Getting dressed in Casual Steampunk Lolita
(A project for Visual Anthropology)
On Monday I decided I had to go to the London MCM Expo | London Comic Con. I pulled out my sewing machine and went to work.
I present: Pride and Prejudice and Zombies
I came, I saw, and zombies were slain. Give me a few hours to wipe the brains off my katana and I will post a making guide on The Mended Soul.
This is free for Kindle today (and you can always just read kindle books in the browser app if you don’t have an actual Kindle): http://www.amazon.com/SteamDrunks-Steampunk-Cocktails-Drinks-ebook/dp/B006ZT0EZQ/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1345428477&sr=8-1&keywords=steamdrunk
I haven’t read the whole thing, but so far there are some real winners. A must read for all old-school cocktail enthusiasts!
Multiculturalism for Steampunk is starting up a weekly art challenge, and it looks promising. SO EXCITED. I’ve had a bunch of ideas for non-Western steampunk outfits floating around in my head, and it’s nice actually having a weekly deadline to motivate me to finish some of them.
This is pretty subtle in its steampunkery (read: no extranneous metal bits), but I was just trying to bring in a few western/Victorian elements to traditional Indian clothing- legomuttoned sleeves, the double breasted, collared choli, and adapting the churidar into buttoned spats.
…Also a sweet hat.
-CDid I mention I love this artist?
