Sorry to those who have your UA-cam set to another language that isn’t English and are being greeted with the horrible AI translated voice. Unfortunately I missed the memo UA-cam was doing this and they won’t let me disable it after the fact. But click the ⚙️ and change the audio track to English, then if you need subtitles in your language, several auto translated subtitles are available (although not always accurate).
I unknowingly was dressing in this style since the late 90’s and I will add that a big part of my aesthetic is wearing underwear as clothes. So bustiers and pretty bras under sheer tops or wrap tops but also buying petticoats either skirts or dresses and dying them or getting them in black and just going ham with accessories is a super easy entry into this style with things you can get anywhere.
I love that!! I’ve found some really pretty satin and lace cami tops from Fredrick’s of Hollywood which I remember from that era which look cute over white t’s or turtle necks if you remember that trend. I had bought a bustier with the original tags from there in a beautiful teal color I wanted to style but was sadly too small on me.
"I like space" hahaha! That's me! I have sun and moon/stars tattoos on my feet and never realized I would have to explain about them so much. For 2 decades 😆
Haha yeah I think the sun and moon with faces is a thing that has been around for a while. I think it gets lumped into the aesthetic of astrology and tarot because it appeals to people who like both. But I remember my dad having a lot of sun things in the 90’s and he isn’t into astrology or tarot because you know … satanic panic and all that 😂 (I wasn’t even allowed to have pokemon cards and couldn’t play final fantasy)
It wasn't until I was in my late 20s when I realized where my love of moons came from: CareBears! My favorite was BedTime Bear. I still have my stuffed baby BedTime from the 80s. He is all worn and well loved with beautiful moon and star embroidery on his tummy. The 80s were rad! 💙🌛
Yes to whimsigoth wardrobe tour! I struggle finding this style in plus size. I kept a couple pieces from the 90s but can’t fit into them so that doesn’t help lol!
For inspiration for male whimsigoth is look at some music artist like Prince and David Bowie al la Labarynth (1989). These men had groupies screaming for them and wore very feminine clothes, even wearing womens blouses, perfume, and makeup. 80s glam rock is similar in this way too.
Gen X here...we kinda invented that whole style! And it's supposed to be eclectic and unique, because we were ALL ABOUT the thrifting! (Anti-fashion/consumerism and all...). And it lends itself to some really practical and comfortable looks. Like a cute flowy dress with Doc Marten's. Some more good brands: Wild Fable, Torrid, Philosophy. But yeah, it's really about whatever you score at a thrift store!
Oh yeah for sure - the media people reference was at its peak popularity during Gen X’s college years. I feel like this nostalgia about these years and the rise of its popularity with this fashion is especially common among millennials and elder gen z because we grew up watching those shows as kids, and the people in our lives that dressed this way were either our older siblings or our baby sitters who we looked up to and thought were so cool. I think with how things are going in the world, a lot of us really want to channel that cool, rebellious but ethereal quality. Especially as more people are waking up to the harm of capitalism and consumerism (which is why it feels so weird and disingenuous to see fast fashion cash in on the trend).
@DressMeUpScotty oh for sure! And yeah, us Gen Xers are used to bucking trends and fashion (like with grunge and whmsigoth) only for big corporations to copy us. [Flips hair] what can we say, they're obsessed with us! (Lol!)😎
Just in case you (or anyone else) hadn’t heard and might want to buy doc martens in future, the quality has really gone downhill 😢 These days the only hope is secondhand but there’s some other brands that people are moving to instead! If I remember correctly Solovair is one?
@@EmL-kg5gn That's right. I just bought a pair second hand - one of the post '90s cheaper quality - and they are not great. But Solovair was the OG manufacturer for Doc Marten's, and their "Made in England" line is still apparently up to quality.
Coming to this video after your most recent one, and I just want to say I appreciate that you use the duck quack when you have text on the screen, cuz I use UA-cam more like a podcast when crafting, so it's a really helpful indicator I need to look at the screen ❤️
Oh thank you, that’s so good to know! Sometimes I forget to include a sound effect indicator when I include text (although I try to especially when it’s important!) but knowing it’s helpful will definitely be good to remember!
