Steampunk in Action

Gah... love those big skater thighs!

I wore my steampunk outfit and got a lot of compliments on the skirt.  In fact, most people thought that I had bought the skirt asking what store carried the skirt and what an excellent find.  Could it be the dreaded flat fell seams were worth it? 

Interesting that the ultimate compliment is that what you made looks like RTW when the whole point of sewing is to be more creative and have better fitting clothes than RTW.  I find this to be a mental conundrum.


What's up next?  A little dress from the 1940s.
