[Shiney Thing] Steampunkery: Hit Me.

[cliodhna]

Okay, now is the time of creating a Steampunkery Links Page. And possibly spending moneys. Maybe. *sideways look*

(At some point I will start getting specific about the CWS Nations - Indian Arcanapunk! French Cowboys! Greco-Shamanic nature worshipers! - but for now let's stick to general Steampunky goodness

I've never actually ordered from these guys, so I can't speak personally as to their quality (though their reviews are all good), but have been lusting after their stuff for a while:

I am a fan of the vests/waistcoats from Gentleman's Emporium. Good quality, if pricey.

A lot of Bess' Victorian stuff is from Recollections. Great customer service, in my experience. Good periodic sales. Pricey.

I LOOOVE Steampunk and Victorian fashion... I've spent alot of time doing research into it. Bear in mind, I am usually more of a go look get inspiration and make it happen in my sewing room.

Here are a few of my favorite places to go:

Gentleman's Emporium: http://www.gentlemansemporium.com
Steampunk Emporium: http://www.steampunkemporium.com/
Recollections: http://recollections.biz/
Steampunk Threads: http://www.steampunkthreads.com/

Much of Victorian costuming is based on corsets for women. But this is not the only option.

Check out this article:

I'll add more as I come up with them.

I've got another one.

I actually bought the corset that I wear as 424 at LE and Jane at 7V from this site. Its very comfortable and has held up well to the abuse I put it through.

AND...
If you are a DIY type.

Found another really nice place.
Mind you they seem to be a bit pricey and I've never bought from them. But I may soon.
