    Totally Creative NY Custom Steampunk Costume NOW REDUCED TO $200! Now Inluces Mermaid Skirt! Accepting offer or trades.

    This was custom designed for me by Elsa Leandros for the Abney Park concert in Spokane, WA. I love this costume dearly-but the top has never fit me in a way I feel totally comfortable with-and I've had some great times with it!
    It is brown faux leather pieced together from vintage belts, and gorgeous cintage copper buttons-black cotton, and gold lacing.
    The top was supposed to be built for me-an A cup-but I'm a very small A and had to pad it VERY heavily. I think for a slightly bigger A-to B cup it would be positively ideal. It has an unusual cross chest strap-I added one extra side strap for support. It is the most secure top I've ever had-with double hooks in the back-PLUS it has a belt cinch down over those! : ) Under each arm there are corset inspired embellishments. there is the vaguest under arm stains-but you can't see these even from a few inches away. I also added some ruffled black lace to the top of the cups for modesty.



    The belt is made for 33 inch hips-but it is slightly adjustable due to corset siding. I added a waist strap that does diagonal across the left hip. But it is easily removable.

    Here are some links to some body pictures.....

    Aw-thank you. Well, kitty girl gets her stitches out tomorrow-she's still not feeling great-but she is healing. But...we kind of spent a good portion of the rent money to pay for her surgery...soo......yeah....a little conflict in the future there... Thank you for the concern. : )

    LOL!!! That's exactly what I think when I see your things posted: love 'em but they'll never fit me. They look fabulous on you though, you petite thing!
