Steampunk thoughts

[sstormwatch]

Looking around at steampunk things online, patterns, fashions, corsets, spats, whatever... just trying to get a feel of the genre, and seeing what's going on locally. And I am realizing that the local scene things seem to be more on the vampire/goth style (not all the pics, just a few). Well, I kind of outgrew vampire when we left the Camarilla

Hey sweetie!
I dug up some photos for you, some are a little more everyday wear, although still clearly not modern. Others are a show of how a 'proper lady' might pull off a steam punk look, while others show a little more variety in the men's wear beyond the traditional Edwardian/regency gentleman's outfits.
You really can go anywhere with this, but adding props, embellishments, and jewelry to whatever you decide to make for Dickens would work just fine.
Can't wait to see what you do!

Oooh! These are fantastic! That first one is like Borg meets bustle! Beyond awesome!

Those are some wonderful pics. The first one, Rose, seems to be made as a mechanical doll, rather like the one in Girl Genius some issues back. Wonderful work there.

And it is good to see that there is a wide variety I can work with. It was the local scene that perhaps got me down, as I'm too old to be running around in just my undies.

Thank you so much for sharing these photo links with me. It's inspiring.
