Old time newspaper prints on fabrics and leathers seem to be becoming more popular. Steampunk clothier Clockwork Couture describes their Time Traveler’s Corset, a nice example of the style, as follows: “Headlines from the newspapers chronicling the disappearance of Amelia Earhart, Man’s first walk on the moon, the sinking of the Titanic and more featured on this newsprint fabric corset. It’s as if you had pieced together headlines from each era traveled and put in on a beautiful waist cinching piece of art. Our exclusive design is a Clockwork Original, created by our very own team and available nowhere else. Red dupioni silk trims this corset with brocade trimmed pocket, perfect for a pocketwatch. Authentic Victorian skeleton key is carefully and sturdily placed on the side.”
I don’t care how hot the weather is because I am not going to wear gothic garb in the midday sun and my family has good central air conditioning.
I have been looking for something to wear to play Little Red Riding Hood and the Horny Construction Worker and Heavy Red have been kind enough to create just the thing. The Heavy Red site says: “The limited edition Heavy Red costume Little Dark Red Riding Hood, is so beautiful with its dark elegance. The red and black dress made from weighted matte jersey and rayon hangs beautifully. The black arrow point bodice is adorned with a black bow. The dress is fully lined, has a side zipper, adjustable straps and straps that tie in the back to give you the perfect fit. The dress comes with a matching capelette which is fully lined with black satin. The outfit also includes: -miniature picnic basket. This costume is one you will want to wear over and over, it is truly amazing! Please note: All Halloween Costume Sales are final and only exchangable for size”.
The manufacturers seem to believe it is a Halloween costume, not necessarily intended for other forms of roleplay.
