Inspiration for the Seaside Dress

The Seaside dress was inspired by this painting--"The Galley of the HMS Calcutta (Portsmouth)" by James-Jacques Tissot, c. 1887...

Steeltopia Navy Commission

For many weeks I've been working on a commission from SteelCobra Calamari to create the naval uniforms for his steampunk sim Steeltopia. As reference for inspiration, I looked at historic photos and illustrations such as this one from a set about the 1899 US Navy...You can only buy these uniforms at INS headquarters in Steeltopia if you are a member of the Imperial Navy of Steeltopia (INS). All come with a jacket, pants, belt, and sculpted cap and pants cuffs. Each has a different rank and look to the collars and cuffs. This is the Ensign uniform...The Officers uniform...And Emperor SteelCobra himself is modeling the Captain's uniform (although he also has an Admiral's uniform unique to him)...

New Releases: Steelhead Sunrise & Tiny Steampunk Lady

Inspired by the Worth, I made a version that was also inspired by my home in Steelhead. Yes, it is the gradated colors of a Steelhead trout, with the skin pattern on the corset waist. This pretty dress also has a golden-brown lace underskirt and comes with the bodice, skirts, glitch pants, corset waist and bodice and shoulder frills...
And what? Leave the tiny steampunk ladies out of the loop? Here's an outfit to call your own!
