It is the Albert tailcoat. A regency style inspired militair tailcoat. The tailcoat is adorned with silver leaves on the front and the collar and cuffs. The Collar and cuffs are trimmed with a silver piping.
The picture is beyond horrible, but I will replace it with a better one as soon as I have the ( Read more... )

I remember a post of a beautiful SP re-imagining of a vivandiere uniform.  I've checked through the tags, and can't find it!  Please help direct me, a friend is looking for military ideas, and I wanted to show off how cool this community was!  All I remember is that it was very well made, and the lady in question had a telescope as one of her props ( Read more... )

Hello all,

I'm still a bit new to steampunk, but certainly not to fashion. I was talking to a friend today about our steampunk personas, and have finally decided on one. His is a submarine mechanic, which is all well and good for him, but I would like something a little more elegant. And so, I have decided to create something like a military ( Read more... )

My lovely wife cluegirl and I attended the Stroll today and had a wonderful time.  I attended as a Major in Her Majesties 151st Royal Dragoons and Clue attended in her walking gown.  We both still need to add the furniture to Steam things up a bit, but it was indeed a lovely time.  I am placing the photos behind the cut for the bandwidth impared.

These are the pics that came off the camera of my friend, Josh, the unofficial official photographer of the wedding. All full body/distance shots. Once again,  my dearest of friend and co-conspirator, spkarrion  as Otto the Mechanically Enhanced Jaegermonster. I decided to not post the pictures he has of me boogying Victorian style. There are still a couple ( Read more... )

I've finished the shako for my Prussian-style military outfit as some of you know, but I've been having second thoughts on the beauty. It sits fairly jauntily (don't ask how I managed this) on my head, but I'm worried about the over all tall and grandiose scale of it looking dorky (YOU WERE THINKING THE MARCHING BAND COMMENT TOO, DON'T LIE). I ( Read more... )
