That vest is absolutely brilliant! I love the buttons off center like that.
Unf. Look at those colors. Somehow, I like the guy’s better, though. More thought seems put into it.
The victorian capulet will look great with a leather black corset, overbust of course, some low heal punk boots, oh and rose designed black lacy tythes, and definitely a parasol. the makeup will definitely be ok and i waould definitely wear that
Also that vest definitely to die for. and the blue is very complementary.
reeeeeaaalllly do want !

omfg! I would die! So such gorgeous clothes! :D
diggin’ the bandolier vest. :D
Victorian themes, Steampunk… no other fashions are as lovely!
I’ll be honest; these items are not something I could afford under normal circumstances.
It seems unlikely that Retroscope would ship to my country; yet I must, at least, express my intense admiration for their items.
This Gift Certificate would be a marvellous kick-start to my Steampunk aspirations. Dreaming and hoping… it’s an instinctive response at this point.
Best of Luck to all!
my goodness, i see theres love for this site, i stumbled upon it a few months back. ive lost a undred pounds, just need to tone a shape for such fine clothes~
I really Like the Girls outfit, My girlfriend would love it. I wouldnt look half bad in the vest either.
