Allo' fine and fancy-free dandies!

This is just a wee tickle of a photo shoot avec models with a tiny fraction of my steampunk mask collection (available for purchase on Etsy).

Overall I think the pictures came out beautifully -pensive, brooding, decadent. I can't WAIT to continue with more pictures in the New Year in the unbelievable new location ( Read more... )

Steampunk Projects

After spending the better half of an hour explaining Steampunk to a much older coworker, I realized I have never shared with this community the various creations this genre has inspired me to create. And I don't even have to explain what Steampunk is to you all!

The winter months in New England are dark and cold, and thus I spent most of my time ( Read more... )

Steampunk Sewing Patterns

So, Simplicity has released a new steampunk sewing pattern, and I think it's pretty awesome.

To celebrate, I made a post on my blog with a bunch of sewing patterns with steampunk potential, including a whole lot of free ones.

In fact, I have a whole category of posts on my blog that are nothing but links to steamy patterns.

Hope it's useful!

A little steamy knitted shrug

lady_fellshot wrote in steamfashion Oct 23, 2011 12:18

I knitted this up since I get cold very easily and I wanted something that would give me a few more options with the "explorer in Mongolia" outfit theme I've been running with as of late. That and I really like how it turned out and thought I would share the result.

So I have this dress that I bought from a friend last autumn. I wore it last Halloween as Anne Elliot from Jane Austen's Persuasion, and I plan on wearing it again this year but I want to go for a Steampunk look (without having to sew anything TO the dress so I can still wear it as a historical Regency piece).

Therefore, my question to you, ( Read more... )

Steamy prints, ahoy!

saraquill wrote in steamfashion Jul 31, 2011 20:26

I've been reintroduced to spoonflower.com, which offers people the chance to design their own fabric prints, as well as let others buy fabric in the site's vast library of patterns. The prices aren't cheap, but since the prints runs are rather small scale, I can understand it.

sauciwench wrote in steamfashion Jul 19, 2011 16:58

Hi everyone,

The latest how-I-did it post at the Steam Wench's Salon (link below) involved me taking a quirky little thrift store find and, with just the addition of trim and the changeout of it's closure, turning it into a funky little steampunk jacket. Full details are on my blog at the link below (along with many other posts, largely costuming ( Read more... )
