Another Steampunk Adventure Costume

Ladies' Steam Punk Victorian Times Remix

I must admit, I love upcycling! Taking gently used clothes and altering them, adding to them, and creating something the original wearer didn't see, is so much fun! And it helps to know that you are saving something from the land fill, at least for sometime! Well, this costume is a prize! The skirt is a durable woollen type material, with detailed embroidery outlining the hemline! The colors are muted, but clear - blueish grey, copper, and brass.  I knew just how to match it to this beautiful blouse! I added a vintage flower to the center of the brass medallion and stitched a ruffle of copper material that I had from a previous costume! I finished with an addition of black ruffles down the front, and accessorized with a little hand bag.

Creative Steam Punk Victorian

Steampunk Costume, Victorian & Mod Time Altered

This unique costume is made from upcycled articles of clothing, 

each altered and embellished in their own way.  

The suit jacket and skirt have been washed, mended, and altered.  The suit has been embellished with a vintage brass button and has a silver key attached to one pocket.

The skirt is made on the diagonal with a gilded pocket that appears as a sachet.  Time has been merciful to these pieces as each is in new condition.

 High leather boots are going to look great with this one!

The neck choker is made of a vintage kerchief, ribbon, and embellished with aged chain, and a cameo medallion.  The choker tied behind the neck, creating a time-warped image of the victorian cravat.  Here the stylish cravat and the lady's choker have morphed into one.

Day 27 of the 40 Day Challenge: Steampunk Parasol and Great Banners and Signs

And now for something new, I tried my hand at Steam Punk!  Gears, and top hats, with black stripes: it seems like something out of the Alice in Wonderland book or movie!

I love how it turned out, and I added tassels to the top.  

And now for our featured guest!

Steampunk Victorian Reversable hat!

 

Feathers, metal, vintage brown.  This lovely woolen blend hat is both cute and reversible.
Yes, that is right, even with that enormous wing of feathers!
The decoration is one fully attached piece.  It attaches to the hat by means of a bar pin and a alligator clip.  The bar pin, when inserted and latched, carries the main weight. The alligator clip, clips to the ridge near the brim to provide balance.

 
(See above examples of alligator and bar pins.)
