Lets start off with a doll's top hat, a metal clock scrapbook addition, a tulle veil, bit of ribbon and a giant peacock feather. All found at your local craft store and hot glued together to a standard black headband while watching too much Life.
Next up the purse, 'cause let's be honest, my corset and dress won't have pockets. Also it's rare to find to find any woman's clothing item with any reasonable sized pockets, we do have needs clothing designers!! One cheap fake leather black purse, another metal clock from the scrapbooking section, bronze chain from jewelry, and a bit of metallic thread...BOOM.
Now for a little bit of sass. Some leftover tulle, ribbon, and steampunk-ish lock decorations and I have a clever way to hide my digital watch. It's all about appearances and I would feel naked without my watch so, concessions had to be made.
Speaking of black tulle, I probably shouldn't be proud that I just happened to have 10 yards just sitting in my house for a rainy day. Today is that day!! I needed a little bustle for my tussle, and with a little help from the folks on tumblr I slapped some tulle, ribbon, and fabric together over the weekend.
No pictures of this one but my shoes, let me tell you about my amazing shoes. There is a thing called rub 'n buff which is a wax based product and they sell it in a bunch of metallic colors, perfect for steam punk. I used antic gold rub 'n buff on an old pair of black flats and then sewed a couple of dangling keys onto the back of the heels, perfection. Add on a test tube garter (test tubes hot glued to a thin black belt and some navy ribbon) and I was set to go!
Luckily I got to the wedding site a day early so I could do last minute costuming for a couple of my friends... 3 emergency mini hats, 2 necklaces, and a set of earrings later we were all ready for the wedding!
