a couple of weeks ago i discovered the show penny dreadful. since then i’ve been slightly obsessed. there are so many wonderful things in that show, among which are the costumes. oh, the costumes. i would take screenshots of all of them, but netflix won’t allow me. they sparked a renewed interest in me in victorian fashion. victorian fashion was one of the goth clichés that i had moved away from, forgotten how fabulous it could be. anyway. of all the characters i think vanessa ives has the best wardrobe. here are some examples i plucked from google:
i can’t stop looking at the detail on this blouse. i think it’s one of her finest pieces.
i love those puffed sleeves on coats & jackets! that scarf makes the whole lovelier still.
nice modern addition of polka dots in this dress. the gold dots on the black look fantastic.
again, amazing detail on this dress. if only i could get my hands on lace like that… the contrast of the white also looks really nice.
i hope you enjoyed this post! thank you for looking.
