Elegant Punk Rock Wedding

As an historical reenactor and steampunk enthusiast, I use my knowledge of historic garments and research to create whatever I envision. Every item is custom designed and drafted, so anything is possible, from full historic accuracy in any period, to stage or costume quality garments, or entirely new fashions based closely or loosely on historic designs.  Examples of my past work are displayed in this gallery.

This gown was designed for an elegant punk rock wedding.

Linen and Velvet Merry Widow

The Merry Widow corset as it was meant to be, fully boned and functional, but with a modern bra top for a fully modern fashion profile.

This is a merry widow corset I made for myself.  It has a pattern matched linen and velveteen cover, black velveteen gores and cups, a lacing panel, ribbon shoulder straps, and riveted speed-lacing for the front closure.

Brocade and Leather Steam

These corsets are styled after the fashion profiles of the late Victorian and Edwardian. Underbusts come up to right under the bust, or just a bit below. Waist cinchers usually just cover from the bottom of the rib cage to the top of the hips.

This corset is a bespoke custom commissioned underbust, with a pattern-matched brocade cover, leather edging, faux buckle accents, a lacing panel, and a split metal double-busk.

 

This past weekend I was finally able to coordinate time with a friend to take some photos of the grommeted corset.  It is made from two layers of natural colored coutil, with leather edging and a leather “belt”, held in place with brass grommets.  The boning is flossed in place, it is front lacing, and the lacing panel is suspended in the lacing for the back of the corset.  I made this corset for myself without a mock-up.

A commissioned underbust corset detailed exactly like this one is $385, plus shipping.
