Oh, steampunk...
Some days I'm not sure which is worse - the Etsy infused, "Hi, I'm new! Tell me how to make/buy the right clothes!", throw-some-goggles-on-your-head-and-call-it-done atmosphere of ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
steamfashion or the holier than thou, "You don't know the history of Victorian clothing like I do", "I only wear aristocratic clothes, not like all you poor plebes" snobbery to which steam_elegance descends.
I really need a happy medium somewhere, damn it. Somewhere I wouldn't have to be subjected to so many "buy my crap!" posts nor be bombarded by the elitism of those who think you're not doing it right unless you spend hundreds of dollars per item of clothing made by some professional company (and god forbid you want to be an airship pirate character or one of the working class).
The steam track at D*C had better not be like this, or I shall not be happy.
