Yes, It's actually a bandanna I modified for the night, it's amazing how much fabric is actually in those.

Slight element of "topic drift" but would you're tag/signature line refer to a certain series of books by Iain M. Banks perchance?

so...thought i might post an image of me that isnt tiny so folks can remember me.... from BG.... or what not.... im into elipses tonight can ya tell?....

cheers!

[B. R. Wilson]

My first picture post in the steam punk world, be it SG or BG. This is essentially the base of my costume. I plan on eventually making this for the captain aspect of myself, and a bustled dress with cutaway front (revealing an underdress) that I cannot remember the name of right now. The coat I'm wearing in the first picture was made to go with the captain's outfit. Also, apologies for the size of the pictures. My photo editing program is having fits at the moment.


Made of upholstery fabric, if you can believe it, yet very comfortable. Haven't yet finished the buttons, as you can tell. They're the type I can't sew on using my machine, so it's very slow going, especially with 14 more to go.


Corset, vest, skirt, butterfly collar shirt, and boots. It wants a tie, I believe, but I was unable to find one quickly.


In color!


Since closeups seem to be such the rage...


And another. I took this photo upside down. I'm not sure if the dizziness was worth the result.

Ms Wilson! You have the sort of face that makes me swoon a little, so if this post is less eloquent than it might be (or overly so, by way of an automatic attempt to compensate) I do appologize in advance.

I've absolutely got to commend your taste in clothing (and ability! A trenchie from scratch? Very swish). That Basque is going to go over rather strikingly, I fancy.

I adore how corsets look when paired with waistcoats*, and I declare that the close in photographs particularly are risks to the viewers' grinning muscles.

Hi! I'm Georgie, by the way. I don't believe we've met before.

*If anybody is combining the two I would be everso pleased to be told about it.

[B. R. Wilson]

Cheers, Professor, I'm flattered. And, how do you do? I concur that we've never encountered each other on these forums formally, though I have seen you around quite a bit. As to combining waist coats with corsets, are you familiar with the bodices of the Renaissance?

Ms Honeythorn, all I can say is Wow! There is just something about your eyes in that picture......almost feline in appearance. Very nice.
would the steampunk version of "flicks my switch" be something like "superheats my boiler"? ("opens my steam valve" just sounds wrong... in so many ways!)




Ms Wilson, you are quite the looker too, if you don't mind me saying. I love your outfit, the corset works wonderfully with your figure.

I have new boots!
But I also have nice legs lol

[Abraxas]

damnit, you just had to do that, didn't you? I suppose it's all right, since you've been a few weeks without satorial compliments paid, but don't go scaring the other lasses off, y'hear?

*especially not with all that leg, mixed with all that boot...*

[Prof. George of Chaos]

Bodices, you say? I'm afraid I'm not, though I know just where I can get an education.
Really what I'm thinking about is more like if the set you're wearing was one garment, and done up in midnight blue velvet, but bodice-research can't be a bad starting point. Thank you.

Since this is a thread on outfits and therefore loosely related, what do you think of the idea that much of daily life is on some level play-acting, and that it's possible to be very consious about what we are performing and so turn our very social existence into a form of art?*

Nice boots, Katarina, hoorah for extraneous hardware!

*Um. If your interests even lie in that direction, that is. I think it's fairly obvious by this point that I'm mostly seeking a mutual point of fascination.

Those are incredibly nice/sexy legs and that's coming from a discerning gentleman with lustful tastes for legs!

Oh, and Ms. Wilson, love the outfit! Looks absolutely fantastic on you!

[JingleJoe]

I agree with all the nice things people have said about our beautiful steam-women

[Siliconous Skumins]

I have new boots!

Indeed you do!


There are just so many beautiful ladies in this topic, I'm starting to find it difficult to complement each new post, without sounding like some kind of creep! Oh the risks a gentleman must take.....

[Prof. George of Chaos]

Tch, Siliconous, we're a small community yet. So long as nobody is made uncomfortable* and one is able to make a reply to everyone who posts I don't much imagine doing so should be any cause of bother.

*And I do hope we are an open enough community to allow for people to say, if ever they are made uncomfortable.
