs. Everything is always so gorgeous and well constructed.
February 23rd, 2013 at 12:15 PM
I like the Plumes of Death skirt, it looks like it’s lots of fun to me
February 23rd, 2013 at 12:45 PM
Gloomth’s Haunted Circus Aviatrix Romper
It’s so infectious it can’t leave my mind.
February 23rd, 2013 at 12:56 PM
Since their new Carmilla collection went up I’ve been in love with the Carmilla Dress! Velvet and ruffles and… *shivers*
February 23rd, 2013 at 2:28 PM
I’m in LOVE with the Iris Bow dress. Love the color, the shape, the style, all if ut!
February 23rd, 2013 at 2:35 PM
I really love the Gloomth Tuxedo dress, I can see it being easy to wear casually!
February 23rd, 2013 at 2:41 PM
I’ve been eyeballing the Lapin du Morte bunny dress for a looooong time now! Some day…
February 23rd, 2013 at 2:44 PM
The mounring glory cotton dress is just too cute!
February 23rd, 2013 at 3:15 PM
LOVE Gloomth – the piece I am most coverting from their collection is the Aristocracy blouse, shortly followed by the Pepper puff-sleeved shrug.
February 23rd, 2013 at 3:31 PM
I adore their “Mourning Glory” dress. I’ve been eying that dress for some time on Etsy. It’s so perfect.
February 23rd, 2013 at 3:38 PM
Wow, “Lapin du Morte” (on their webshop) is simply amazing! *WANT*
February 23rd, 2013 at 4:00 PM
The Valerian Damask Jumperskirt Dress! It’s absolutely beautiful!
February 23rd, 2013 at 4:03 PM
It’s impossible for me to choose between the Monarch Corset Blouse + Victorian Bustle Skirt or the Valerian Damask Jumperskirt Dress, I’d go for all of them!!
February 23rd, 2013 at 5:07 PM
My favourite piece in their shop has to be the Union Jack Dress.
February 23rd, 2013 at 5:15 PM
My favorite item from Gloomth (at their shop) is the “Pale Tuesday
Corset Blouse”.
February 23rd, 2013 at 5:19 PM
I would love to wear the “Gloomth Amaryllis Tiered Skirt with Eyelet Lace” for spring!
February 23rd, 2013 at 6:26 PM
I’ve been in love with their Tuxedo Dress for a very long time <3
February 23rd, 2013 at 7:01 PM
My favorite item of their’s has always been the “Ghost Damask Skirt” (Worn with the “Pepper Shrug”) You almost never see gray used in goth/alt clothing, and its kind of a nice change. Its elegant, but it still has an edge to it. Not to mention it has this perfect silhouette with the big puffed shoulders, nipped in waist, and wide skirt. I’m also a big fan of the autumn/Pumpkin photoshoot they did for the main image for it.
February 23rd, 2013 at 7:24 PM
Gloomth Chrysanthemum Dress. It was hard to pick because I love so many items.
February 23rd, 2013 at 7:45 PM
I would wear the hell out of the “Gloomth Ghost Skirt Corset Damask” (listed on their Etsy site.) I’d wear it at many of my DJ gigs & whilst playing guitar on stages across the world.
Yes, indeed.
February 23rd, 2013 at 9:36 PM
I’ve already got a couple of their pieces in my wardrobe, but the Ghost damask corset skirt is next on my list.
February 23rd, 2013 at 10:29 PM
I love the color of the “Chrysanthemum” dress.
February 23rd, 2013 at 10:40 PM
Love the valance corset dress!
Also, love the fact that you guys have plus sizes AND that it’s the same attire as the smaller sizes, that’s hard to find and deserves so much respect
February 23rd, 2013 at 11:18 PM
They are all sugarspun sweet but my favorite is the Spelterini Highwire dress.
February 24th, 2013 at 1:40 AM
The cheri pettipants adorable. I also like the bell silhouette used in many of the dresses.
