Maybe glasses with a magnifying loop to one side...a time piece either around her neck or on her wrist with gear visibly working. A nice long hatpin with something slighly anacronistic on it... <br /><br />And a pirate hat. ;-)Maureenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01517092592545660754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7245338355060736409.post-34059267207479447492011-04-14T18:40:40.496-04:002011-04-14T18:40:40.496-04:00Thanks so much everyone.

Mary's dress is beautiful, but I would put slits in the sides so the wearer has access to the dagger she'll have strapped to her thigh, or raygun or whatever. I picture a more Inspector Gadget type of dress. That would be fun. Where are the pics of your fairy costume?R.A.

I don't really get too much into the anachronistic fashion side of things, but I do enjoy admiring others' creativity. I would love to see you in your costume!!Ella Grayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08852415807766754606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7245338355060736409.post-89676049997165533672011-04-14T13:32:36.391-04:002011-04-14T13:32:36.391-04:00This is very interesting, Stacie!

I would love to go to the workshops and learn more about the genre, but other activities have come up, so I'll miss out. Maybe next year! Thanks again for the delightful insight!<br /><br />~LaniAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7245338355060736409.post-42709394901334198052011-04-14T13:02:52.501-04:002011-04-14T13:02:52.501-04:00Great post, Stacie.

Okay so my quick alterations include a slit for the skirt, maybe up the sides and have her wearing tight pants underneath. A girl needs to keep her modesty! I like the idea of goggles, especially since smoggy London would hae been hard on the eyes when sporting around on a steam powered penny farthing. I'm intrigued with the idea of a cap of some sort with accenting feathers or some type of decoration. <br /><br />Cheers, FeFionanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7245338355060736409.post-49991741657714616072011-04-14T11:55:42.733-04:002011-04-14T11:55:42.733-04:00Thanks for sharing info from the con for that one ...Thanks for sharing info from the con for that one day I write a steampunk novel. Foresee it happening a long time from now. <br /><br />Mary Wine's outfit is beautiful! To answer your question, create a split on each side or one down the middle in the front. Make the top sleeveless with ties and wear long gloves which are tied to the top via the ties. <br /><br />I can go all day...Marilyn Muñizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02580237142729710762noreply@blogger.com
