>Different silhouettes overall. Sweet=more exaggerated shapes, fuller skirts, and shorter bodices. Gothic=longer bodices, generally either longer overall or ero length, cleaner lines
>Different lace obviously
>Gothic tends to have less flounces and frills overall (except for brands like AtPie but they take a lot of inspiration from burlesque and circusy themes)
Although in all honesty it matters less than people think. A lot of brands release pieces that could go either way depending on the rest of the coord. Plus it's also kind of a "i know it when i see it" thing that gets more refined the longer you're in the fashion.