February 24th, 2013 at 1:43 AM
The entire Haunted Circus collection is fantastic! The Tamer Vest is definitely a favourite though.
February 24th, 2013 at 5:28 AM
it’s so beautiful *_* it’s very difficult to choose but I think I prefer the gloomth Valerian Damask ^^
February 24th, 2013 at 7:37 AM
Oh, I love the Valerian dress! victorian style forever!
<3
February 24th, 2013 at 7:45 AM
All of their clothing is very beautiful and feminine. I would wear the ”Daisy” dress.
February 24th, 2013 at 10:52 AM
Looooove the Iris Violet Goth Dress—very sweet and Jane Austen-y!
http://www.etsy.com/listing/30225386/gloomth-iris-violet-goth-dress-sizes-xs?
February 24th, 2013 at 12:36 PM
The Gloomth Avarice Victorian Shrug is just so beautiful! I’ve always wanted a shrug like this, and in red it looks great!
February 24th, 2013 at 3:42 PM
I pretty much am in love with the entire site, but the “Gloomth Tuxedo Dress” is my favorite.
February 24th, 2013 at 4:03 PM
Love the Gloomth Academy parade jacket
February 24th, 2013 at 7:07 PM
I’m fawning over their Carmilla dress, coming soon!
February 24th, 2013 at 8:18 PM
SO in love with the Duchesse dress!
February 24th, 2013 at 9:00 PM
The Mourning Glory dress is great!
February 24th, 2013 at 9:26 PM
The Aristocracy blouse! Such a great staple that can be dressed up or down.
February 24th, 2013 at 9:51 PM
Love the Mircalla Capelet!
February 25th, 2013 at 10:13 AM
The circus collection is to DIE for.
I am a sideshow performer and I would wear any piece in this collection to perform in but I could really see myself performing fire breathing or glass walking in the Star carousel dress.
I am in love with stripes and patterned clothing, but the thing that really makes this dress great is the lovely shape in the skirt that looks like an upside down tea cup. Lovely!
February 25th, 2013 at 10:14 AM
It’s a tie for me between the “Nautical” Pinafore Dress and the “Union Jack” dress <3
February 25th, 2013 at 10:25 AM
My personal favorite hands-down is the Medic dress, but Verdant is a close runner-up!
February 25th, 2013 at 10:38 AM
Anything with stripes allways makes my day, but personally I’d pick the new Chrysanthemum dress, since spring is coming. Ruffles galore! XD!!!
February 25th, 2013 at 11:02 AM
I am in love with the Aviatrix romper from the Haunted Circus collection.
February 25th, 2013 at 11:16 AM
I adore the Gloomth’s Haunted Circus Aviatrix Romper
http://www.etsy.com/listing/100894073/gloomths-haunted-circus-aviatrix-romper?
February 25th, 2013 at 11:27 AM
I’m a fan of the Ghost Damask skirt. My favorite corset skirt was the Sapphire (http://gloomth.com/k20.html), but sadly they are all sold out.
February 25th, 2013 at 11:55 AM
Really hard to decide! But if I had to pick one, I’d say the “Spellbound” shrug. I love those sleeves. <3
February 25th, 2013 at 12:17 PM
I can only choose one favorite?! If I must, the ghost skirt with damask overlay is luscious. <3
February 25th, 2013 at 1:13 PM
definitely the valerian damask jumper skirt:
http://www.etsy.com/listing/117859072/gloomth-valerian-damask-jumperskirt?
February 25th, 2013 at 1:40 PM
I love the Opiate skirt – long, textured – so nice!
February 25th, 2013 at 2:55 PM
http://www.etsy.com/listing/120418148/gloomth-mircalla-capelet?
love this little cape…would wear it every day at work as a shawl alternative in our cold office
February 25th, 2013 at 5:07 PM
I have been in love with the “Amaryllis” skirt forever. It’s a piece I would wear a lot through the year.
