Never was a goth myself, but had lots of goth friends (and still have a few!). Most of them wouldn't be caught dead making their own clothes - adapting maybe, but not actually making.
There was a healthy band of good cheap 'alternative' clothing shops in Newcastle and the surrounding area, and a few in Leeds, near where I went to college. That said I always made my own clothes - and occasionally bits for friends - largely cos I couldn't afford to buy new clothes. Adapting stuff from charity shops was always popular though! _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
