If you’ve been hunting around the online gothic couture shops for any length of time, you’ve probably heard of Azrael’s Accomplice. Both Azrael’s Accomplice and AZAC Designs (a “less gothy” line of gowns and eveningwear) are the children of designer Tracy Robertson, often called by her nickname Batty. If you’re looking for that perfect gothic wedding dress, or even just a gothic gown to wear on an evening out, you might want to check out Azrael’s Accomplice.
Tracy has been creating stunning alternative clothing for over ten years, and her history as a costume designer shows through in her dramatic gowns and corsets.
The Azrael’s Accomplice line features Tracy’s high-end gothic couture gowns (stunning pieces) and corsets, as well as some ready-to-wear and club pieces. These are all designed for the gothic sensibility, but have a sensitivity about them, which makes them accessible to non-goths.
Tracy wanted to expand her clothing line, so designed the AZAC line to appeal to non-gothic types. The AZAC line features avant-garde coctail dresses, wedding gowns, and fashion corsetry.
All of Tracy’s designs tell a story and inspire a mood. The gowns in particular evoke fantasmagorical places, forgotten lands and magical women. They’re emotive pieces that set a tone for a wedding. An AZAC gown would suit the dramatic, avant-garde, ethereal and fantastical bride.
Tracy’s opened up an Etsy store with discounted gowns, corsets and other pieces. It’s well worth a look. I’ve even put that gothic pixie dress on my to-buy list.
