The Chemismonger's Shop
I don't intend to talk about this very often, because this is my journal and not a sales floor, but I am proud to introduce The Chemismonger's Shop, a store I have opened on Etsy. I mean to update it regularly with men's and women's one-of-a-kind steampunk clothing - and despite the name "steampunk," I am careful to create versatile/sturdy pieces that can be worn as quirky regular outerwear, and not just for cons and Halloween parties. I also try to flatter the body, and not just get mired in high concept.

Basically, it's the kind of stuff a geek like me was annoyed not to be able to find. Since both my mom and my grandmother were costumers, I started altering. Given that a lot of you are design freak science fiction geeks like me, I think a lot of you may have been looking for the same thing. Possibly it is out of your price range, or not in your size, but you might have fun looking at it. The story-heavy item descriptions are probably worth the price of entry (particularly given that you can enter for free).

In any case, I'd be pleased if you'd take a look around, and pass the info on to anyone you know who would look perfect in one of these pieces. And if you don't like any of my stuff as much as you like the idea of it, I suggest you look at my favorites - the things I've tagged that other people have made. I don't get a kickback on any of them - I just think they're cool. Wrist-cuff watches with art nouveau wings, feathered headpieces, Rocketeer-style case mods, and so forth.
