That’s why I love Steampunk! I can take everything I love about Victorian dress and aesthetics, and combine them however I like, and take liberties with fabrics, etc.

This is fun! I think you look great, and it’s always nice to make a break from the usual to have a bit of “no-strings-attached” fun.
On another note, I had the fortunate chance to get a very up-close look at Effie’s magenta suit from the reaping scene, as it was on display at the theatre when I went to see the Hunger Games. It was really intresting to look at the techniques they incorporated into the outfit, and it looked surprisingly well-made! It really enforced my desire to do costuming, including some non-historical.

In reply to Caroline. :-) Thanks for the admiration! And I'm sorry to "miss" you. Throughout the night when I'd go to chat with friends I'd stare at them for several seconds until they could recognize me through the wig and makeup. ha! It was so outside my costuming norm that I'm not surprised a few people missed me. Be sure to introduce yourself the next time we are at the same event!

I’m truly dismayed that I spend the entire evening captivated by this outfit without realizing that it was you! (I spent all of CoCo keeping an eye out for the bloggers I follow, like a tourist in NYC hoping to spot Madonna….)
