Gothic Renaissance

Owned by the same folks behind Halloween Adventure next door, this high-end alternative boutique sells exotic and fantasy apparel sourced from all over the world. Gals will go gaga over the wall of sexy lace and glitter corsets ($50–$500) made with real steel or plastic boning. The house label’s Victorian-style knee-length corset dresses ($170), featuring rose embroidery and long lace trains, would lend themselves nicely to zombie bride looks, while guys can up their scare factor with Lip Service skull-patterned long-sleeve mesh shirts ($45) and spider-adorned suspenders featuring coffin-shaped clasps ($20). Perhaps most impressive of all is the shop’s wall of handmade masks ($70–$400), most notably traditional Italian papier-mâché styles ($70) featuring musical notes and gold swirls and sculpted skeleton-shaped leather versions adorned with feathers ($290). For trippy kicks, head to the back of the shop, where you’ll find Pleaser pumps whose eight-inch platforms light up on the sides ($125).
