    Great Steam Punk episode guys!

    Great episode! And how funny was it watching Erik and Steve Dance together? ROFL

  • Meg wrote on August 29, 7:31 pm

    I LOVE this episode guys. The bustle is truly incredible. Amazing work.

    Erik, you dog you. :D

  • Megan (guest) wrote on August 29, 8:03 pm

    even though my style isnt at all steampunk but i really enjoyed this episode, corinnes outfit and explanation of how and where she got things was very well done

    good job guys!

  • Leix (guest) wrote on August 29, 11:17 pm

    You're a moron.

  • KetchupSoldier wrote on August 29, 8:23 pm

    Dude, this week has been AMAZING. I'm fascinated by steampunk and I really would love to build up more of that aspect to my wardrobe!

  • Weker1 wrote on August 29, 10:21 pm

    That Was My New Favorite Episode.
    Also I had no clue what Steam-Punk was till now But the hole idea of it appeals to me so much!
    Great Episode!
    And Even On thread banger , Steve Nelson Steals the show, Lol!
    I thought his powers only extended to the mogulverse!
    Can't wait to see What's next!
    I say a Suit!

  • Da Vid wrote on August 29, 10:43 pm

    omgosh! love that episode. and i just ADORE Corrinne's outfit! love it!!!

  • creative_license wrote on August 29, 11:01 pm

    corrinne, the outfit was beautiful, i especially love the ruched skirts, that gives me inspiration to make a everyday skirt with that look! the steampunk look is very cool and pretty even tho its not the kind of style i'd wear every day thanks you guys for a GREAT episode

  • ink_bottle wrote on August 29, 11:59 pm

    Awesome tutorials.I've been looking for a good tutorial on making that ruched top for a while now. Don't forget to add some cotton button up fingerless gloves, button up spats, and patterned tights (stripes, lattice etc.) for ladies. Men can also add some higher waisted side-button pants, boots, and lots of random gadgetry and a hat if you're not going for the super messy hair look.

  • wisdom2th wrote on August 30, 1:00 am

    Corinne, that outfit wast THE BOMB! Rob, I liked your shirt as well. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK! I love this site!

  • ricochet (guest) wrote on August 30, 2:22 am

    The funny thing is, i just finished putting together my steampunk ensemble. I made a vest. I bought a top-hat, a pocket-watch, and goggles. Im doing it for the first day of school. Will send pictures.

  • lewis wheatley (guest) wrote on August 30, 4:32 am

    where did you get the goggles that you used instead of the steampunk ones

  • sombra821 wrote on August 30, 10:29 am

    Oooooo a bustle!!! Can't wait to try one!

  • AuroraMcP wrote on August 30, 10:41 am

    Okay, very awesome guys! I've been enjoying every episode this week and this was a great end to it!

  • anomalie (guest) wrote on August 30, 11:47 am

    Great tutorials! I love the men's shirt idea - simple but effective. And I want to try those rouched skirts (I love layering skirts when it gets cold out). Fantastic work!

    Erik and Steve dancing was just cute. :D

  • Street_Cat wrote on August 30, 12:18 pm

    Why is eric wearing your vest?

  • Andie Jayne (guest) wrote on August 30, 12:19 pm

    Wow, even though I'm not steampunk in the slightest, this was my favorite threadbanger episode ever! The explanations and information were so interesting and inspiring. That bustle was beyond amazing. A total work of art! And I might just use Rob's shirt recon to peacoatify a jacket of mine... Thanks guys great job. (Oh and Corinne does have a great booty ;D )

  • lisafestus wrote on August 30, 1:34 pm

    Oh my that is the best dress ever. I love the clothes back then and wish I could dress like that all the time. Thanks for the idea.

  • Andichan wrote on August 30, 1:56 pm

    Thanks for this episode guys! It was so creative and both outfits turned out great! If you ever decide to do another "underground fashion" type episode, gothic lolita would be a really cool theme.

    Thanks for all the vids!

  • loli_blossom wrote on August 30, 5:23 pm

    this episode was awsome its funny i like alot of styles but i never know the name of them till i watch a shop like this and by that time im like 'dam fashion stalkers taking the way i dress' lol. but hey i take all thoes styles and mix them im very alternate just like you corinne your so cool ive been wearing bloomers for years im a bigger girl and bike pants under skirts sometimes is a big granny like. also Andichan i second the gothic lolita love the loli just wish it looked better on bigger ppl....

    have great fun times and keep up the sewing

  • kaianne (guest) wrote on August 30, 5:34 pm

    I truly enjoyed these episodes but I do have to say that Rob's shirt reminded me very much of the HUGE trend of shirts in the 80's. Would have been cool to know that I could have made my own back then!

  • Eric Beck (guest) wrote on August 30, 7:15 pm

    where is the video tutorial for the vest? I've poked around and I can't find anything...

  • Katherine (guest) wrote on August 30, 10:49 pm

    Hi there. I'm from New Orleans, Louisiana. I have evacuated due to hurricane Gustav. I wanted to thank you guys and gals here at Threadbanger. You have the coolest DIY projects and how to's I have ever come across. It's kept my mind occupied and my hands busy making things!!

