Help, oh Costumed Ones

I know I haven't posted in forever; as for why, I've just been busy, with stuff... and while I'm following LJ still, I don't have as much to say

I'm not a Dickens person, but I like big bustles and I cannot lie.

Excellent. *steeples fingers*

(btw, I am hoping I can wrangle a New York trip soonish. Nothing planned yet. )

hi sweetie! Answering prior to getting packed and heading up there. :D

d'you remember Trulyvictorian.com? TV101, the basic bustle, took me about six hours, minus the ruffling, to put together, and that was with sizing up. I've got tons of hoop-steel to put into it, or you can order precut-and-tipped boning on the site. TV401 (I think) is the underskirt, and then you can pick any number of overskirts if you want to go crazy beyond that. :D

Woo! I should see how long it would take me to get it. Also, miss you!

I second the Truly Victorian suggestion ;D To be more precise, if it helps, my wedding dress skirt came from the Early Bustle stuff.

I think Steampunk tends to play with more late Victorian, but since steampunk isn't my thing (yes, take my temperature if you'd like...I don't dislike it, in fact, I'm just quite indifferent), so I couldn't tell you for sure.

if you are ready to buy stuff, the bizarre bazaar had a number of steampunk clothing vendors.
