The Beauty of Steampunk Fashion



H. G. Wells would be proud—steampunk fashion has emerged from relative obscurity.

Steampunk is a loose term used to describe an extraordinary fashion trend. By remixing styles from the Victorian era, classic Goth, gypsy, and industrial fetish, steampunk fashion creates a unique and beautifully disturbing look.

Below are a sampling of dresses and accessories found around the web. Enjoy and please post comments with links to other interesting steampunk fashions.

This are amazing, I've been looking all over for where I can buy clothing like that for me and the missus. So far I've found a nice selection of steampunk clothing at http://www.buysteampunk.com/steampunk_clothing.php and on Etsy but are there any other places I should look?

Amazing...I agree with SusanG maybe not practical, but there must be a way to incorporate this into your current wardrobe. I am going to find a way, I just love this look!

These are beautiful! perhaps not practical but they'd be great for parties & "balls". The age of dressing for dressing's sake has died. Thank you. regards SG

Meep! The bottom pic titled "Steampunk Dress" is from Enigma Fashions and modeled by me. But I love Jaborwalky too so it's all good. Thank you for a great article.

This is great. Why live so pedestrian? I will be buying some of these pieces. Also check out the gypsy junk site.
It feels good to write.
