Chic Star Clothing

I discovered this brand by accident some time ago when I saw a jacket from them which I liked at some other online goth shop; so I thought I'd check out if they have a site of their own and more similar clothing...
I was surprised that they aren't strictly gothic, but also do retro styles (rockabilly, pin-up etc.)!

You can check them out at www.chicstar.com

I have to point out that they have a design competition, because I know how often someone including myself moaned here on the forum how we have some clothing design in mind but can't realise it. Now you have a chance! You can check out the rules at their site.

I bought their Lace-Up Tuxedo Swallowtail Corset Top and had second thoughts about it when it arrived because I was worried I would only be able to wear it to goth events...
The top is wonderfully made, I adore the design and I always loved brocade, so I would have liked to wear it everyday too. Finally one day I just said I'd risk it and wore it to a university lecture combined with a purple tunic. Wow! I didn't expect my mainstream colleagues to give me so many compliments on it! :woohoo:

That's really pretty... it looks like you could dress it down with jeans, like in the photo, or else really goth it up if you wanted to.

I had a quick look through their site as well. I especially like their dresses! They seem to be a lot more form-fitting, as opposed to most of the looser things I see in stores around here. Those looser styles tend to make me look pregnant... not a good thing!

Yes! First I was uneasy if I could really dress it down and up so much, but you rally can! Lovely piece! :kiss:

The problem which I find with stores around here is that the dresses are all too short for me to be considered a dress! I don't want half my ass to be visible to the public. :S
Most of the dresses at Chic Star are reasonably long so that a tall girl like myself can also wear them.

:ohmy: Wow..I love what you've bought!

..And I wish I hadn't checked out the site! :S I'm in love with so many designs..Argh..So many cute and loliable items..Ohh...

Hmm, that's really quite gorgeous - some of the items on the site are quite nice too...I bookmarked it for future reference.

That was evil.... I ordered a new top, that I really don't need,and shouldn't be spending money on.... but it was on sale. Good site, I can see them tormenting me again soon
