  Scott M. asked:

  Hey all, I'm looking for a costume similar to picture below. I have the sewing pattern, but I'm just not going to get to it this year. I've trolled all the standard costume online stores (Spirit, Costume Express, Party City) but haven't quite found anything quite right. Any other suggestions for other costume stores? Not looking for theatrical quality , the standard cheap stuff is fine

  Sammi_Batman asked:

  Anyone know where I can find antique Victorian clothes? Or replicas? Corsets, cages, skirts, blouses, etc. etc. I need to look more authentic for steampunk gatherings.

  There are many resources - some basics: https://www.steampunkemporium.com https://www.gentlemansemporium.com Corsets are everywhere - and personally I'd avoid the standard 'steampunk corsets' that are really easy to find right now: http://www.corset-story.com/style/steampunk.html but that may be what you're looking for! (totally fine - I just like to personalize my look a little more.) I really like http://damselcorsets.com/. And then I'd recommend just doing a search on etsy with 'steampunk' as the keyword - it's sort of a good way to start generating ideas and there are some awesome craftspeople there. Good luck!

  Heather M. asked:

  I'm looking to get Charles a top hat - preferably one in the Deadman top hat style, which I think is also known as a Cahill top hat. They look similar anyway. The only problem is that when we search for it, google usually sends us to amazon for the Jaxson deadman top hat. Charles hates how it looks. So is there a certain shop or place that anyone goes to for their top hats? Apparently he doesn't want felt, so I'm not sure where to go for one, since most sites have felt made hats.

  Ashton P. asked:

  So as my first steampunk project I am going to attempt to put together a steampunk "light" outfit for a wedding I'm going to on Halloween. It's no costumes so I have to be "light" but the bride thinks it's a great idea. The colors are red and black and I'm trying not to spend a fortune. Any ideas or tips on where I can get started locally?

  Does anybody know of a good supplier of men's steampunk boots? Knee high is preferable.
