It can be made to suit anyone which makes this costume ideal for anybody this year!

A message from Nancy, the creator of the ‘Steampunk’ costume:

This is a DIY Steampunk costume I made for a Steampunk themed party. I loved the way it turned out. I used a multi-purpose silk peasant style blouse paired with a full corset over it. Used a black ruffled skirt to which I added gold trim.

My Mom made a bustle with the same gold trim added. Then I decorated a black top hat with peacock feathers and a bow. Added colored spectacles and Voila! A Steampunk costume.

Loved it and the best part was my Mom and I made it from what we had. It was a great bonding project.
