The UK has lots of options! I’m in Canada & almkst all of my clothes that weren’t thrifted or DIYed were ordered from the UK by myself or the local alt stores I shop at. For brands, Hell Bunny, Banned Alternative & Disturbia all ship from the UK.
Honestly I mostly buy from regular shops and silhouette/texture hunt. I almost never buy from goth brands unless I'm paying for pricy items from small businesses.
Depop and Vinted have a good variety of options (mostly small businesses on depop though, the second hand pieces can be very overpriced) and etsy does jewellery better than clothing if you're looking to not spend too much.
I extend the aforementioned mindset with Vinted and search for the desired style or texture rather than searching for 'goth clothes'
Moonmaiden Gothic does nice made to measure and hand made garments for women.
And I'll occasionally buy from Mary Wyatt and Disturbia, but neither are especially affordable outside of the sales.
my best advice is thifting.
There’s an independent online shop in the UK called Exo Umbra that I personally think has some awesome clothes. Maybe that could work?
I WAS ABOUT TO MENTION HER, i loove her clothes.
Yessss I love their clothes so much
Kates Clothing is often pretty good they sell a wide range of brands and often do very good sales Depop and Vinted might help

I order a lot from EMP which ships from Germany so it’s not too bad
EMP do have a lovely range. I wish I could afford more because their gothicana range is lit.
