What are some good resources for someone interested in Steampunk?

Asked by KatawaGrey (21483points) October 27th, 2010

I am trying to put together a Steampunk ensemble or two but I am at a loss as to where I can find good information on how to put together such an ensemble. I’ve found a few websites that sell Steampunk clothing and give some ideas on how to create a Steampunk look but the prices are usually pretty outrageous and there are few women’s clothes that aren’t at a risk of sounding indelicate completely girly and ridiculous. Honestly, what airship captain would run around in heels and a floor length dress? I also search Etsy for some Steampunk items but not only is the search feature more than a little difficult on Etsy, but the prices there can also be pretty high.

Can the collective help me out?

I you may do a search on this site and there are pics of someones home decorated in the Steampunk style. The article is short, but they sites I’ve listed came from there.
www.dornob.com

What if we made copies of the pictures of the coolest clothes from the website, then go to the local Thrift Stores? Do you think we could find Steampunk objects and clothes? The prices would be alot better. ;}
