ADD GEARS TO EVERYTHING, YOUR HAT, YOUR VEST. YOUR UNDERWEAR... EVERYTHING

Seems legit

A very accessible and uplifting video! Well done!

This is really helpful and encouraging, thank you! Another easy way to accessorize is adding a leather-look belt or two. You can hang pouches or straps for other accessory pieces off it, or just add some shiny extra buckles or rings to it for flair. And if you want to be a bit more historical with your necktie, you can try a gauzy scarf or neckerchief.

As of right now I’m making a 6 barrel revolver using copper, steel, wood, deer antler, and leather. My jeans have a tan cloth on the side. I’m going to make gators out of leather. Plague doctor mask will help as well.

I'm going for "Evie" the librarian from "The Mummy" I've got the Edwardian era clothing, (from thrift stores) down. To make it more steampunk, I add accessories like a belt buckle with an octopus, some vintage looking "adventure" gear, (like a fake antique pocketwatch, a compass, etc)

Steampunk is the Victorian era.

[@Bluebelle51]

@@annwilliams6575 only one year separates "Victorian" from "Edwardian" so it's ok

I am a new person interested in steampunk idea costumes here should I have So far What do y’all think? Forgot can’t put pictures on here but what do you think of double goggles?

[@evahamrick3282]

For goggles - how about swim goggles fancied up.

[@LandshipScorpios]

Absolutely. Especially if your costume utilizes a lot of color. Just keep in mind that swim goggles are shaped very differently and will look different. However, there isn't really a bad reason to use them.

[@jordankibbe]

What about mens shoes

[@Rainbow_Rockstar]

i just bought my steampunk costume and it wasnt cheap i spent around $350

[@LandshipScorpios]

Awesome, yeah that isn't a number to scoff at. But I bet it will look amazing at a con, meetup, or just for a Halloween event!