Squee! So happy to see a new whimsigoth video! Can I make some suggestions, too? There's also a lot of inspiration from Eastern religions and aesthetics, like Buddhism (especially Tibetan) and yoga. Like statues of the Buddha, prayer flags, meditation cushions, Chinese silks, om symbols, Chakra motifs, etc.
Another store you could check out is Francesca's!! I haven't checked their sales online but in-store their clearance was an amazing deal (got a super cute blouse and dress under 30 bucks recently). They're stuff is definitely a lot more cottagecore (very pastel) but you can still find many whimsy pieces !!
Oh yes! I forgot about them! I used to go in there all the time back in the mall days lol. I remember they reminded me a little bit of ModCloth but more bohemian. Their home decor and accessories are very World Market!
Oh my gosh I would *love* a whimsigoth wardrobe tour. Also, every time I watch your videos I get a sudden urge to go thrifting because it gives me so much inspiration (and false hope, my local goodwill is really bad) 😅 but I can still dream
My dad was a full on reinassance/medieval revival flamboyant hippie in the 70's and I think most of the clothing he wore then would be found in the womens' section of the thrift stores nowadays so that was a great tip for thrifting masc clothing. Some of his stuff perfectly flatters my feminine body and curves because stuff was very slim fit and well tailored for men back in the days (and I'm a bit bigger than he was back then). I think I got my love for this style from my 70's hippie parents and the fact that I'm a child of the 90's who loved all the witchy things from then.
Great video! I’d love to see a video on how to incorporate whimsigoth style into a more casual wardrobe! I want to dress more witchy, but I also love leggings lol
Great video!! Always look forward to them! I would also say learning basic hand sewing skills is crucial. A lot of pieces are *almost* perfect, but are missing buttons/zippers. Or maybe the neckline is not what you want, or the garment is too long or too short. Maybe the dress is perfect, but it just needs to be dyed a different color. It’s all about seeing potential. Layering is also super important. And using things in creative ways that deviate from the original purpose. Ex. Using a skirt as a top. Using a poncho as a skirt layer. Wearing leg warmers as sleeves for a sleeveless dress.
I have that foxglove skirt (first pic @6:08) from disturbia, I love it so much! I sadly stopped shopping from disturbia recently because their prices have increased way too much for my liking and the quality/ fit from most of their pieces really weren't worth the price. THAT SKIRT THOUGH 10/10
I find searching for Dark Mori Kei can help sometimes! There’s a ton of crossover there with cute and witchy, almost cottagecore but not, edgy looks/items
I definitely lean more Victorian (some of the whimsy is a little too young for me if you know what I mean. Since I was actually a teen in the 70s I have to be careful to not look dated as opposed to vintage or retro) I love velvet, brocade, jacquard, chiffon & dark colors like purple & indigo & black or rich colors like rust & moss green. Hanky hems-check. Lettuce hems-check. Bell or Lantern sleeves especially with puff shoulder & tonal embroidery or lace-check. I now live in Idaho where it is cold enough to actually wear my velvet pieces unlike Roseville. In the Summer I go more Boho & prefer lighter sage greens, white/off white, lighter denim blues, etc. I still wear black too just not as much & I'vbeen trying to get other dark colors in my wardrobe besides black all the time. Been really into deep, rich brown lately & it's actually a trending color this season so Yay! For guys or male presenting/andogynous inspo just check out Jimmi Hendrix or any British rock star from 1968. All those guys were wearing velvet, satin, lace shirts, paisley & florals & stripes & lots of ascots & hats & fur coats. I liked the male fashions of the 60s more than the female tbh. Love me a velvet pantsuit 😊
Oh yes I have to agree with your assessment about the male fashion from the 60’s and 70’s and looking at the rock stars from those eras for inspo. Their fashion was so good!They were so creative and expressed themselves so immaculately: they created some amazing looks with amazing visual interest! It’s always a delight seeing the newer generations channeling those looks, which reminds me of the creator I mentioned Antique.Aquarius - totally gives me a 60s/70s rockstar vibes!
