Liquiwork is an ebay store that  has bit of everything, much of its stuff doesn´t fit particularly in fantasy garments and fall directly into standard modern  fashion, but among the collection you can find some outstanding one of a kind item mostly Vintage, or Hollywood or even victorian. I was surfing ebay and I ended up in this listing, is a green and gold Ball costume... and it's just OUTSTANDING... judge yourself... look at that trail!!  It´s really expensive... but it does really show. They also feature some Hollywood-vintage-styled gowns that worth a look even if only for ideas.... But this green and gold... ooh it´s mossy and I love it! They have also other garments closer to the Rococo and Marie Antoinette look like the following:

As I recommended before MAC make up is great so just a reminder in case of need. Women's long hair was replaced by very "boyish"  haircut style , skirts shorter, a cigarrete in the hand, and ready for the Charleston!. A symbol of the woman liberation at the beginning of XX century... Then all you can do is to go the " twenties flapper look" adding a short dress, the right shoes, a headband and string of pearls... so delightfully vintage now! And here also some suggested reading about women in those years. And here in detail  about 20's make up.

 

Bibian Blue: dark clothing with vintage spice!

Read article

Bibian Blue is a fashion designer based in Barcelona. So as it's my city, I have the luck to be able to visit the store and spend a time in awe with her awesome dresses and gowns. From XVIII Maria Antoniette's style tops and corsets to prom skirts with full petticoats. The variety of designs, moods and fabrics is enormous and every piece full of fantasy and imagination and all spiced with a "vintage" lovely mood. If you like almost any other style from fetish to cyber-wear (that I'm not so familiar with) she has also plenty of examples.