February 25th, 2013 at 5:32 PM
By far my favorite. But there is so much to choose from.
http://www.etsy.com/listing/80459175/gloomth-sorrow-victorian-dress-your-size?
February 25th, 2013 at 5:49 PM
My favourite Gloomth item is the “Sorrow” Victorian Dress, it’s divine!
February 25th, 2013 at 5:58 PM
The “Valerian” Corset Dress is my favourite. It’s very difficult to choose just one design though!
February 25th, 2013 at 8:27 PM
The Apparition Dress is so pretty! It probably looks great in black.
February 25th, 2013 at 9:11 PM
Choosing is difficult… I know I’d wear the Shiro Lolita dress the most, but my heart swoons over the Apparation dress!
February 25th, 2013 at 10:02 PM
Lately I have been eyeing the “Nautical” Sailor Inspired Dress. I love that it’s on the shorter side and feminine. It was a really difficult choice. I just went with what my heart said when I went to the site. Next week I might have a crush on one of my other favs.
February 26th, 2013 at 4:22 AM
I adore the “Valance” dress.
The ability to use two layers of petticoats, the silhouette, the lovely rows of ruffles & bows, everything about it!
http://gloomth.com/d29.html
February 26th, 2013 at 11:52 AM
The Apparition Dress is absolutely gorgeous.
February 26th, 2013 at 1:09 PM
god dammit, the choice was really hard! but the thing which caught my thought for longer was a ‘Gloomth Mourning Glory Dress’ <3
February 26th, 2013 at 11:05 PM
For me it would either have to be the “verily” party dress of the “avarice” shrug everything is just so gorgeous though!
February 27th, 2013 at 6:44 PM
I like the Odette dress best, very classic and I like that the bodice doesn’t look underworked like a lot of the other dresses do. But what is UP with the petticoat they are using for their lolita-style skirts. It’s supposed to look like a bell, not a tent!
February 27th, 2013 at 7:16 PM
I seriously love all of the Haunted Circus line — I live for black and white stripes — but I just can’t get over the tuxedo dress. Reminds me of a piece in the recent Saint Laurent Spring ’13 line. And the skull on the bowtie just totally completes it!
February 27th, 2013 at 11:01 PM
A few months ago, I would not have stood a chance at choosing just one favourite-but since the Chrysanthemum dress has been posted, that has all changed. Love it so much!
February 28th, 2013 at 12:11 AM
I’m loving the Ghost Damask skirt~
February 28th, 2013 at 8:01 AM
My favourite is definitely ‘Verdant’ – I’ve been lusting after it for years now!
February 28th, 2013 at 11:28 AM
I love all of the corsets and petticoats. Black and white stripes are my first love, so this brand is amazing! Winning would be awesome since I’m about to have to buy everything you make: love, love LOVE.
February 28th, 2013 at 11:29 AM
I love all of the corsets and petticoats. Black and white stripes are my first love, so this brand is amazing!
February 28th, 2013 at 12:46 PM
My favorite has to be the Gloomth Carmilla Velvet and Cotton Dress. Love the combination of the two fabrics and all the ruffles!
http://www.etsy.com/listing/120416889/gloomth-carmilla-velvet-and-cotton-dress?
March 1st, 2013 at 12:11 AM
The Iris Bow Dress, in several colors. I also wouldn’t turn my dainty little nose up at the Opiate skirt. Honestly though, there is a lot of pretty on their site.
March 1st, 2013 at 1:34 AM
Their Chéri Ruffled Pettipants.
March 1st, 2013 at 3:24 PM
I like a lot of these, but with my pink hair, I’m going with “Verdant”.
March 1st, 2013 at 11:56 PM
i love everything! most of all the odette dress!
March 2nd, 2013 at 1:47 AM
So many lovely items! I particularly like the Daisy dress.
March 3rd, 2013 at 11:53 PM
The Sorrow dress is definitely my favourite. It’s just perfect. But the Ghost skirt comes in a close second.