I was also a teenager in the 1970s! I live in western Oregon, and have always dressed more colorfully, feminine-leaning, and yes, whimsically in the summer than the winter. This year, due to a number of lifestyle changes, plus volunteering at the local humane society thriftstore, I have decided to carry my more creative summer style into the winter. It has been fun putting together what I like to think as Witchcore Plus! Plus= collegiate/professorial, and more whimsical lagenlook layers as well. I still have "ready to go on a hike in the rain" PNW clothes that I wear of course, but making them a bit more lively than in the past!
I would love more style vids on this aesthetic! Your wardrobe is so inspiring! This has been my favorite style to combine with all my other favorites and i plan to decorate my house in the style over time. I cant wait to paint all my walls in jewel tones to match rhe decore i already have haha
Love these style videos! I've been trying to figure out my current style vibes and this video really helped solidify it (with the masc Whimsygoth having elements of wizard/dark academia)! I would love to see more style breakdowns and the Whimsygoth outfit style video 🖤 thank youuu!!
@kikisworkshop6327 I think some masc whimsigoth icons are Johnny Depp and basically the cast of the OG Interview With the Vampire movie! Very New Romantics, with some boho vibes and lots of jewelry.
Haha I’m glad you appreciate that 😂 I sometimes spend far too long searching for clips 🙊🙈 I get hyper focused on it when I know I remember a line or a moment or something but can’t find it.
@DressMeUpScotty I love your content and it's very inspiring as I'm looking at all my clothes! Though I do now have the urge to get them back out again and make outfits.... 😆😆❤️
P.S. If you live in a town that has an Assistance League thrift store (many cities do), they have a rack called "Holiday Preview" around this time of year. It is full of anything velvet, sparkly, lacy, etc. I about lost my mind last time I went there.
I very vividly remeber this style of fashion from my childhood and teen years. I myself sprinkled some elements to my own wardrobe circa 2004-2007, when I was still trying to find my personal style ❤
Huh. Turns out I'm more into whimsigoth than I think. I don't know a lot about aesthetics. But I do have a lot of things like this pinned on my pinterest. Thanks for teaching me something new!
Yeah and I think since whimsigoth crosses over with so many other aesthetics with how eclectic it is, it’s very easy to see ourselves in it. I’m not totally whimsigoth either, but so much of my taste overlaps that it’s definitely my fav so far. Especially since I’ve been drawn to purples and jewel tones.
Also a great brand to look for is Per Una. Their modern stuff doesn't look that interesting, but their 2000's pieces are perfect for whimsigothic and fairycore styles
haha, I have many tops, skirts & dresses from Pyramid. Priced better than Holy Clothing (but not as much selection if you want tonal soutache trim on rayon) I miss their Halloween catalog-great clothing quality pieces & accessories. They still carry some of it but a lace up velvet witch dress for $100 plus shipping is probably more than most people want to spend on a costume. I sold my purple & black velvet witch dress this past Oct on FB Marketplace since it was now a sz or 2 too small. If you watch their clearance & get on their text list, they regularly have 15% & 20% off sales.
Really liked this, thank you! I love this style but so far I haven't been able to put together outfits that really work for me. I keep looking for inspiration in the hope of succeeding though! 😅
Hello!! I loved the video! I live in South America so it is difficult for me to adapt this style to the high temperatures. The fabrics tend to be warm and the layers of clothing that make the style do not work. I would like you to make a video guide for that, since what I have found in other spaces are only light skirts and that is all. I would like something more masculine. I hope you understood me, I don't speak English, only Spanish. Thanks! And if anyone has people to follow who can help me with my search I would appreciate it. ✨💜
I adore this style, but my tragedy is that in my country clothes from thrift stores are completely *different* and it is expensive for me to order from another country 😩
Ahhh that’s a bummer. If you know how to sew or want to learn this might be where that might come in handy. So many people have published sewing patterns online you can download, I wonder if there are some for this style!
