Hey Mindie, PC Mary's has a BEAUTIFUL red mermaid gown for about $1000. It's on their website. Justin Alexander has an amazing red gown with a detachable collar that is VERY goth looking. Im doing a gothic wedding next halloween and am having a hard time finding bridesmaids' gowns that are goth-looking without being medieval. I think after my wedding Im going to have to go into the gothic-bridesmaid-gown-making business!!!

We aren't all into only white love is the color of the rainbow so why not let the colors express that on one of the most sacred days of your life!! Many Blessings to youa ll ...I am kinda like duuuuh between the black or the red and no one will know the color of my dress I am playing the innocent I am wearing white role...so SURPRISE it is my DEBUT and my day and it will represent me!!!Many Blessing to all of you and many long years to come in your marriage!1

Wow, I just stumbled across this page...thank you to everyone who likes the Black & Red Gothic Victorian Gown, we are truly humbled!

I am the costume designer of this gown and the owner of RenaissanceDress.com. To answer a few questions posed above, each Gothic Victorian gown is made to order...we do not keep a stock or 'mass produce' these gowns, so you won't find it in any bridal salon or chain store.

The price of the gown is $550 + shipping, and it is offered in sizes Small-3X. For customers who prefer a customized fit, we will make the gown to your specific measurements for an additional $100...this is a good option for women with unique figures, who are petite or quite tall, or who simply prefer more customized service.

In addition, we can make this gown in any combination of colors you would like, so you are not limited to black/red at all!

Please feel free to visit our website and I will be happy to answer any additional questions/provide further information.

Thanks again for all the positive comments!
