Boston-area 'cool clothes' shopping

So, where do (female) people go around here to buy their goth/retro/clubbing/vintage-styled clothing?

Asking for someone else on my friends list who's despairing of Boston's ability to provide.

what other people said, unless your friend is not skinny. Things get a lot harder then... though Torrid can be nifty, and if your friend is into Indian rayon/velvet/embroidered stuff that's fairly easy to find. (Mine is from a small shop in Coolidge Corner by the movie theater.)

Now if someone could tell me where to get boots that fit around my ginormous calvesm I'd be happy.

You'll have better luck with that online or through catalogues. The Lane Bryant catalogue (and other like it, like Roaman's) sell boots with larger-circumference shafts.

Hi, I'm the friend JB's kindly trying to point in the right direction. I'm actually normal size for the most part but because I'm short I also have trouble fitting tall boots around my ginormous calves. Most shoe stores are happy to stretch boots for you for free though! I'm currently looking for a new pair of stompy gothy boots. Any help greatly appreciated.
