*Cannot* find a goth/clubbing top to match.

Cannot find a goth/clubbing top to match.

kittenwolf

So, a friend gave me this skirt, and I'm having a devil of a time finding a matching top for it!
I have a black waist training corset I plan to wear with it, but somehow I've scoured eBay and a few other sites and just cannot find a top to match (the one in the pic belongs to the girl who gave me the skirt).
Anyone have any suggestions?

Have you tried Etsy? This looks like something you could find on that site.

Etsy sounds like a good idea to me. Good luck!

So you are looking for a top to wear under the corset, like in the picture? Can the corset be worn by itself with a jacket on top maybe (does it cover enough?). Otherwise I'd try to visualize what you are looking for and do online searches of stores like F21, Hot Topic or ASOS -- for example looking for black lace with stretch if you are going for the exact look above. A corset might also look good over a peasant blouse or off the the shoulder top if you wanted something different, but black lace sleeves (sometimes without a top) seem to be a popular look if I google 'goth corset'.

Angie did a steampunk roundup for Halloween last year which gave me great leads for clubwear. I haven't tried this top (linked below in Finds) under a corset, but I'm thinking it might work. Note that the lace is pretty sheer and comes with a black knit tube top underlayer, so depending on the occasion you might want to substitute a lacy black bra.

Fun quest! My first thoughts...a red top to pick up the underlay of the skirt...also, a high collared lace top...stripes and ruffles...

Sorry for the late replies!

@Rabbit I am indeed looking for one to wear under the corset, but the corset I have is an underbust so.. not so good on the 'being a top itself' side

@KL I wonder if it's possible to get the black lace top with the red tube top under, that'd be an effect similar to the skirt. Hrm..

@Rachylou I'm tossing up red vs black top. I mean, red.. isn't my greatest colour, but with a black corset over it most of the red will be covered anyway.. hardest part would be matching the red on the skirt I think.

I'll give Etsy a look too, hopefully I'll do better there than eBay!
