Well, I can't say for certain what happened to her, but I /do/ know
that most of the clothing from that place wound up in the Mystic East
in Box Hill (gods I love that shop!)... Also try Sally's Hats on Smith
Street, the clothing she makes there is verra similar if I remember
correctly, and of lovely quality.

ok..which peril was it?
Was it when Peril was on Swanston street? If so I think it was
Phantazeum, If it was peril Underground, downstairs then its always
Been Arachne.
I dont know whats happened to Phantazeum, But last time I checked
Arachne was still a going concern...
*shrug*...beyond that, cant help..sorry....

Phantazeum's moved to Chapel Street. Might be able to hunt up the exact
address if people are interested. They existed at Peril Underground for a
while but got pissed off at the-guy-wot-owns-Peril-whose-name-I-can't-recall.

Phantazeum is still in existence, on Chapel Street (the more pov end,
not the yuppy end) ... and Phantazeum downstairs was at Peril Underground
at one stage, a year or two ago ... but they fell into problems with the
landlords ... it hasn't always been Arachne ... but other than that, I can't
say I know the location of this mysterious tailor - maybe a description
of her or her clothing may give me more direction, but hmm

Yesyes! Would be /very/ interested in getting the address, or at
least vague directions...
I needs new clothes.

Walked past there yesterday morning. It was closed but from what I could see
it was rather raver-dominated in style!

make much difference ... but yes, if you do go, you will notice
that there is quite a lot of colour and raver type material throughout,
I think that Jo's, but maybe Cassandra has some input as well.
In any case, its impressive nonetheless, and there is still a lot of
other great goth stuff in there from other tailors, Tragedy and
Asylum Couture to mention a few brands ...

I'd say you need to watch who you hear stories from, then.
