  Felicity W. asked:

  Anyone on here know of a good place for hiring 1890's ladies wear at very cost effective prices (it's for am-dram and our ENTIRE budget, not just costume is £300). So looking at no more than £15-£20 per costume for three week hire. (I know, a tall order!). I'm based in Redhill, Surrey, so need places no more than 40-60mins drive, but somewhere with a good stock might be worth a whole morning's outing. I know of am-dram's locally with hire costume dept's but all their victorian stuff looks like Panto and I really want to do better!

  Sharon R. asked:

  I am trying to develop an equestrian Steampunk look - any recommendations on best places to find a Victorian riding hat, and riding habit or jacket? And also do you have any suggestions for interesting accessories that fit in with my character's story. My backstory is this: I am Madame Minx, Mistress of Mechanical 'mares. I've have been providing equestrian automata to the aristocracy since the 18th century. So I am perhaps an immortal or some sort of time-traveller. Now in the Victorian age, I have recently unveiled my Steampowered Carousel and am touring the country with a sideshow to much acclaim. People are flocking to see this wonder and paying great amounts to ride the Carousel - those who ride it are plummeted into another world either to fulfil their deepest and darkest dreams and desires or to face their greatest nightmare - there are no guarantees on which you will get. Is this world they travel to simply their subconscience or are they being propelled through the fourth dimension to parallel universes? Some say the Carousel is a worm-hole time machine whereas others accuse me of being a charlatan who secretly laces customers' tea with that rare substance - Taduki, stolen from Lady Ragnell before she perished when her estate was mysteriously burnt to the ground.

  David S. asked:

  Is there a decent steampunk resource list of shops and outlets in the UK specialising in Victorian/steampunk clothing? I've tried to resource a few things from Etsy but usually end up being disappointed. If there isn't one maybe I could start one if people could contribute their knowledge and experience of getting their outfits sorted in the UK.

  Looking for a high-end steampunk tailor! My fiancee and I are having a steampunk wedding in mid May. Due to illness, we were delayed in seeking a high quality tailor for our wedding outfits. Now I'm eager to find a quality tailor who can cut suits similar to the pictures I'm attaching with some adjustments and simpler detailing. https://www.facebook.com/canuck.kewpie/albums/10153032763017269/?_rdr If you are such a tailor, or know of someone who is, we'd like to hear from you. We are willing to pay for clean, quality work. We're located in Lincolnshire, but are willing to travel to the right person. Send me a message, show me samples of your work, and we'll go from there!
