Steampunk Costumes
What really is steampunk, anyway? While extremely popular in certain circles, it is true that not a lot of people know about or understand what constitutes the genre. Steampunk is generally a literary genre, though many films, tv shows and artwork also employ its aesthetic. An offshoot of science fiction, it combines vintage 19th century machinery and decor with technology of the future. Not only does it make for some great stories, but it can also inspire awesome costumes.
