The full effect.

I think I'm the only person in my building who dressed up today-- but that's okay. The costume is awsome, if I do say so myself. :D I think I'll call this Drusilla Farnsworth (my middle name and a family name- it sounds appropriately steampunkish!) Here's the front view:



Most of the outfit was purchased pre-made and altered (changed the bottom of the jacket, dyed the shirt with tea, etc.) but my son the costumer made the skirt for me- it's from an actual Victorian walking skirt pattern.

In unhappy news, there's another fire up in the canyons above Boulder. This is Not Good. I hope the firefighters can get a quick handle on it.
