Steampunk and its growing following

All I know is to just scroll through the different stamps until he finds something he thinks will work.  I don't do that kind of tooling, though, so I can only suggest Tandy or eBay...  You might ask Grov directly, since I haven't seen him post here in a few months.  He might have some ideas.

Steampunk bloomers?

So I recently bought this skirt: http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=Shop&op=listing&product_id=2712745

And despite appearances, the length in front is a bit shorter than I feel comfortable with, especially if I should care to sit down while wearing it!

I would love to find some neat, pretty bloomers to go under it but so far I'm finding stuff I'm not interested in, or the pretty ones don't go up to my size (I'm a 14/16). The person who made the skirt is working on plus size bloomers, but does not as of yet offer them. That, and I think I'd like something in a shiny coppery brown to go with the pattern on the skirt (as my bodice is in that blue color).

Any thoughts? Suggestions? My other idea is just to layer another, slightly longer, skirt underneath.

Bloomers would be way cute. Have you looked on Etsey? There are half a dozen pages of bloomers. Some custom made and not too expensive. I'd think twice about satin and maybe get something cooler and more breathable. Black could work with some black lace and ribbons and black stockings.

Vah vah boom!

Note if you search in Etsey be specific as to "steampunk bloomers" or "renaissance bloomers" or you'll get pages of stuff you don't t want.

I did look on Etsy and did find a couple of things. But so many are in black or white! Bleh. (damsel is coming out with black pinstripe ones that I'm in love with but again...she doesn't have them in my size yet!)

I actually just finished a marathon chat with him on YIM... around 6 hours, I think!  LOL  He's interesting, and fun to talk to, and I'm pretty sure we're going to become friends!

Oh, and I wouldn't make it 3 steps in any of those shoes... not without breaking a bone somewhere, anyway!  Fun to look at, but not for ME to wear!!!
