The da Vinci Aviator Clockpunk. This was my first original design. The main dress was made with a continuous piece of 60 "wide machine.
Looks like most of my friends decided to wear steampunk do rebirth of this year. our challenge is to create a steampunk. High Tea renaissance outfit will be welcomed by our own Mayfaire Moon Corsets at the Pennsylvania Renaissance Faire
I consider steampunk an existing fantasy science fiction style at a time when the power of steam was mainly used - thus set in Victorian or Edwardian There can be two views. the revival of punk (??? relabeled as DaVincipunk Astropunk Alchemypunk ...) should follow the same lines or. is simply a replacement of the Victorian era with the Renaissance. the science fiction element allows for the existence of modern technology adapted to the times in both cases.
if existed DaVinci's inventions and actually worked in the revival? There would be a need for the industry. Parachutes, machine guns, planes - many inventions for military purposes. The first use of an aircraft for active military combat was by the Italians. Below the drawing of da Vinci's sketch of the design of the aircraft and the aircraft Rumpler Taube real flight.
On a lighter note, one of his inventions was a machine to make flakes. "Sequins got their name from the Arabic Sikka, meaning a coin or die. In the 13th century, local public currency of the Republic of Venice was called Zecca and coins 3.5 grams of gold it produced were known as sequins or sequin. the French changed the Venetian word sequin and entered English in that form. "
It's times like these I love being short. I could drape the dress of a piece of 60 "wide linen fabric. The fabric was pleated knife with 1.5" wide folds. Wired black trim was stitched down each pleat for "aviator" look. The fabric was folded in four and armhole cut from the folded corner. The bodice was boned with grosgrain channels and cable ties. The straps are also knife pleated, trimmed and sewn to the dress. The upper edge and the base was finished with 2 broadband "black bias.
