##### V2 is here! #####

v2 is the same dataset, but with better resolution, bucket training, better LoRA rank and subtriggers for better control. Read the description!!

If you are using ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude and so on for your prompt generation, you can feed it with this paste so the model knows directly how to use the LoRA - example prompts included.

This LoRA captures a dark gothic fashion and alternative clubwear style characterized by black lace, sheer mesh, fishnet textures, corset construction, leather garments, strappy cutouts, harness details, silver hardware, layered tulle, gothic dresses, fetish-inspired silhouettes and dark romantic styling. The model learned how to apply gothic clothing elements such as sheer lace tops, structured corsets, cutout bodysuits, black lingerie sets, gothic mini dresses, long dark gowns, leather pants, garter straps, thigh-high stockings, platform boots, chokers, chains, buckles, O-rings and body-framing strap details to a wide variety of fashion concepts.

It works particularly well for dark gothic editorials, alternative clubwear, gothic lingerie, corset fashion, romantic gothic gowns, mesh and lace outfits, leather pants styling, vampiric fashion concepts, black-on-black fashion looks and sensual gothic photoshoots, but the style can also transfer well to urban night scenes, candlelit interiors, gothic architecture, boudoir styling, nightclub fashion and dramatic high-fashion editorials.

Main trigger:

darkgothicstuff

Use this trigger in every prompt to activate the general dark gothic fashion style.

Optional subtriggers:

darkgothic_clubwear

Use for modular outfit combinations such as sheer mesh tops, lace tops, crop tops, skirts, shorts, pants, fishnets, boots, chains and gothic nightlife looks.

darkgothic_lingerie

Use for lingerie-based looks, sheer lace underwear, bras, panties, garter belts, stockings, boudoir outfits, fetish-inspired lingerie and transparent lace bodywear.

darkgothic_bodysuit

Use for one-piece gothic bodysuits, cutout bodysuits, strappy bodies, catsuit-like designs, high-cut bodywear and body-framing cutout garments.

darkgothic_minidress

Use for short gothic dresses, black mini dresses, sheer mini dresses, lace mini dresses, corset mini dresses and playful dark romantic dress silhouettes.

darkgothic_longdress

Use for long gothic dresses, floor-length gowns, romantic black gowns, layered tulle dresses, velvet gowns, sheer lace dresses, dramatic cape-like dresses and dark formalwear.

darkgothic_corset

Use for structured corsets, corset tops, waist-cinching bodices, boning channels, lace-up corsets, bustiers, corset belts and corset-based outfits.

darkgothic_harness

Use as an additional trigger for strong harness construction, leather straps, cage-like body framing, O-ring connectors, buckles, thigh straps, body straps and fetish-inspired hardware.

darkgothic_leatherpants

Use as an additional trigger when you want black leather pants, glossy leather pants, faux leather pants, patent leather pants or tight gothic leather trousers.

The training set includes many different types of dark gothic fashion elements, for example:

• sheer black lace tops, transparent mesh tops and floral lace panels

• black corsets, bustiers, corset dresses and waist-cinching bodices

• gothic lingerie sets, lace bras, panties, garter belts and thigh-high stockings

• strappy cutout bodysuits, harness bodysuits and cage-like bodywear

• gothic mini dresses, long black gowns, layered tulle dresses and velvet dresses

• glossy black leather pants, faux leather pants, patent leather details and leather skirts

• fishnet stockings, spiderweb mesh, lace gloves and sheer sleeves

• silver chains, O-rings, buckles, studs, spikes, zippers and metal hardware

• chokers, collars, cross pendants, crescent moon jewelry, pentagram details and gothic accessories

• platform boots, lace-up boots, high heels and fetish-inspired footwear

• black, deep red, burgundy, dark purple, charcoal, silver and gunmetal color palettes

The LoRA focuses on clothing design, material behavior, gothic silhouettes, lace and mesh transparency, leather shine, corset structure, strap placement, hardware details, accessories and dark fashion styling, not on specific identities or faces.

Because of this, the style can also transfer well to other fashion domains such as:

• alternative clubwear

• gothic lingerie editorials

• dark romantic fashion

• vampiric fashion

• gothic bridal or formalwear

• leather fashion

• fetish-inspired fashion editorials

• dark fantasy fashion

• urban gothic streetwear

• black-on-black high-fashion looks

Usage note: For best results, describe the garment type clearly. Use darkgothic_clubwear for top-and-bottom outfits, darkgothic_lingerie for transparent lace or boudoir lingerie looks, darkgothic_corset for structured corset pieces, darkgothic_longdress or darkgothic_minidress for dresses, and add darkgothic_harness or darkgothic_leatherpants only when those elements should be especially visible. If you prompt only the main trigger, the LoRA may create a general dark gothic fashion look with black lace, mesh, fishnets, boots and dark styling.

Would love if you post your creations here with it.

The LoRA was trained on the default flux1-dev model for maximum compatibility.

Dataset and training data:

• 392 images

• 3 steps per image

• 10 epochs

• bucks with 1152px max size, no auto scaling

• cosine scheduler with 0.2 warmup and 0.7 decay

• Captioning was done with OpenAI

• alpha == dim: 32

If you use it with other loras, for example a character lora, try to lower the weight - I had good results at around 0.4.

As always: I did not polish any of the images in the showcase, they all came out like this. I did 2 images per prompt and picked the better looking one. But I used a pretty high weight at 0.95 - you might want to lower it for more realistic looking images.

##### V1 Description #####

Ever looked for fancy and versatile clothing for your gothic, vampire or metal cuties? Well then, here it is. This LoRA is trained on many different outfits and materials, for example: leather harnesses, mini, midi an long gothic dresses, corsets with chains and straps, bodysuits and tops with extensive cutouts (Adam Saaks style), lingerie with lace and chains, clothing parts in the shape of bat wings, mesh and fishnet tops, leather pants (with and without cutouts), lace and tulle skirts, strappy dresses with cutouts, black boots in different styles.

While the dataset was SFW (and I used the default flux1-dev model), all of that is more or less SFW. But as soon as you use a NSFW flux model, you can create some spicy stuff as shown in the gallery.

Dataset and training data:

• 393 images

• ~ 370 different outfits

• 9 steps per image

• 9 epochs (Wanted to do 10 but I reached a plateau and there was nothing else to learn at around 85%)

• cosine scheduler with 0.2 warmup and 0.8 decay

• Captioning was done with joycap-batch

Some example images have the triggerword clothing_darkgothicstuff, but that's wrong - this was a copy/paste error, the correct triggerword is only darkgothicstuff, although you probably don't need it. If you use it with other loras, for example a character lora, try to lower the weight - I had good results at around 0.5 and lower.
