Steampunk sewing

The festival of knitting is in full swing, but I have a Steampunk party to cobble an outfit together for. It's in a month, and I have the perfect footwear (actually, I have two perfect sets of boots and one ideal set of shoes, I may have a small issue) and a corset and antique watch and chain ... that's it. Four weeks is enough time to pull together a decent outfit, and I have scads of fabric, so I can manage it without spending any extra cash, but I wonder if costuming is enough to give a truly steampunk approach. In short, help!

And the cut is really interesting! Though I probably won't pad out the breast to that extent ...

You can see me with my own cavalry, can't you? I need to teach the Midget Army how to ride!

That's what hobby horses are for.

I agree! Perhaps hobby-horses are in order for the next big battle?
