She's made from pelmet vilene.; some I had used to mop up dyes etc. I cut a corset for her from the same piece and added laces, metal belt and lace edging. I painted, sewed and embossed the bottom half to give it a more metallic look. I admit I am not into steam punk, which I take to be an engineering version of punk/goth.
I am sadly lacking in cog wheels or anything else mechanical to adorn her but I found an old watch and took it to pieces in the hope I would find some cogs. I was sadly disappointed; it was a battery operated watch and just didn't have any cogs. It should have been obvious to me that it went on electric pulse rather than mechanics duhhhh. But I did find a die cut with cogs on in our local garden centre and now she has a cogwheel hair cut. I'm afraid that's my only steam punk bit, just hope my partner isn't too disappointed with her.
