Steampunky goodness or The Outfit

[catherineldf]

So here's an initial couple of photos. They don't do it justice (doubleclick if you're curious about the larger versions) so we'll work on getting better ones but you get the idea. Heather at Scoundrelle's Keep did a bang-up job. I particularly adore the chatelaine that came with the corset so we'll have to see about a better photo for that. There are also cunning little gears on the blouse buttons. Also not terribly visible but key to the ensemble when viewed in person: one necklace ("Salvage and Sensibility" from the incomparable elisem), one pair earrings from Persephone Plus, one Victorian hair fork from rivkasmom, gloves from Dent's in London by way of the V&A gift shop, and these boots in black. The necklace and the earrings came first and were purchased awhile back. Then the boots. Then the rest of the outfit. I like to plan these things out, as you can tell (not to mention budgeting for them). Thank you, temporary corporate overlords.

Killer! Yes, detail shots would be nice. Also profile. For those who won't get to see it for a long, long time.

Thanks! :-D
I'll will speak with SHE who takes pix and see what I can do. We are talking about a trip to Boston next year, BTW, though I doubt that I'd pack this along for nonfannish trips.
