Steampunk Animation

Miyazaki Haya, the well-known Japanese animation director who directed many of the famous animation movies which have been well-received around the world. As a big fan of his works, I found this big shot director has a special interest in steampunk. The movie which earned him a great reputation was “Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind”, was a scientific fiction set in a special post-modern era. The design of the leading characters was quite of the steampunk styles. All the characters indeed go well with the themes, revealing the cruel side of modern technology and the pathetic life of the post-modern world. Another famous animation of Miyazaki Haya is “Howl’s Moving Castle”, in which the grand concept is steampunk style and the moving castle is a typical steampunk design. When you watch that movie, you would find that the moving castle is actually more like a giant robot thing but with a strong sense of machinery. 

Jule Verne: the Father of Steampunk

Although it seems not to be 100 per cent accurate that Jule Verne started steampunk as a genre by his novel “Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea”, he is surely a master of science fiction at his own time. His imagination is far beyond his contemporaries and his wild imagination did inspire a lot of artist and fans to create such a new genre.

If you think that steampunk comes out of nowhere then you must be very wrong. In Verne’s work, steampunk has already existed for long. The submarines and those advanced devices and that historic background combined together creating this weird steampunk style, which drove many fans in fantasy about this mysteriously creative genre.
Jule Verne tended to imagine himself to be the leading character of the novel who is always a weirdly scientist having big dreams and huge plans for his own life. He always focuses on inventing weird stuff and dresses himself in a madly scientific way.

Put together the main garments of your outfit. If you're a woman, this likely means a corseted Victorian day gown.

Choosing Flattering Dresses for Steampunk Look

The size of women's shapes are changing. There is no denying that in the western world the average sizes of women are bigger now then they were four or five score years ago. However with a bigger size does not mean that women are no longer look great. There are still ways to be beautiful as well. Here is one way: choose flattering dresses in steampunk look.

The flattering here means covering the body parts you are not confident in. And they are usually hips and thighs. One of the most common mistakes is that an A-line skirt will help to cover hips and thighs. You should be careful, this is only true to some degree. Not all skirts are the same! Full skirt or ball gown is another type of silhouette in steampunk style dresses. It is good to cover up the hips and thighs.
Other than the silhouette, it is also important to take the fabric into consideration. The dress with too hard fabric may not look draped and natural. And the one with too soft fabric may not benefit for the figure.
To sum up, when we have curves or are self-conscious about a specific area, we usually tend to cover it up by wearing something quite loose. So for a gorgeous look, it is wise to choose flattering dresses.

Sexy Corsets in Steampunk Style for Women

Corsets are necessities for women in victorian period. There exists a thought that the slimmer waist, the more beautiful the women are. Then the corsets are designed to shape their figure. This is the use of corset during the ancient times. However, in nowadays, women choose corsets for the different and sexy look rather the so slim figure. It becomes more and more popular.

Besides its popularity, there are so many styles in corsets such as gothic, punk, medieval and so on. There is another well known style called steampunk. Read on to get more about steampunk style corsets.
