Slowly getting my Steampunk outfit together (well a new one anyways, my older one is…well…old and over worn as far as I’m concerned. I want a new look).
I just bought a military/airship crew cap form Abney Park and after my next pay check I’ll be buying dogtags and a small patch (for the hat). Over Christmas I plan on stealing my grandmother’s sewing machine (which was all the rage in Victorian England, see my fashion post in the History section). With this technological amazingness I’ll sew bronze fabric (in the shapes of clockwork gears) on a large piece of black fabric. This fabric I plan to sew on the inside of a long coat (which I hope to find before doing all the sewing and work. If not I’ll…make a skirt).
To this I’ll add a pair of black trousers and I’m not sure what to do with top yet.
Eventually I hope to have the funds to buy the Abney Park map corset…but that’ll be far in the future. Oh and a top hat, and goggles, and chest suspenders (weird name I know but they look cool). Oh and I will be glad to take donations be they monetary or gifts.
