Denim: not at all the fabric I think of when I think “steampunk”. But that’s what I get for falling into the trap of pigeonholing both a style and a fabric, now isn’t it? It’s amazing what happens when you think outside the box.

   Yeah, that dress looks gorgeous. It is made by Diesel. From their Summer 2006 collection, show finale dress.

   Well, blue jeans were invented in the 1800s, so technically denim is a perfectly steam-able fabric. Gorgeous dress, too!

   yeah, that’s true, it’s easy to forget just how “vintage” denim actually is…. so want that dress, especially as it seems to have a handy bib front over the belly, I could loosen the buttons after too much pudding?

   Denim makes total sense in the context of the Wild West. I suppose it’s a more “americanized” Steampunk.

   Beautiful. And woot for the curveball aspect of using a somewhat unexpected fabric!
