I'm About to start a couple of threadbanger inspired pieces for my next Steampunk costume. I'm going to be working on it today. If I get done in a due time, I'll post photos today. Wish me luck!

I'm going to be attempting my twist on the woman's shirt from this video:

And maybe with the left overs of the shirt I will make these Gloves:

I finished everything in about 3 hours and I made a pretty nice looking prop weapon and everything! I spend about $6.00 for the shirt and prop. I'll post pictures tomorrow.

I liked the bustle skirt idea...except it seems a bit time consuming to use the tape. I may just make the caging and use a wee bit of tape to keep the joints to stay in place

Yeah, I saw this awhile back during my steampunk research. Good ole' tried and true DIY. I was thinking of something similar to the shirt and the skirts. Wearing a peasant skirt that's shirred on the sides for a victorian shape and a white one under it so it looks like a petticoat. The shirt idea is waaay to good.

Wow, kickass! You look like the avi in your siggy. What'd you do, mod a button down shirt?

Yup Yup! My first costume I made from scratch, no modding, just fabric and a lot of time, this time I'm trying to make a quicky outfit for next weekend. haha

Wow it looks really good. I've been meaning to make stuff but exams are consuming all the time I'd need. D:

This is the sketch I did for this outfit. I just scanned it... I'm really lazy.

blaugh I finished my costume. It's a bit varied from the drawing but I'm wearing it to an event this weekend and I'll be able to post photos early next week!
