Steampunk

[hypersteve]

I have to come up with a new character for a project i'm working on. The theme is a female from the 1890's who is a serious hunter and killer. Only thing is, a lot of the Steampunky things I see out in the web world are a bit trashy( high skirt lines, really low cut blouses, and I think that since the project takes place in the Victorian era, the codes of ethics alive at that time wouldn't allow those types of deviations from polite clothing.  I also want her to be sexy and powerful. I don't want my work to look like so much of the video game girl in a tiny skirt thing that seems so prevalent especially form that era..

Any thoughts? Images Coolness?
