I made this dress in 2005, it was one of my first dark-romantic gowns, sadly the pics are not so good.
My boyfriend made them very late at the evening and the light was not the best one, I hope you can see everything so far

This gown is named after one of the most famous "parties" at my favourite club - a gothic club here about less than an hour to drive from where I live - called "Göttertanz".

With this dress I wear a purchased bride's hoop skirt, but I'm not very pleased with it because its bright white and if you dance nothing is more better to see than a white underskirt under a black gown in a black club where everything and everyone else is pitch-black
I'm planning to make myself a better one with frills over the hoops so that they can't be seen at the overskirt.

The overskirt is a simple self-drafted pattern for everyday long skirts that I use very often, but this time cut four pieces rather than two and gathered at the top to a waistband.

The bodice is made from an old 70s pattern that my mother still kept in her sewing stuff. It is my favourite pattern, you can change it in so many ways and with the right color an trimmings it is just perfect for gothic clothing

This one is made of (obvious ) black satin, like the matching skirt and trimmed with black velvet applications, ornamental trimmings and lots of black an silver sequins and rocailles.

I sold the bodice to a friend, I never wore it again, but I still have the skirt.
