May I present: my 2020 project in all its glory ❤️
This has been my biggest project to date or at least the most time consuming one.
Being mainly a steampunk, historical accuracy was not my goal, but rather make it historical “agreeable” or historical “adequate” if there’s such a term. My main inspiration were 1880s.

Any suggestions for accessories?

Patterns used:
Hat - Butterick - Making History B6397
Jacket - Burda 7880 (highly modified front part and sleeves)
Underskirt - Truly Victorian TV261 - 1185 Four-Gore Underskirt
Apron and Bustle - Truly Victorian TV365 - 1883 August Overskirt
Corset - @cosplaymccalls Shapeshifter by @anachronisminaction

The corset is just an underbust paired with a bra because I currently don’t have an alternative, but making one is on my list.
The bustle underskirt was bought from a theatre sale but is very similar to Truly Victorian TV108 - Grand Bustle.

Trimmings by @finefrenchlaces who happened to have the perfect shade of greyish blue.
