Description 'Let me guide you through my mind..'

Woot, first pictures of my Steam dress Alice from Alice: Madness Returns that I wore at Connichi 2013. The Steamdress was really a challenge for me because I wanted to shake awake my sewing skills, and see if they still existed, hahah xD It was really nice to do some more sewing and less crafting for a change.

I thought it’d be fun to do a costume breakdown (copypasted from my post on tumblr xD), so here goes: The grey stripes were all sewn on individually (so much woooork aarghh) because I felt like in the game, it really looked as if the grey stripes were on top of the dress, with a shade inbetween them. So first I made the dress out of black linen and then added all the grey.

The corset is lined with linen and has steel boning for the shape. I destroyed a store bought clock to make the ‘wings’ on my back, but in the end the clock still worked (haha it really freaked people out xD) The wings and the Omega-dangle were made out of Worbla.

My dear Liza made the Vorpal Blade for me as a present, isn’t that sweet <3
Pictures by the amazing Octowana Thank you very much!<33

I was wondering.... Is your dress two pieces? Like a top bodice piece with a separate skirt sewn on?  I'm doing this dress with the same technique with the stripes and I've been frustrated with it.

You look wonderful by the way!

Thank you! Yes i kept the skirt and top separated because where they meet, it was covered by the corset anyway. The skirt closes with a zipper under the apron, the top has a zipper in the side (under the corset) so you can't see any of the closures haha

Ho ho! Sneaky! I like that it's all hidden!

I originally started with a one piece dress, but had to cut off the bottom because it was more like a circle rather than a rectangle. My grey lines didn't work so I made a gathered skirt and sewed it to the top with the zipper in the back.
