Well most Goths are also pretty self sufficent. You do have some that do cookie cutter Goth and buy everything at Lip Service and Hot Topic but they are IMHO the minority. Most Goths are working crappy jobs because of one reason or another and so can't afford to pay the prices that RTW Goth clothing costs. Which can get pricey. Up on Live Journal where I hang out most there are probably 800 groups dedicated to Goths who do their own clothes. There are probably another 600 where a few of them sell their talents to those who might sew and just want something OOAK or don't sew but want individual works. Yahoo is the same. There are MANY groups dedicated to Goth sewing. And don't even get me started on the millions of websites out there. I personally don't know any cookie cutter Goths they're rare here on the East coast.
