Steampunk Fashion

While I am still learning to make my own corsets, I had to purchase this pretty blue one.  I  was at least able to make my own sleeves though.  

The great thing about steampunk is you can get creative and be as simple or as complex as you want.  For my costume, I had collected various found objects over time, such as jewelry pieces and leather belts, to create tools and gadgets. An old brown skirt was found at the thrift shop, and I added some ruffles to it.  To top it off, add some goggles and aviator hats to get the neo-Victorian pilot look.

Thanks for visiting!

Flapper Film Star

Okay so flappers are an easy costume to throw together, but what's more fun is playing the part of a real flapper.  I chose Colleen Moore, a 1920s filmstar flapper who rocked the bobbed hair.

 So take a moment and watch old films or clips on the web and play the roll of a true flapper for the night.
