Oh, cooooool frigging FLicker feature. Anyway, you can go to the link I posted previously for more from the fashion show of everyone involved, but I'm quite fond of this pic.
It should be noted that I play at steampunk a little. And I specifically do not wear a corset. I found out as a teen that girdles gave me IBS. I would cramp and it was ugly. The best thing that ever happened to me was pantyhose without the tummy control! :) Yes, even tummy control was enough to start the cramps. So I haven't compressed my stomach since. And it has thanked me for it. IBS still happens, but not everyday. Learning a Major Trigger was highly useful. So My Costume is a Fun Socks (usually stripped), a slim skirt, a silk blouse, a nice jacket, and The Hat and Goggles. I have some fun jewelry, a locket with an old door key, a Rassilon Pendent, and a Harry Potter Time Turner. The neat thing is, except for The H&G and the locket, it is all out of the closet, and NO CORSET. So yes, there are those of us who deal without the corset and still have fun. And we are even dressed as girls. I do like the bloomer idea. If I ever decide to actually make something for the costume, it would be bloomers.
