Practical Steampunk Fashion You Can Wear Everyday

May 29, 2017 by Tahlia Newland

You might think that Steampunk fashion is uncomfortable and not practical, but I don't. It's only the corset look that is. Get rid of the corsets in favour of elasticated belts and you can wear the style comfortably. You may not be in a work environment where you have total freedom to wear what you like, but I do because I work at home. There's nothing to stop you going all out and being creative with your clothing when you're not at work though. I find myself having some lovely conversations with people in the supermarket who enjoy my choice of clothing. Here's me in one of my favourite outfits. The skirt has an elastic waist and the top is stretch fabric, so it's very comfortable. The hat and bag are my own creations. See all the hats I have available at the moment in my Etsy Shop. I bought the clothes at my favourite online shop Fantasmagoria in Lithuania. They have good prices, good service and you can pay by Paypal; what more do you want from an online … [Read more...]

Creative Living: What do you Wear to Work?

I'm an incurable creative; I've even called my You Tube Channel that. Being creative is a constant in my life, not just in terms of my work, though I've been a performance artist, and are still a mask maker and an author, but also in my personal life. I love using photoshop to make book posters for social media and design book covers, and I make videos as well. I also like to be creative in my cooking, throwing different things together to get interesting flavours, but  most of all, I love being creative with my clothing - much to the amusement of the people in my local village some times! When you work from home, you can wear what you want, so I do. Why not wear beautiful clothes? Besides, if I'm writing steampunk (and I am), I might as well wear it! The vest is a vintage men's vest rescued from the costume trunk. The black skirt is vintage one of mine from the 80s with a belt that came with a different skirt from Fantasmagoria in Lithuania, and the blue dress … [Read more...]
