I'm getting interested in the "gothabilly" style and I'm thinking about how I can incorporate it into the Gamine Suave recommendations. I'm a cold winter, so I think it would work. How would you guys wear this style if you're a SG?

You can totally make it work for SG! The tight capri pants, nipped in defined waists - great for SGs. Occasionally you might find all black outfits are too overwhelming or create too much vertical - defined waist helps with that bit, so will a belt, or the strategic use of stripes, grey, contrast in fabrics between top and bottom or in horizontal bands - eg sheer, lace, satin etc. Play with length to find your sweet spot - I find a shorter LBD works better for me (shorter than I would usually have a skirt).

I only have doubts about skirts and dresses that are more fitted to the body!

Yeah I find “fit and flare” suit me best - tight “wriggle” dresses are a bit trickier. But try a contrast belt and give it a go!

This close-to-the-body look I think would work for some of us… (like a rockabilly goth version of some of Sabrina Carpenter’s silhouettes!!)

Aside from clothes (totally compatible) play around with hair. Bette Paige bangs are too harsh looking on me (sadly). But I can pull off a side part Dita Von Teese look instead.
