gin bustle inspiration

so, I'm going to do this frock properly and start with some inspiring pictures, instead of just pitching in like I did with the absinthe fairy. Ok I don't believe a word of that either, but here are some lovely pics of the era I'm aiming for anyway...

The gin bustle gown designed...


So, yes it's that time of year once more when I start to consider my wardrobe for Britains biggest steampunk convivial in Lincoln "The Asylum".

After the excitement of the Absinthe fairy gown, I was wondering where to continue my over the top frock adventures... So I present my initial doodle of the clockwork ladies gin dispensing bustle. Yes, I may have been on the "Hendricks" when this one was thought up....

So if you enjoyed watching the fairy gown taking shape, I hope you will follow along on this project too!
