I found another sketch of mine, and after adjusting the colors in GIMP, I'm really liking it. Who knows, maybe I'll end up making it for prom. I know I most definitely want to make my own dress, and I've had a few ideas that I've been tossing around. Perhaps this one will make the cut.
Not especially steampunk, but with the right accessories it could work. So far it's a peridot green fishtail gown -- strapless and with brass buttons connected by brass chains, with a royal purple hip scarf and arm-warmers to match. Black parasol, most likely to be edged in bronze, and a short sleeved tail coat in black and bronze pin-striping. Mini-topper, lace cravat and a leather arm cuff to complete the look. If I do end up making this for prom, I'll probably end up adding my clock hand earrings as they have peridot and bronze accents.
