Brass accessories have been a mainstay for several years now. In fact, some people believe that they define the entire subculture. Purchasing vintage clothing is encouraged to achieve an authentic look. Women’s fashion of the mid-1880s forms a good base for designing a look. Dresses tend to be long and flowing, with regal jacket bodices to accentuate the aesthetic. Garibaldi blouses are a popular alternative choice. Conical shaped skirts are regularly seen worn by attendees of steampunk conventions. Unlike Victorian fashion, steampunk encourages corsets to be worn over the main outfit so that they are conspicuous.
