NoFlutter Steampunk Leia

I've decided to do LA Comic Con (formerly Comikaze) this year. I am going to recreate NoFlutter's Steampunk Princess Leia costume. I am so in love with her work.




I'm using Truly Victorian 303 for the skirt, and TV 493 for the blouse. I got Simplicity 2777 for the bloomers. For the corset I'll use one of my existing patterns with a longer point in the front. So far I have made the bloomers and the skirt. The bloomers are longer than I wanted and very loose in the legs, so I am going to sew some elastic into the leg bands to tighten them up and hike them up. The skirt came out pretty close to how I wanted it, although it doesn't have the hip bustles like in the drawing. I'm trying to decide if I want to do another little skirt to go over it or if I'm okay with it the way it is. I might just put some padding under the side drapes to puff it up a bit more, but am leaning towards adding some side poofs.
