Steampunk Fashion - Going through the list of topics which I didn't have the opportunity to  address earlier, I came across an IO9 article about RL Steampunk Fashion  tips (aka, Steampunk Fashion on a Budget).  It provides a list of  useful suggestion, though some seem a bit academic (e.g. "Be Creative" -  I would assume that would be a key element of anyone desiring to build  their own ensemble, vice purchasing one outright).  However, it does  highlight other good tips, including advice on design (including a link  to the Steampunk Fashion LJ community, moderated by the lovely Miss  Evelyn Kriete, a frequent contributor to the Steampunk Tribune).