I loved the video! Just on a side note I believe this energy your mentioning “dark femenine” and magical it’s definitely more related to the Queen of Wands energy, not the priestess bc that is more of a modest, prude and grandma kind of energy lol
I wasn’t necessarily referencing tarot, but a woman/individual tapped in to the spiritual realm who channels that kind of magical healer energy. Like an actual priestess. Or at least that’s my own interpretation. I’m not familiar with tarot at all, not really my area spiritually.
Etsy has a image search option?!?!?!?! I did not know that and I live on Etsy. I am letting my inner child/teenager run free with the whimsigoth style, as this was never it when I was a teenager in the 90's. Thank you so much for this video, it was very helpful!!
reminder that a lot of the brands she is listing in this video are fast fashion. A very big part of a lot of alternative subcultures is sustainability and DIY efforts. If you can't make alt outfits or decor out of thrifted items, you either have horrible thrift stores near you or you aren't trying hard enough. Even something like a black maxi dress can be made into dozens of alt styles just by finding the right accessories/layers
Yeah there’s really no need to buy any of these brands mentioned new, they are everywhere at the thrift stores. If all else fails and someone’s thrift stores do indeed suck: online secondhand. eBay, Poshmark, Mercari, Depop. 99% of my wardrobe is thrifted and my thrift stores haven’t always been great lol. It takes persistence and patience. We don’t need things NOW but good things are worth waiting for and hunting for. One time I almost splurged on a pair of Strange Cvlt witchy boots new because my quest for Victorian boots hadn’t gone well. Before I placed the order I checked Mercari one more time and boom - someone listed the same exact pair in my size almost new in the box for half the price.
I haven’t seen it used, but I also know that that word in particular isn’t really something that is favorable to use anymore to describe certain offshoots of bohemian style since it was used in the past in a derogatory way to describe specific people groups (like the Romani) so I don’t think anyone has attached it to a “core” for that reason. Probably would be more like bohemian adventurer/traveler or something along those lines to describe the style I think you’re thinking of.
@@DressMeUpScottyI think it's called Exotic Bohemian since Gypsy is not pc to use anymore. I don't think people mean it as a slur but as a synonym for bohemian or free spirit. And it used to be a slang term for a Dancer, Musician or Actor in a traveling troupe & was used to describe someone who travelled or moved a lot. Jimmi Hendrix & His Band of Gypsies (that was their name) But times change & so does language.
I was curious if you had a PO box to send something to? I looked in your description and didn't see one listed, so im guessing you dont have one. Would you ever consider getting getting a PO box? ✌🏼✨🤗🤔
The Pyramid Collection is surprisingly still around but not nearly as filled with whimsigoth clothing as it used to be. Still ridiculously expensive tho.
oh my god this is my first time where youtube put an audiotrack overlay (my native language is german) so i was really confused when you started speaking in a monotonous robotic german voice 😃
Omg it’s been doing that!! It did it to someone else who has the app set to Spanish. I’m wondering if I can adjust to where it won’t do that. It’s so weird. I checked out the languages and it sounds soooo weird 😂
I dress this way a lot and wear dresses most of the time. I get some fun looks from the cookie cutter moms when I pick my kids up from school lol….I don’t let it bother me because I’m 44 so I frankly just don’t care anymore. I’m just me.
@@DressMeUpScotty I’m pretty sure their shipping takes forever because they custom dye and alter their pieces after you order them;; don’t quote me on that though. I’ve been hard yearning over their masculine line.
Merci la vidéo est très intéressante mais son doublage audio automatique la rend difficile à écouter... Je reste adepte des audios originaux voir avec sous titres écrits si besoin
I think it’s UA-cam doing that automatically when the website is set to that language, it’s done that to several people now. You can go in and change it back to English with subtitles. I think it’s a recent update they did with the auto dubbing and I’m not a fan of it myself. It sounds so robotic and kinda creepy lol. I’m gonna see if I can disable the auto dubbing or at least make it go to the original language first.
It’s the stupid new AI audio translation - I did not green light that I assure you. UA-cam did this to all of us 😭 feel free to set it back to the original audio because if you have your app set to any language but English it adds a terrible ai generated auto translation 😭 I tried to turn it off but it won’t let me.
