Frequently Asked Questions
What Are Steampunk Costumes?
Steampunk costumes are inspired by the science fiction subgenre, a movement that started in the ‘80s. It’s a retro futuristic theme that revolves around the use of steam as the ultimate cause of technological advancement. Steampunk clothing involves a mixture of elements from the 1800 Industrial Revolution in Europe and the Victorian literary era.
Steampunk costuming takes inspiration from 19th century explorers, goths, lords, countesses, and burlesque. This could include a leather helmet, brass goggles, and a lab coat for men, as well as corsets, bell skirts, lace, boots, and Lolita fashion for women. Brass is a staple material, as it embodies a mechanical aesthetic.
How to Make an Inexpensive Steampunk Costume?
Getting custom Steampunk clothing doesn’t come cheap, but there are ways to get the most bang for your buck. You can create your own Steampunk clothes with some resourcefulness and creativity. Here are a few tips to try:
- Visit your local thrift stores. You’ll find a ton of treasures to put together the perfect look. When scouring for clothing pieces, steer clear from modern elements such as pleats and denim. You’ll want to look for browns like leather or corduroy, and lace elements that scream Victorian.
- Look for goggles. This item is at the forefront of the steampunk movement. You can find them at Medieval Collectibles. If you’re feeling crafty, find one at a thrift shop and spice it up with brass gears, which you can also snag from our website.
- Accessorize. Steampunk fashion is all about copper, bronze, and brass accessories. You can easily find them at thrift stores, garage sales, or your community thrift market. It doesn’t have to look too industrial, as the aristocrats also wore rings and brooches and sported pocket watches and even wristwatches.
