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.

Inspiration for this costume was clearly the great striped fabric!
And somehow I wanted something short, bold, but with a touch of Steampunk – and so this two-piece set consisting of a vest and a miniskirt came to be.
Since I imagined this costume in a circus arena from the start, I named it accordingly;-)

This was meant to be a simple, quick and alterable outfit that could be worn in many differnt combinations.
And that is exactly what it turned out to be. It looks a bit differntly and new in every combination :-)
The two hats Garrison Cap with Feathers and elegant Hat with Feathers make the changeableness and the possibilities of composition perfect.

These two pieces were made independently of each other and I did not plan to wear them as one outfit.
The blouse is an addition to my costumes for medieval fairs.
It has beautiful wide sleeves and the neckline can be regulated with a thin cord so that it can be worn off-the-shoulders. It also goes well with my stunning leather corset (see Victoria Prismall).
And I always wanted to have such a skirt and that also for daily use.
Since both pieces combined look nice, too, I am presenting them here as one :-)

The Night Circus is a book by Erin Morgenstern.
In her story about love and magic she describes a visually stunning world dominated by black and white that could not be more colourful and iridescent.
I had a thousand sewing ideas in mind while reading the book and this first actually sewn dress I dedicate to the character Poppet.
Poppet is a young girl with firey red hair who grew up in the Night Circus. Althought Poppet rather wears only white, I think of this Night Circus Dress as “her dress”.
It will certainly not be the last piece I will create inspired by this book.
Matching accessory are the Black Cameo Choker and the Black Cameo Earrings.

This dress is best suited for the cold time of year because of its soft, warm fabric.
The pattern and the trimmings remind of russian traditional costumes, softened by the flower print.
Matching the dress there are the Russian Flower Bag, the Russian Flower Choker and the Russian Flower Earrings.

This dress out of soft jersey is quite simple and above all it is comfortable to wear.
It can be worn as a mini dress or as a longshirt over skirts or trousers.

This outfit is intended to be Steampunk for every day.
The knee-length cord skirt has a big octopus with a button eye one one side and the simple jersey shirt is decorated with an ocopus on the opposite side, but barely noticeable.
The outfit is complete with the matching brown Jersey Cuffs and the Octopus Earrings :-)

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.
