Steampunk Girl
"Here for you, in all its glory, is my steampunk costume. I’ve been a
huge fan of steampunk for ages now, and finally this year i got around
to making my very own outfit. It’s not the best or the most amazing, but
i was pretty proud in the end.
I thought it might be cool to have a sort of character to go with my
outfit, which yes, is pretty lame, but then, i’m pretty lame. So her
name is Lizzie (she doesn’t have a cool last name yet) and she’s an
airship mechanic in the RAF. I even wore my great uncle George’s real
RAF pin! She signed up disguised as a man but when they found her out
she was too good a mechanic to dismiss, of course. So thats why she
wears pants and is all grimy.
I love the array of strong female characters in a lot of steampunk,
which is part of the reason i didn’t go for a big dress or anything. I’m
not super girly, and my hair just didn’t really scream “steampunk
gentlewoman” to me, so i thought the tomboy thing would work. It’s a lot
more me this way.
I actually made every item except for the shirt and boots, and i
painted the nerf gun myself. Hence the being proud. I’ll post more over
the next few days about how i did it and more photos of each part, but i
really wanted to get something up quick tonight :) hope you enjoyed!"
