Steampunk Golden Bodice+Bustle

Description

So I decided to save you the hassle of uploading each of these separately, so they're together, on the dressform ;P But, you are going to get like 5 of these in the next hour or so, since I can *finally* upload these things with a non-dead laptop!

I finally found a use for bits of brocade I have floating around! They make fantastic bodices ;P This one is out of a golden brocade that is just too pretty not to do something elaborate with.

This bodice is done from the same pattern as the tailed bodices and whatnot, except that it doesn't have the tails! This is an option for people who either want to wear a bustle with it, or have other outfit pieces that make the tails impractical.

It is made like the bodices, too - fully lined, boned in the front to support the grommets, and this one has boning along the bust lines for a bit more support.

The bustle is made from some beautiful taffeta-esque fabric with embroidered vines and flowers on it. It's really rather stunning - I wasn't sure what to do with it at first, but I really love how it turned out, and hope to get a hold of more of the fabric in the near future.

There is a built in bustle pad to give it the added foof, but otherwise, there is no maintenance with this - you quite literally just tie it on, tuck in the tie ends, and away you go!

The bustle itself is adjustable with ties on the inside, so it can be raised or lowered and it will give a different look each way, which is pretty darn cool if you ask me!

:pointr: If you're interested, both the bodice and the bustle are currently for sale in my Etsy store.

This is RIDICULOUSLY GORGEOUS. And no, there is no way to explain how gorgeous without resorting to all caps. Anyway, I've been binging on steampunk costume virtual window shopping for a while now, and this just about put me over the edge. I actually had breathing problems for a second. I think I need to slow down.
