I thought so, as are the ones that you've posted... :P
Here are a couple more, from Clements Ribeiro's fall 2004 show.

(Notice the skull on the last one- very Gothic Lolita).

Just two more for now, a larger view of the black flowered one.
That lacey black dress is from the same season, by Rochas.
