Black velvet Steampunk Goth Victorian Ladies clothing store retro WTC1

This jacket is made from black velvet, cut in a retro Victorian style for gothic and steampunk costume outfits. The fitted waist, structured collar and rich velvet finish give it a luxurious period look that suits conventions, cosplay and photography, where the fabric’s depth catches the light well. Velvet is soft and comfortable to wear against other layers such as a blouse or corset, and it’s lighter than a leather jacket,

which helps with comfort over a full day of wear. The classic black colourway also makes it easy to build a full gothic or steampunk outfit around. Fit is close through the waist and bust, so please check our size guide before ordering. It suits both convention wear and everyday gothic styling, pairing easily with a blouse, corset or simple black separates. Made to measure is available for a more tailored fit.
