In Time for Valentine's Day: A Wild Rose

The Wild Rose Steampunk Jypsy
Thinking of romance and Valentine's day I've taken this dress from moody purples into rambling wild roses. Gypsies and wild roses seem perfectly suited to each other. I was inspired to add a hat to this option rich ensemble, with an explosion of feathers at the back, and more gypsy coins as decoration. The metal corset that comes included has taken on an almost candy colored look.
The final word for the Wild Rose Steampunk Jypsy is "Edible".

Steampunk Jypsy, Winterfell Rose

Inspired in colors and feeling by the Winterfell sims and Winterfell's emblem, and most importantly, Miss Serra Anansi, I've created a Victorian take on the icon of the independent and free gypsy.


This was a Christmas release and it has absolutely nothing to do with Christmas. But that's just how I roll... 
This sexy, strong & free gypsy outfit is all about metal, lace and ribbons, and it started out as a FREE outfit (Yes! Get a free version at the Winterfell community center) and then I kept embellishing it. A Steampunk Jypsy outfit with about a TRILLION options for how you might wear it. There's more in the box than on the vendor pic as I couldn't cram that many variations and items into one picture. The full version includes a few extra special items plus many more layers of each item for as many looks as possible. OK, yes. It's got ribbons in common with Christmas; lots and lots of ribbons.... 
Maybe I'll make a red version for Valentines?
Suggestions for another color welcome.

Reckless Victorian Ankle Boots

These "Reckless" Victorian ankle boots are designed especially for preventing twisted ankles when adventuring about. Whether in the city, the country or above it all in a hot air balloon, ladies can rest assured they won't be slowing down the action with a broken ankle. Cobbled in sturdy brocade and leather, and featuring lovely embroidered scrollwork, Fashion will also be present for the adventure. Carry on undaunted steampunk Miss!

The Waiscoat of Rassilon

And now for the Waistcoat of Rassilon (said with an echo effect)


These waistcoats are in part based on the Victorian waistcoat Paul McGann wore as the Doctor in the 1996 Doctor Who movie. The fine silk used shows a pattern made up of repetitions of the Seal of Rassilon. The different color themed packs are based on the different Time Lord chapters of the Gallifreyan Time Lords, of which there are six. Some i've broken up into smaller packs of two variations in a box. I recommend mixing these with something from another time period, preferably 21st century: jeans or sneakers, a time vortex manipulator or some such thing, all good complements.


I thoroughly enjoyed making these, I confess. I'm very happy with the shine and luster of the silk I found for this project. ;-)
Currently these Waistcoats can only be found at the Panopticon in New Gallifrey or the Cardiff Millenium Center in Katrina. I'll be putting them up in the To-a-T shop in Caledon Eyre sometime this week, with an official announcement.

-A special thanks to Mr. Numinus Quandry for posing for the vendors.
