Steam punk sister

5 replies

Need some help as I've been tasked with helping my sister (60) find an outfit for my Niece's wedding next year. My sister will be walking with her daughter down the aisle. Civil ceremony at a pretty chilled country wedding.

My sister is a bit of a steam punk person, although she also loved the New Romantics style, that said she is also a bit of a hippy chick at times.

She is 5 3, apple shape, size 16. I am usually really good with picking outfits but I am a bit stumped as to what direction to go in.

She's probably be most comfortable in something like palazzo pants and fedora.

Anyone got ideas?

Tricky one. Not sure about budget or time of year?

How about a fairly plain occasion dress in favoured style ( or trousers/ skirt and top) then put her stamp on it with quirky jacket, hat, shoes etc

Irregular choice good for shoes.
Etsy have lots of steampunk items hats etc

Some interesting items on this website lots of red and black.
The other website more generic no experience of either.

How would your niece feel if your sister had a more unconventional outfit - delighted at her quirky mother being true to herself or horrified that she is outshining her??? A quiet word with niece first is a good idea

@24Dogcuddler actually I love the first one, the kingfisher dress would look lovely.

@gogomoto oh don't worry it won't be upstaging in any way at all.