I want to see you actually thrift and put together masculine/androgynous outfits and have you/your husband model them. it's hard to find inspo online but even harder to find it in thrift stores imo. the thrift store mens section here is just a tiny section of crappy t-shirts, and the womens section is way too feminine. but maybe I'm just not looking in the right spots, or maybe I'm just not seeing the potential of the womens section since I'm a trans guy and want to stay away from presenting feminine.
@@isabelquintana4435 You’re good didn’t sound rude at all! I’m also a little weirded out by the AI translation lol. Also the fact that we can do that now, sounds like something from Star Trek 😂 (universal translator)
I put all my visual aid cards into a Google drive folder for anyone who wants to download any of them: drive.google.com/drive/folders/1-BTw3bp-XDZJfrdXfqNWeS4SMkMl-j_m

I very vividly remeber this style of fashion from my childhood and teen years. I myself sprinkled some elements to my own wardrobe circa 2004-2007, when I was still trying to find my personal style ❤
I would loveeee a whimsigoth wardrobe tour in the future when you’re able to!!
Yes please, would love to see a tour of your whimsigoth pieces.
Huh. Turns out I'm more into whimsigoth than I think. I don't know a lot about aesthetics. But I do have a lot of things like this pinned on my pinterest. Thanks for teaching me something new!
Yeah and I think since whimsigoth crosses over with so many other aesthetics with how eclectic it is, it’s very easy to see ourselves in it. I’m not totally whimsigoth either, but so much of my taste overlaps that it’s definitely my fav so far. Especially since I’ve been drawn to purples and jewel tones.
Super helpful as always!! I’d love to see a styling video and would wait as long as it takes to get it 😂
Haha, won’t make yall wait toooo long but possibly January. I want to do a lot more styling videos in the future besides once in a while.
Also a great brand to look for is Per Una. Their modern stuff doesn't look that interesting, but their 2000's pieces are perfect for whimsigothic and fairycore styles
So excited for this video! ✨
🥰❤️
Hi very inspiring video, I would love a whimsigoth wardrobe video/ fashion show and tell.
Glad you enjoyed it!! Definitely looking forward to doing some styling 🥰
@@DressMeUpScotty Yay I'm excited to see
Remember the Pyramid catalog? There were such beautiful dresses in that one.
Oh yess! I have a dress by them and then I’ve seen some gorgeous ones at the thrift store that were SO Steve Nicks coded 🥰
haha, I have many tops, skirts & dresses from Pyramid. Priced better than Holy Clothing (but not as much selection if you want tonal soutache trim on rayon) I miss their Halloween catalog-great clothing quality pieces & accessories. They still carry some of it but a lace up velvet witch dress for $100 plus shipping is probably more than most people want to spend on a costume. I sold my purple & black velvet witch dress this past Oct on FB Marketplace since it was now a sz or 2 too small. If you watch their clearance & get on their text list, they regularly have 15% & 20% off sales.
@ good to know!
I still have my reversible purple and emerald cape from pyramid! Don't wear it much anymore but I should use it as a throw blanket now 🤔
Really liked this, thank you! I love this style but so far I haven't been able to put together outfits that really work for me. I keep looking for inspiration in the hope of succeeding though! 😅
That’s why I’m on Pinterest 24/7 lol. I get all my ideas from consuming lots of inspiration.
thank you I NEEDED THISSSS 🙏🙏🙏
✨❤️🦋
Love when you put together outfits and model them on your cute self💕
Oooh!! Would love a wardrobe tour!
Hello!! I loved the video! I live in South America so it is difficult for me to adapt this style to the high temperatures. The fabrics tend to be warm and the layers of clothing that make the style do not work. I would like you to make a video guide for that, since what I have found in other spaces are only light skirts and that is all. I would like something more masculine. I hope you understood me, I don't speak English, only Spanish. Thanks! And if anyone has people to follow who can help me with my search I would appreciate it. ✨💜
This was super duper helpful ♡
Would definitely love to see some of your favourite whimsigoth pieces and looks from your closet ⭐
Yes, I think a home whims a Goth style and how to get the clothes would be a good video. Install them or home décor please.
