Steampunk - Dare us

After all these years at the Leipzig Book Fair I guess we really needed one of those infamous escalator pictures

***

This is a Steampunk outfit I've been planning for two years now, when I created a character called The Lady of Time, a girl who sells pocket watches. However, her goods aren't as normal as they look, since every watch points to a different number and once you buy from her, you purchase more than just a ticking little clockwork.

Everything about this cosplay revolves around the image of time. I tried to include as many details as I could and liked. The costume also inlcudes many little presents from my character's best friend, a deep-sea explorer, like the compass or the neclace. Overall many many thoughts and a lot of love went into creating this costume and this character, more than I could possibly utter here. Wearing it almost felt natural.
