Description
Hi guys!I'm planning to do a steampunk cosplay and I just wanna know your opinion. So, which one should it be?
1. Treasure hunter
2. Scientist
3. Engineer
4. Racer
5. Pilot
Please include that I'm kinda short (163 cm) and not a model slim girl but not chubby either (I'm somewhere in between...). And my face, let's say it, not really pretty but make up can do miracles!
I hope :"D

Wow, we're the exact same length and from your description I get the idea that we also have sort of the same body type. My own steampunk outfit will be a bit like the top of 1 and the bottom of 3 (short-sleeved shirt, corset, one long glove, shorts and bustle skirt, belt with bag, stockings, knee-high socks and lace-up heels).

I love the Scientist one! Mind if I use it for the local Steampunk con here next year?

based on your description i'd say number 1 would be perfect for you - it'd flatter and hide the appropriate places.
stripes are amazing when used right (up and down 'lengthens' you), and the belt around the middle sometimes emphasises the hips a bit too much if you have wide hips to begin with, but a corset does wonders, and the two should compliment each other. that dress/jacket combo is stunning, and it'll be comfy to wear as well.
failing that, i'd go with number 4 - cut outs tend to emphasise the place where there's no material, ie; your thighs, but if you work the cutout right, it can also make you look thinner (like your thighs are only as wide as the darker material).
...though i do like number 2....
stay away from the coat, though - coats aren't a good look for shorter people.
your call, anyway.
i love all of them, btw - are they your designs?

Piolet is cool! If you are short, long dresses aren't the best idea ^u^

1,5 így rajzon ezek jólnéznekki XD talán még a 4 [csak a csini mellényt necces beszerezni, de a többirészét könnyebben :'D]
A 3 az túlfuri XDD ruhára lenge, de nem túl nőies a többi része [ kesztyű,se a csizma a szerelős-csavarkulcsos övtatyóse]

#5 though I'm a sucker for adding scarves to steampunk pilots. That's my vote. Though I find that props are very important to selling a steampunk. maybe brainstorm a few if you aren't doing the engineer.
#4 might work better if you didn't have the midriff opening- unless you've got abdominal definition(strong). Looking like you can handle lifting heavy equipment/wrangling an out of control vehicle is generaly a big advantage for 3 &4.
#2 mould work well if there were other props/lab apron/lab-coat. it speaks of something else as it is. And stockings for the garter-if it can be functional without violating laws of some sort it's more authentic if it's functional. Excluding nerf gun mods in conventions
and #1 needs props the most to not end up feeling like a bar-wench cosplay.- something to test metals/electricity, check the authenticity of jewels, something to handle danger... A bigger pouch or several might be ideal.
Ah, I guess I went and critiqued as well. I apologize if I trod on toes.

Nah, it's okay every critique helps me so I appreciate yours as well.
I know that steampunk is the best when it's detailed. These sketches are just the very bases of my thoughts so it'll be with more props and accessories.
But I really like your ideas and thank you for sharing your opinion.

Thanks. I know a lot of people are expanding well past the victorian aspect of steampunk. I'm still waiting on one of the locals 'roller derby girl' steampunk. I think that would be fascinating.

steampunk roller derby?
...
all i can see now is big poofy skirts and scary girls throwing oddly luminous vials around O-O;;
while wielding oversized, modified wrenches with extreme prejudice.
thank you - the laugh is appreciated! ^_^

3, 4, or 5. 1 seems more like a boutique worker, and 2 looks rather dainty for steampunk designs.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
I think that if you're not very slim or model-like , number 1 and 2 would fit better that the others... for example number 3 in for skinny ones like Number 4 is for normal ones.... Though I think that number 5 would fit too :S i dont know.... anyways i rly love number 4...the Racer xD

I choose: 4, 5, 1, 3, 2!!! Nice work Congratulation!!!

They are all very good. I'd go with 1 personally, but I would've had a tophat with goggles. I luv dem goggle-tophats. xD
5 would've been my second choice, but it doesn't feel as steampunkish as 1.
Hmm yeah, I'd have to vote for 1.
