00:00Okay, so Halloween party season is here, and if you've ever stood in front of your closet
00:04thinking I have absolutely nothing dramatic enough for this, this video is for you.
00:09I went digging through hundreds of listings to find the 5 best Victorian gothic dresses
00:13that people are actually buying and actually loving.
00:16Real ratings, real reviews, and honestly, some of these prices shocked me.
00:21Let's get into it.
00:23First up is the Victorian steampunk gothic dress in that gorgeous blue-green colorway,
00:27and this one comes with a matching coat, which is the whole reason it's number one for me.
00:32It's got that circus ringmaster, walking dress silhouette that photographs incredibly well.
00:38It's $70.40, which is the priciest on this list, but it's custom-made to your measurements,
00:44it's got a perfect 5-star rating, and nearly 4,700 people have bought it.
00:49If you want the showstopper, this is the showstopper.
00:52Next, the medieval maxi dress with the built-in corset detailing and brace yourself,
00:57because this one is $16.43.
01:01$16.
01:03It's giving Renaissance, it's giving Rococo, it's giving Venetian masquerade,
01:07and it still holds a 5-star rating across more than 4,000 orders.
01:11If you're the person who needs a new costume every single year and doesn't want to spend
01:15real money on it, this is your dress.
01:18Honestly, at that price, buy two.
01:21Coming in third, the Marie Antoinette cosplay gown with the flare sleeves and the floral print.
01:27The sleeves are the star here, they've got that soft, dramatic drape that moves when you walk,
01:31and it instantly reads as period costume without looking like a rental.
01:36$17.26, 4.9 stars, and it goes up into plus sizes, which I really appreciate seeing.
01:43If you want romantic and soft rather than dark and edgy, grab this one.
01:48Fourth is the steampunk corset dress, structured lace bustier on top,
01:51irregular asymmetric skirt on the bottom.
01:54This is the one for people who want the gothic look but with an actual waistline and some skin
01:59showing. It's $27.94, sitting at 4.7 stars with almost 2,500 sold.
02:06The corset boning does real work here, so if you want that hourglass shape without wearing
02:11shapewear underneath, this does the job for you.
02:14And rounding out the list, the retro long-sleeve Victorian cork dress with the lace stitching.
02:19This is the most wearable one on the list, like, you could genuinely wear this to a dinner or a
02:24gothic wedding and not be in costume. It runs small through 5XL, it's 3770, and it's got a 4.9
02:32rating.
02:33Long sleeves also mean you're not freezing in October, which, trust me, matters more than you think.
02:38All 5 links are sitting in the description below, so go check current pricing because these move fast.
