Theresa LaQuey - Guest Blogger - Steampunk #4 - #1248 - part 1

Dear Blog readers ... welcome to Theresa LaQuey week II!  This latest Steampunk design will take the whole week. Enjoy!

And now we fast forward yet another year to 2014, the next in this series is requested so I hit the costume books, a museum or two this time and get creative again.  Steampunk #4, know around my house as "It came from Outer Steampunk" is another attempt at another silhouette.  In my mind I start listing different aspects for inspiration.  Early 1880s, Victorian bodices that attach to a stomacher or have the look of having a stomacher, Viennese drapery, Schiaparelli from the 1930's, (an easy one for me) and chains from the hardware store.  The idea of using Venetian lace appliques came like a lighting bolt.  I have done so much work with lace with my custom wedding gowns that I knew that was going to work. And View B was a no brainer as just using the corset and overskirt from View A with a couple of changes would work with our goal to use the same pieces from either View.

Here is my preliminary thought sketch, working things out.
