SteamPunk Fairy Costume

Greetings, Here are some picture of my SteamPunk Fairy Costume.

I created this for an event and also because I haven't yet done a fairy costume for myself. Thus, I decided to combine it with bit of a steampunk flair. So without further ado, here is my costume.

*click on the pictures for a much bigger detailed shot.

 The Costume consists of a fully boned silk corset with detailed SteamPunk style sleeves, a victorian inspired skirt...and last but not least, a pair of metal and organza wings.

 

Here are a few detailed shots of the corset, painting and buttons on the bodice front.

 

The full view of the costume with the wings below.

 

The back of the wings feature a turn key, to create the look of a Victorian toy or perhaps a mechanical fairy created as an experiment.

 

Another view of the wings, I really liked the key in the back. Made it much more fun to wear.

 If you have any questions, comments or would like to have your own SteamPunk Fairy Costume...please contact me for details.  

Thank you for looking!

Your work always inspires me to greater acts of sewing goodness♥

Wow. It looks fantastic. Was the key heavy to wear?

Thank you everyone!

Melissa, actually no the key and wings are not very heavy at all. Probably because of the way they are balanced, I didn't really notice them at all. *until I have to walk in a doorway. ;)

Wow!!! This is beautiful <3
My favorite Halloween costume has been a fiary for years now, and this year I was thinking I would spice it up with some steampunk! Low & Behold, I stumbled upon this! How long would it take to make one and how expensive are we talking?!