  • KittyNinja wrote on August 30, 11:24 pm

    I love that outfit!!!...except the bustle....I can deal without that. but the whole shirt/corset thing, omg that's awsome! ^_^

  • camoxx3 (guest) wrote on August 31, 12:38 am

    WOW! Love this episode. The bustle (and the layered skirts) are soo cute!!! Also, love the corset information. The real corset look seems so elegantly old fashioned... but, well, ouch!!
    awesome episode!!!

  • Mateusz (guest) wrote on August 31, 3:24 am

    It's not laracorset.com, but laracorsets.com !!!

  • ryden1172 (guest) wrote on August 31, 12:34 pm

    I think the actual site for the corsets is laracorsets.com In the video it just had laracorset.com which is some random website. Loved the video thanks guys!

  • Create and Destroy wrote on August 31, 2:38 pm

    yeah...sorry about the misspell everyone....its laracorsets.com

  • Mandy (guest) wrote on August 31, 4:29 pm

    Wait, how did you do that to the skirts??

    me confused :(( I have a short/knee length skirt I could try it on.

  • prettypirate wrote on September 1, 3:05 pm

    Hey,

    I invented a Bustle belt, check it out here

  • Mickey (guest) wrote on September 1, 3:56 pm

    Dude, now I've so got me a big dress project for Halloween! Thanks Threadbanger!

  • Le PinkBunny wrote on September 1, 5:09 pm

    Hey guys umm i was watching this video and corrine metioned rooshing (sp?) umm i was wondering if you could explain what it is and how to do it?
    thanks -Jocy

  • saphira wrote on September 2, 9:53 am

    Well,I think it's basically sewing a straight line across the fabric and then pulling the thread,so that the fabric gets ''rushed up'' and creates that ruffly effect.Hope that helps you a bit!!

  • pebbles87 wrote on September 2, 9:50 am

    wowwwww that was one of the best threadbanger vids i've ever seen! very creative.. and totally inspiring!

  • lindsey (guest) wrote on September 2, 11:46 am

    This is such a great intricate episode and fashion! no wonder there was a whole week dedicated to steampunk. well worth the wait. and i love corinne's outfit! nice job!

  • Lyn (guest) wrote on September 2, 12:39 pm

    Best episode EVER!

  • pigglewiggins wrote on September 3, 1:27 pm

    Now that we are all dressed up, how do we find other like minded individuals to hang out with? It's a lot of trouble to go to just to traipse around my apt.

  • xles (guest) wrote on September 5, 7:20 pm

    Awsome, now. for your next month long feature (preferably also a joint effort with Indy mogul bfx..):
    Cyberpunk... It would be soooo rad. =)
    I wonder if cleaning my desk with a leather jacket and a hot glue gun would do it... =P

  • ScreamingSockMonkey wrote on September 8, 8:51 pm

    Hey Corinne,

    if i could make a request for a new video...the Renaissance fair is coming here soon. I absolutely love the clothing there but..eek so expensive. Well, i've been thrift store shopping so much that everything seems that way. But if you could go a little farther back in time and teach me how to make renaissance clothing such as bodices, chemises, corsets *and substitutes for boning*, and maybe throw in some guy stuff there too, it'd be the most awesome thing ever!!! plz consider.

    ~Screaming Sock Monkey~

  • Carly (guest) wrote on September 24, 5:36 pm

    Yeah, that's a great idea!! You could even make your own Halloween costume! I've been looking all over the net for patterns, but I've hardly found anything useful.

  • your_femme_fatale wrote on September 9, 5:31 pm

    i don't know if this helps at all, but if anyone is interested in similar period pieces, The Ladies Treasury has great true historical patterns. and for free too!

    btw, thanks for the great video guys!

  • dirtrider92 (guest) wrote on September 16, 12:00 am

    Hey you guys just turned me on to steampunking, thanks! lol, I like the vest of Steven Nelson (I think thats his name) but I cant tell it dosn't look like gears sewed on his vest but a tatterned imprint? what excatly is it?

  • Danny (guest) wrote on September 24, 9:33 pm

    ho'kay thank you so much you are amazing. I love you and i love your show and I LOVE STEAM PUNK!

  • alexis (guest) wrote on October 7, 8:16 pm

    hey where did rod get that top hat i so want one!!

  • SakuraRosalie wrote on October 9, 11:19 am

    Great episode. inspired me a lot for a costume I'm making for Halloween.
    But how do you do the ruching? You didn't explain in the video. :(
    Is there a link to it?

    But otherwise, it helped a lot. Thanks for the corset links! I've been looking for the right one for the longest time! :D

  • SakuraRosalie wrote on October 9, 11:21 am

    Oh, there's no corsets left on Louise Black! D:

  • PlagueRiddenVictorian wrote on October 15, 12:47 am

    I know that this video was posted a long time ago but I can't help but ask what ruching is? How do you do it? It is something you have to do by hand or can you use a machine. If anyone has any idea please let me know.

  • rangoon (guest) wrote on November 8, 11:59 am

    Thanks, this is just the coolest thing! Long live steampunk.
