Top Five Steampunk Costumes for Women

Forum Steampunk Vickie Complete Costume, Brown

Getting ready to hop on the steam train and go on some Steampunk themed costume adventures? Whether it's your birthday or you are looking for the perfect Halloween costume, this makes a unique, original and creative choice of costume. There are many to choose from, so I though I would share by top five personal favorites with you all. Let's get started! If you are shopping from the UK or EU, go here for Steampunk costumes.

California Costumes
Steampunk Girl

To start us off, at the top of this post is the Steampunk Vickie costume by Forum, a beautiful ensemble of tiered skirt, interesting hooped under-skirt, ruffled collar and eye-catching sleeves. This is a great place to start if you are new to steampunk and want something imaginative but low-maintenance and instantly recognizable as Steampunk style. Each set of this costume includes the ruffled top, the brown jacket, the black corset belt and the tiered and exposed hoop skirt. Why not finish off the look with some Aviator Goggles like these?

Mystery House Steampunk Lady

Next up on the list, we have the sexy deep red-brown steampunk dress costume featured on the right. It comes with beautiful gear decorated dress, the cute hat and a pair of matching aviator machinist goggles. To give the skirt a bit of lift, you can find the petticoat the model uses here, and some absolutely perfect steampunk knee high boots can be found here.

Want something a little less elaborate, more demure, but still recognizable as a wonderful steampunk ensemble? Take a look at the very pretty Mystery House Steampunk Lady costume on the left. The jacket has removable ruffles, so you can personalize it how you like, and the skirt is just lovely. Sadly this costume doesn't come with the little feathered hat you see in the picture, but you can buy that separately here.

Steampunk Victorian Moire 2-pc Ensemble

Here's another of my recommendations for those of you out there who want to keep their steampunk costume simple or are looking for a good base to work on: the Steampunk Victorian Moire costume featured above. I love the design of the shirt - it's a very original and unique look. Each set of this costume comes with the blouse and the matching skirt.

The Original Cult Inc
Steampunk Sweetie Costume

Want to jazz things up a bit and go for colors that break the mold and stand out? Moving away from the traditional browns and black doesn't break the theme, but it will make you the most eye-catching person in the crowd! That's why I'm recommending The Original Cult's Steampunk Sweetie costume, which featured a beautiful green dress with intricate cog patterns decorating it, gorgeous lace adornment and a cute matching collar.

So there you have it, my top five favorite Steampunk costumes for women. I hope you found a costume that is perfect for your party or event, and have a lot of fun dressing up.

Top Ten Roaring 20's Flapper Girl Costumes

Forum Novelties Women's Flapper Costume Dress, Black

Looking for some cute costumes to help you act out the crazy decadence of the 1920's flapper scene? Whether you are getting ready for a Chicago themed birthday bash or setting up to replicate one of the lavish parties from the Great Gatsby, these roaring twenties costumes are sure to steer you right. Let's have a look at some of my personal favorites! If you are shopping from the UK or EU, you can find lots of flapper girl costumes here.

Forum Roaring 20S Penny
Flapper Costume, Pink

California Costumes
Putting On The Ritz

Gatsby Girl Yellow Flapper Costume

Asymmetrical skirts were a big part of 1920's flapper fashion, especially skirts that were longer at the back and shorter at the front. The three costumes above capture the look perfectly in three different styles - the one in the middle is my personal favorite! Each of these costumes comes with at least the dress and the matching cloche headpiece, so they are pretty good value.

Forum Novelties Roaring 20's Swingin' In Sequins Flapper Costume

If you are dressing up as Velma Kelly or Roxie Hart for a Chicago musical themed party, I recommend you check out the swinging black sequin flapper girl costume I've featured above - it's pretty close to the one that Velma Kelly wears in her musical numbers! You can get loads of matching accessories for this costume, such as cigarette holders, garters, and much, much more.

Adult Dazzling Flapper Costume

Here's another thing that saw a lot of light in the 1920's - tassels, tassels and even more tassels! Costumes like the one above were very common, and this is a really good replica of the style. This costume comes with the sexy dress, the choker, and of course the matching headpiece. Why not pair it with a cute white feather boa and a silver cigarette holder?

Dazzling Gold Flapper Costume

If you want something a little bit bolder, or if you are heading to the party with a friend and you both want to have matching yet contrasting costumes (it's a cool look!) then check out the costume on the right, a similar costume but with a beautiful gold color base instead of silver.

Red Flapper Costume

Each set of this costume comes with the amazing dress, the choker and the matching gold cloche headband. You are sure to be raking in the chips!

On the left is a slightly altered style of tassel adorned flapper girl costume, with a more pronounced tassel skirt and a beautiful sequinned upper dress. The bold red color is also a nice touch, and is sure to make anyone wearing this piece stand out the most at any roaring 20's themed party.

Each set of this costume comes with the incredibly gorgeous red dress as well as the cute matching feather headpiece.

Snazzy Purple Flapper Adult Costume

Last but not least, if you are a girly girl who can't get enough of feminine colors in her Halloween costume, then you are in luck, since there are elegant girly colored versions of most of the costumes on this page! If you are a big fan of the tassels, for example, check out the lilac flapper dress I've picked out above. It's really quite beautiful, so I had to include it on this list.

Jazzy Flapper Costume

Last, but definitely not least, if you want a super girly, super bold and spectacular 1920's flapper girl costume, then check out the bold hot pink dress costume on the right.

This dress definitely wouldn't look out of place in the crazy scenes of The Great Gatsby, and I especially love the big pink and black feathered headpiece you get with the dress. It is really eye-catching.

So there you have it! Those were my top ten favorite 1920's Flapper costumes for roaring 20s themed parties. I hope you found one that is perfect for you and have a whale of a time. Make sure your party is large - it's much more intimate!