Yea definitely in the plans!
eBay and ThredUP are awesome places to get pieces like this, but I won't lie. I did get some tiered maxi skirts from Amazon as well as hot topic.
I adore this style, but my tragedy is that in my country clothes from thrift stores are completely *different* and it is expensive for me to order from another country 😩
Ahhh that’s a bummer. If you know how to sew or want to learn this might be where that might come in handy. So many people have published sewing patterns online you can download, I wonder if there are some for this style!
Thank you for including masculine options/how to adapt them
Yes to whimsygoth home decor!
I loved the video! Just on a side note I believe this energy your mentioning “dark femenine” and magical it’s definitely more related to the Queen of Wands energy, not the priestess bc that is more of a modest, prude and grandma kind of energy lol
I wasn’t necessarily referencing tarot, but a woman/individual tapped in to the spiritual realm who channels that kind of magical healer energy. Like an actual priestess. Or at least that’s my own interpretation. I’m not familiar with tarot at all, not really my area spiritually.
I would love a whimsigoth home decor tour, but i know I'm gonna get so jealous 🥲
Lo escuché traducido al español mientras cortaba imágenes, me sirvió. Amo ese estilo en la ropa y quiero plasmarlo también en mi habitación.
Whimsigoth clothing tour all the way!
✨🙌
Something I like to do as a man is take a cool scarf and tie it around my waist to make a sash. Add a belt or two and it gives it a fantasy vibe
i feel small amount of things at earthbound would fit for newer stores.\
Oh yeah, just looked on their site and definitely some pieces that fit the style there.
Etsy has a image search option?!?!?!?! I did not know that and I live on Etsy. I am letting my inner child/teenager run free with the whimsigoth style, as this was never it when I was a teenager in the 90's. Thank you so much for this video, it was very helpful!!
For my plus size folks that like to eBay/ thrift, fashion bug can have some super cute pieces! As well as holy clothing and Cato.
Late 90's, early 2000 Jennyfer and Pimkie are also good for this aesthetic
New video close out music? End of an era.. always look forward to seeing Poppy at the end 🥹🤍
It’s the same song, just a different portion of the song ❤️
OK, so basically every piece of clothing I have that is not in pastel colors fits in your definition of whimsigoth, got it.
Haha exactly 😂 since it crosses over so much with different styles, especially those that are “whimsi” - definitely see that.
I need a decor video please and thank you ❤
Coming soon! 😁
@@DressMeUpScotty yay! Can't wait 😁
If there’s any other Brits here Vinted is great for finding whimsigoth clothing. I bought my whole wardrobe from there
This was the very first video I accidentally watched with translated audio track, and it made me double check if you are AI lol
Oh wow they do that now?? That’s crazy!
reminder that a lot of the brands she is listing in this video are fast fashion. A very big part of a lot of alternative subcultures is sustainability and DIY efforts. If you can't make alt outfits or decor out of thrifted items, you either have horrible thrift stores near you or you aren't trying hard enough. Even something like a black maxi dress can be made into dozens of alt styles just by finding the right accessories/layers
Yeah there’s really no need to buy any of these brands mentioned new, they are everywhere at the thrift stores. If all else fails and someone’s thrift stores do indeed suck: online secondhand. eBay, Poshmark, Mercari, Depop. 99% of my wardrobe is thrifted and my thrift stores haven’t always been great lol. It takes persistence and patience. We don’t need things NOW but good things are worth waiting for and hunting for.
One time I almost splurged on a pair of Strange Cvlt witchy boots new because my quest for Victorian boots hadn’t gone well. Before I placed the order I checked Mercari one more time and boom - someone listed the same exact pair in my size almost new in the box for half the price.
I finally have a name for my style!
Is there such a thing as Gypsycore? I have seen a person dressed like one and looked awesome.
I haven’t seen it used, but I also know that that word in particular isn’t really something that is favorable to use anymore to describe certain offshoots of bohemian style since it was used in the past in a derogatory way to describe specific people groups (like the Romani) so I don’t think anyone has attached it to a “core” for that reason. Probably would be more like bohemian adventurer/traveler or something along those lines to describe the style I think you’re thinking of.
