"Often vhen I am hunting pirates unt ze scum of the skies I hear 'you can't take the skies from me'. *cocks pistol* Vell I assure you that I can..."

The photo's tinted, so you can't see how strong the reds and the golds play off of the black, but it's a damned fine picture. I won best steampunk costume in my class at ConFusion 2009 this weekend along with the other crew members of the S.M.S. Zepherus.

I'd write a credits list for this costume, but it's lengthy- so for those of you who spurred me on or loaned me patterns or advice through this batshit project, thanks!

Feel free to ask any questions on particulars!

So I'm living in La-La Land, but at least I'm not living at home.

LOVE the Firefly reference!!! I followed you here from LJ btw. Great with all the details; they really add to the believability. For me that's what makes or breaks any ensemble.

This is breathtaking! Absolutely wonderful work!

Fantastic costume! <333

Rest assured... if you just take a look at our official papers here, you'll see that we are indeed registered privateers of the British Air Navy... not pirates. Nope, no pirates here! Pleased to meet you, madam! ;)

Much love,

Hey, thanks for the patterns! I ended up using the half-bustle and the french bodice patterns on this puppy- so really it wouldn't be looking this good without you.

A penny for your thoughts and giving your two cents in.... the proverbial rip-off.

Good that they were put to use. :#1:

O, yeah, I was supposed to ask you - and I don't know if you would have time or not or be interested - but my mom was wondering about hiring you to make a pirate ice-skating costume for her (I showed her this :B ). It would have to be all stretchy material (stretch velvet most likely), so I don't know if you do that, since stretchy stuff is Speshel and the opposite of the usual period fabrics (unless the period was 1980 or something).
