I'm guessing you've never encountered the "perky goth" subset of goth then. A google search should give you more than a few areas to look. As for the Lolita's looking innocent and sweet that's the whole idea. Sweet evil and innocent *looking*. Then you have the harajuku girls of Gwen Stefani fame. Yet another division in the Goth clothing movement. gothicauctions.com<http://gothicauctions.com>will show a number of DIYers who sell to others. I see a lot of square dance dresses adapted to Lolita (that's what I use for my clothes anyhow) and bustle skirts in any fabric is popular. Past Patterns #904 the polonaise dress is HUGE for Goth DIYers. I've made one version in PVC in fact. Right now I'm working on a black lolita nun dress.
