Gothic Prom Dresses

Gothic Prom Dresses usually have a corset-type waist. The goth style arose in Victorian times when women buckled themselves into corsets to be considered beautiful.

While styles vary, Gothic prom dresses are frequently worn with combat boots or lace-up boots.

Many people powder their face a pale white color and apply black or dark red makeup on the eyes, lips and fingernails for contrast. A girl wearing a Gothic prom dress may use spiked collars or chains to accentuate the dramatic look. The hair is often black and straight, or occasionally piled on top of the head in a disheveled manner.
