Steampunk?

By Hellagoddess. 23/09/08, 05:52 am

Since I couldn't be bothered making a new outfit in such a short space of time - I've gone a different route and decided to match a friend of mine - we'll be going in our own created steampunk outfits! Though I know this isn't really cosplay or anything, as it's not a particular character, I'm quite looking forward to it! We're only going one day though - still haven't decided which either!

Anyone else interested in this particular genre?

I love the look, but I haven't tried it myself - yet!
Can't wait to see your costumes ^^

Technically it's still cosplay - the japanese call lolita and such cosplay. XP But yay! I love steampunk! I did my character design for design based around steampunk. ^w^

Hahah, I haven't actually made the costume, but I have the drawings I can upload, if you'd like. n_n

Wow! That's really neat! I really like her corset and the colours you've used. My outfit is leaning a bit more towards the Victorian side...I'm in the midst of making a kind of...small top hat to go with it. Though I actually think that my friend is going to look very Amish when he's done with his outfit! Haha!

I promise to post photos when I'm done!

I wish I had time and skills to make cool costumes like that >_<

Everything I sew falls apart, everything I dye is too diluted and everything I hot glue gun.. Well, I hot glue gun good!

@Hellagoddess: Yeah, that one's quite sky piratey. I have another design with is semi lolita-ish, which I can also post if you'd like to see it. :3

Yeah that would be great! I'm always interested to see people's takes on the style, it's so diverse and so many things can be called steampunk haha - I'm just hoping I get the mix right as it's different to mucking around with your mates to wearing something in the public eye haha I bought an abolsutely epic fob watch off trademe (god I love that site) where the entire thing is clear and see through bar a tiny strip around the edge, so you can see all the gears working inside it :3