@@DressMeUpScottyI think it's called Exotic Bohemian since Gypsy is not pc to use anymore. I don't think people mean it as a slur but as a synonym for bohemian or free spirit. And it used to be a slang term for a Dancer, Musician or Actor in a traveling troupe & was used to describe someone who travelled or moved a lot. Jimmi Hendrix & His Band of Gypsies (that was their name) But times change & so does language.
Another modern brand that caters to goth/whimsigoth style is Cosmic Aura, exclusive to Hot Topic.
I was curious if you had a PO box to send something to? I looked in your description and didn't see one listed, so im guessing you dont have one. Would you ever consider getting getting a PO box? ✌🏼✨🤗🤔
I was actually gonna get one soon! I’ll make a community post about it when I do.
@@DressMeUpScotty that's awesome! I'll be on the lookout for it 🌟
Oh, wow, I just got jumpscared by the automaticly translated synchronization 😂
The Pyramid Collection is surprisingly still around but not nearly as filled with whimsigoth clothing as it used to be. Still ridiculously expensive tho.
oh my god this is my first time where youtube put an audiotrack overlay (my native language is german) so i was really confused when you started speaking in a monotonous robotic german voice 😃
Omg it’s been doing that!! It did it to someone else who has the app set to Spanish. I’m wondering if I can adjust to where it won’t do that. It’s so weird. I checked out the languages and it sounds soooo weird 😂
I feel like Jim Morrison is a good starting point for a masculine whimsigoth style.
Would love to start a channel but don’t know if I have the confidence
I dress this way a lot and wear dresses most of the time. I get some fun looks from the cookie cutter moms when I pick my kids up from school lol….I don’t let it bother me because I’m 44 so I frankly just don’t care anymore. I’m just me.
Honestly, they’re probably jealous because you look STUNNING serving looks.
@ aww, thank you!
Does anyone know plus size feminine creators?
My style is Natalee core
Ok, I guess I do have a style. Whimsygoth
Holy clothing. Bad name, great clothes. And size inclusive
I’m super curious about them, I know a lot of my Ren Faire friends have stuff from them, I just heard their shipping takes forever.
@@DressMeUpScotty I’m pretty sure their shipping takes forever because they custom dye and alter their pieces after you order them;; don’t quote me on that though. I’ve been hard yearning over their masculine line.
Merci la vidéo est très intéressante mais son doublage audio automatique la rend difficile à écouter... Je reste adepte des audios originaux voir avec sous titres écrits si besoin
I think it’s UA-cam doing that automatically when the website is set to that language, it’s done that to several people now. You can go in and change it back to English with subtitles. I think it’s a recent update they did with the auto dubbing and I’m not a fan of it myself. It sounds so robotic and kinda creepy lol. I’m gonna see if I can disable the auto dubbing or at least make it go to the original language first.
Wtf was that spanish dub 😭
It’s the stupid new AI audio translation - I did not green light that I assure you. UA-cam did this to all of us 😭 feel free to set it back to the original audio because if you have your app set to any language but English it adds a terrible ai generated auto translation 😭 I tried to turn it off but it won’t let me.
I want to see you actually thrift and put together masculine/androgynous outfits and have you/your husband model them. it's hard to find inspo online but even harder to find it in thrift stores imo. the thrift store mens section here is just a tiny section of crappy t-shirts, and the womens section is way too feminine. but maybe I'm just not looking in the right spots, or maybe I'm just not seeing the potential of the womens section since I'm a trans guy and want to stay away from presenting feminine.
No se por qué pero se reprodujo en español y fue la peor experiencia de mis oídos
Someone else mentioned there is an auto translated audio track and it sounds so uncanny. I didn’t even know they were auto translating audio.
@@DressMeUpScotty It's okay! It was also a surprise to me, sorry if a sounded rude! Great video tho! Can't wait to expand my style! 🥰
@@isabelquintana4435 You’re good didn’t sound rude at all! I’m also a little weirded out by the AI translation lol. Also the fact that we can do that now, sounds like something from Star Trek 😂 (universal translator)
