DISCLAIMER:
This fashion tends to call for a lot of leather, fur, wool, etc.
These "fabrics" support the torture and death of a lot of innocent animals, and I don't support that.
I just want to make sure everyone knows there is NO REASON that you can't wear this fashion/participate in this 'lifestyle' in a "cruelty-free" manner.
Trust me, I provide a lot of links to beautiful faux-leather products, etc.
If you have any questions/comments about this, I'd be happy to answer/address them.
































Shiny, am I right?

Easy Guide to No-Sew Collar Modifications

In the style of Vincent Dantes' H.M.S.* Amaranth, Lady Almira's H.M.S. Chronabelle, and Abney Park's H.M.S. Ophelia, I desired to gather my own crew, for my own ship! Jump aboard the H.I.M.A*. Latchkey!

*H.M.S.=Her Majesty's Ship. On the Ophelia, this bit is etched out. H.M.A. is a Steampunk alternative, designating an Airship.
H.I.M.A.=Her Imperial Majesty's Airship. Made up entirely by me for the sake of my Steampunk verse, which heeds an Empress, rather than a Queen. Random is love.

Amarante Backahasten
Name: Amarante Backahasten
Rank/Occupation: Resident Artist/Swordswoman
Other stuff: On board to draw from the inspiring life of those around her, and of course, for casual dueling. Something of a kleptomaniac, so if you've lost something you should check with her. You may not get it back right away, some things can be excellent for illustrative study. Full of eccentric sass and speaks with overly eloquent wordiness at times.

Name:
Rank/Occupation: Barista

Other stuff: I collect information. If there's something you need to know, I probably have the answer. Also, I have a little device that beeps when we're heading straight for enemies/trouble/certain death/etc. It's saved my life once or twice, but unfortunately, people don't listen to me all the time.

Cylrya
Name: Cylrya
Rank/Occupation: Naturalist.
Other stuff: I travel so I may chart the strange and wonderful happenings in this world. Long live the days where anyone can pick up a pad and quill, wander the earth and make a living from it, whilst also contributing to science.

[Sachi_x]

Hmm, pretty cool stuff o: Unfortunately, I have no idea how to help. Perhaps try crafting your own stuff? I'm sure you could find odds and ends to use as embellishments/etc. in antique stores, or even hardware stores.

@Oliver - That guitar is sick-nasty o: I'm in love heart Hah!

[Taphonomy]

My boyfriend and I did that for a while. We were on a total Bruce Sterling kick.

We raided the local vintage/thrift shops for stuff. It worked out quite nicely.

I didn't know a style like this actually existed. I've seen it in Steamboy and other anime/mang, but that is pretty cool looking.
