I love the colours of this, it has a great Victorian feel to it. I also really like the umbrella, did you dye it yourself?
My brother has been begging me to make him a steampunk outfit for ages, so I really should get around to that soon. They look like a lot of fun to make and wear!

The umbrella is not dyed by me, it is Vintage. I use it as a sun parasol because it's too good to keep locked up in the house, even though it is somewhat delicate.
I agree with your brother, you should make a Steampunk outfit. It's more fun being Victorian when there is an anachronistic twist!

Oh, awesome! Yes, I really like the old saying that it's better to wear out than rust out.
Right now all of my friends have me sewing madly for all of their Renaissance faire costumes, most of whom go as some form of elf or fey. So I was playing around with the idea of doing an elven steampunk costume one of these days...
Lots of sewing to do before Dragon*Con ^_^;

Ah, yes. I'm getting a group together for ren faire/ dragon*con to be the Unseelie Court. I'm currently working on some wings (currently currently, as in right now) and was considering going sort of steampunk/gentry with it. At least for d*Con. So do it! If enough people get the same idea, we can have some sort of breakthrough fad at D*Con!

Ooh, sounds awesome! My boyfriend and I are going as an elven prince/princess, so maybe we'll have time to make a some steampunk style elven gear for DragonCon too! He's been going for many years and doing the parade etc., but this'll be my first year. Really excited about it!
Which ren faire do you guys frequent? Most of my group stay around CRF (Carolina Ren Fest.) and GARF.

GARF, but I was thinking of taking a trip to CRF this year. GARF had major cutbacks on budget and about half the cast left, so I imagine this year is going to be a little dull. They didn't hire me, but now I'm kind of glad about that.
How is CRF?

CRF is awesome. I know about half the cast, and they're really great people. If your group is able to make it up to CRF this fall and would like, it'd be fun to all meet up for a bit. It's really great because CRF usually isn't nearly as hot as GARF.

I'd imagine few are as hot as GARF. A lot of the GARF cast goes over to CRF, so I'll sneak into the car and stow away.

I hear that Minnesota Faire is pretty hot, despite being in the fall. Just a rumor though... And GA is hot enough in the fall, let alone the late spring/early summer XP

I've heard that Scarborough Faire in TX is in the summer and is pretty hot.

Ooh, sounds like it. Personally, I'm not a fan of the hot weather. So, why I'm still living in the south is a mystery to me.
