I haven't dressed up in aaaages, and this club certainly warranted it. The flyer said to come dressed in 15th to 19th Century Halloween gear - but said that aliens and time travellers would be allowed in. Hence, pretty much any costume would fit in OK!
For me make-up I channelled a bit of Pat McGrath (MUA for Dior, Galliano etc), a bit of Johnny Depp as Mad Hatter, and a lot of Japanese goth.
The outfit was sort of Neo-Victorian Spooky Gothic lolita, with big pouffy PVC
ballgown skirt and puff-sleeved
Victorian shrug from
Artifice Clothing. AC is just amazing, so if you're into clubwear and PVC, or just out there fashion, go take a look. I wore a big tutu skirt underneath to puff the skirt out more.

I will do some follow-up posts - one a make-up tutorial to 'get the look', and another on the club itself, with pics of other patrons, the performers and fab band "
Barons of Tang" (who bill themselves as 'Gypsy deathcore'!)
