Included in this post are two of my outfits from baycon 2009, where the theme was Steampunk. In Knitted Items - the explorer costume (The Tally Ho) is the one for which I won the Hall Costume Award for - - - ready? Originality in Knitted Steampunk Accessories. The accessories are the steampunk wristwarmers and the matching knitted straps on my boots.
There is no hand knitting on this outfit - - - yet. The little spats are target - but I will make my own soon enough.
There will be sweater-heel pictures when I find some.
My ideal costume would be Amelia Peabody from the Elizabeth Peters books. Your explorer costume just reminded me.
ReplyDeleteBTW, I knitted spats and didn't end up wearing them but they are definitely doable.
Love your costumes! The blouse on the second costume is gorgeous. Actually everything about that costume is yummy. :-D
