Copper Roses

Copper Roses
With this outfit I have another typical Steampunk ensemble in my Klamottenkiste :-)
This started with the opulent rose fabric and from there on I developed it further.
The skirt of the Alterable Steampunk Combination belongs to this now just as much.

As accessories for this I made the Brown Net Gloves and the Button Choker.

Ballgown Bodice

Ballgown Bodice
At the prospect of being able to attend a Steampunk ball on short notice, I had a little what-to-wear-panik-attack. After all I never made a victorian ballgown ;-)
There was not enough time to sew a whole dress. So I decided to just make a new bodice for my Copper Dress.

It worked: I like the dress as a ballgown the same way I like the original version ;-)

The accessories like the Clockwork Lace Choker and the Cogwheel Cameo Earrings are a perfect match for the ballgown as well!

Mourning Robe

Mourning Robe
There were strict rules for how long you had to go into mourning in the victorian times, depending on the degree of relationship and standing of the deceased and which could extend up to a whole year.
That is why a woman in a mourning dress was not a rare sight these days.

This outfit is a tailbodice and a lace-apron over a plain skirt.
Even the underwear, consisting of a petticoat and bloomers, is mourning-black.

The matching accessoiries are the Mourning Hat and the Bag for the Mourning Robe.

Summer Rose

Summer Rose
All my kitsch-attacks have been concentrated to make this friendly coloured dress… and it is absolutely sweet :-)
The pattern belongs to the period of about 1873, the fabric and the embroidery could have come almost from that time as well.

The polonaise by itself is completed with a green skirt with the same embroidery as on the trimmings of the polonaise. The white petticoat with ther beautiful eyelet embroidery on the hemline and the flouncy embroidered cul-de-Paris are underneath.

The matching accessory are the Summer Rose Bag, the Summer Cameo Choker and the Butterfly Cameo Earrings.

Dark Victorian Gown

Dark Victorian Gown
This victorian gown is rather simple and for victorian standards quite understated. Even if it looks like a dress from the early bustle era, it gets along with a basic cul de paris and the gathering and train are very low-key.

The outfit is complete with the Dark Victorian Hat.

Copper Dress

Copper Dress
This beautiful victorian dress out of coppery flock-taffeta and plenty of black laceband is pure Steampunk. It consists of a plain skirt, a bum-pillow, a bustled overskirt and a delightful jacket.

To get a greater shape for the whole thing, you can wear for example the long Petticoat underneath and a corset, so that the jacket fits just perfectly.

Matching the outfit I made the Copper Leaflet and a Pompadour Bag.
