All the steampunk/ Victorian stuff floating around is very inspiring. This costume is the lovechild of my obsession with faeries and my love of all things wacky. =)

It's all handmade, and completely out of my normal realm of linen, wool and historical stuff- it is made from bubble organza (which is 100% poly!) Its flirty and fun and I hope someone will enjoy it.

All three pieces, Bustle skirt, Shrug, and hairpiece for $30 plus $7 priority shipping. Sorry, the corset, spankies, boots and girl are not included. It is shown on a size 6 model, but it would fit anywhere from a 2-10 just fine I think.

The shrug creates little faerie wings in the back by tying it a particular way, but can be untied to wear as a scarf or plain shrug.

Well it's cute....but as for the droopy fabric for wings....I don't think that quite works....it looks like someone ripped off the wings......oooh was that me? Heheeeee, I'll never tell.....psychoeyes-vi.gif

Thanks for your comments and I understand what you are saying.

It's just supposed to at least be the illusion of wings. They have the same shape and have some great movement (it looked so cute when she was prancing around the yard, I should have snapped a picture). It's also a plus that they are not the stiff kind that are very difficult to maneuver with at parties (trust me, I've been a faerie more times than I can count and the wings usually end up broken by the end of the night...) It also allows the shrug to become a super ruffly Victorian-esc scarf later on.

Besides, would a faerie really always have her (or his) wings always up and ready for flight? I would think that would get rather tiresome...
