EvaDress
Just in time for the holidays, here’s a site to spend a whole bunch of money! Woo-hoo!
EvaDress specializes in creating reproductions of patterns dating from the 1860s through the 1950s, including several interesting designs that I haven’t seen on other vintage pattern sites (the single caveat being the same one I have about most pattern vendors, in that men and children tend to be underrepresented). The prices are quite reasonable for repro patterns, and the styles are very goth-friendly: Of particular interest, obviously, is the Bat Dress dating from the 1880s. I’ve seen the drawing elsewhere and have always been struck by how adorably vintage it looked. (There are a couple more photos of the reproduction here.)
The site also has a companion blog with loads of photos and build notes, which are either an excellent source of inspiration or (if you’re like me) a super-fast way to feel really inadequate about your sewing skills.
There’s some gorgeous, really unique designs–go take a look!

A friend of mine and I just made a pact to go full steampunk at a work event next June. This block will be veeeery helpful.

As if I didn’t feel inadequate enough already.
