Please keep Jan, 10,11 & 12 th 2014 open for the Queen Mary Steampunk Symposium, in Long Beach,CA. This will be the 3 rd year. As part of Victoria, Queen of Steam’s Court, I can say it has been a wonderful and wildly creative event. You can mix your standard Victorian pieces in with SteamPunk additions and easily swing on over the the “Steam”side.
So grab your brass goggles and Steam on over !

I have some friends who are really into steampunk, and I’ve hovered at the edge a bit, but I really do think I shall look into it more. Some of the contraptions are so interesting.

And I totally loved your blue gown and was very impressed when you told me you hadn’t sewn in 20 years. Very good work! It was so nice to meet you too.

The pink/white gown you wore in the Fashion Show is breathtaking, and the Slytherin dress, incredible. All the ladies in the Show created beautiful fashion pieces from a time gone by. The blue dress I wore was my first Victorian. I now see many things to do differnt next time, and look forward to reading more of your posts and insights to help guide me along my newly begun historial sewing journey. It was an honor to be part of the Fashion Show with you.

I’ll admit I have yet to make a “real” Steampunk outfit as I’m so rooted in “regular” Victorian. But I’m collecting fabrics and findings for my SP. It’ll be made soon!

And yes, there is definitely room for both in your costume closet. 🙂
Cheers!

The hat too captured my heart. Then I drooled when I saw the wedding cake dress. Then I fell out of my chair at the Slytherin dress-oh my! Now I sound like a hopeless fan girl. You tugged me closer to Vicky and away from Steam. But there is room for both which is the beauty of it all!

And thanks for the compliments!

You looked beautiful all weekend, and the pictures of the gowns I had seen on line of what you wore in the fashion show do not do justice to the gowns in person. They were breathtaking! My mother could not stop talking about your Slytherin gown all day. Thank you for all the panels you were on and for sharing your wonderful talent.
