LoJ Masquerade Costume 2011

Patchwork Steampunk

Skirt, sleeves, shirt, mask: Me!
Leather tailcoat from Crimson Chain.
Vintage lace collar cameo brooch, and other jewelry from my Great Aunt Helen
Stockings from Sockdreams.com
Boots from I can't remember where, but aren't they cool?

Model: Me!

This was my new Friday night costume for this year's Labyrinth of Jareth Masquerade Ball, which was vaguely steampunk themed. I wanted to do more with this; it needs lots of belts, and some better accessories, but I ran out of time. I'm still fairly pleased with it, and it's easy to add more stuff.
Skirt, shirt, sleeves and mask made entirely from scrap fabric I already had in my possession. Silk, wool, and whatever synthetic the shiny red and gold fabric is. That patchwork was a major pain to make!
