Images and comments behind the cut.
My favourite thing here is the purple mandarin-collar top. The top with the bow around the collar would be really great for layering, and I think it's made of a jersey knit, so it would be lightweight and stretchy. The corset-style top doesn't seem to be very snug-fitting, so if you want a close fit you may have to have it altered, or perhaps order a size down? Again, these are all junior sizes, so they run smaller than misses'. Several of the tops on this website are available in XL sizes, though.
Here, the top that I have indicated as having 'many styles' really is an interesting piece. There are about six-or-so variations of fabric options on the website, all of which have a slightly different feel to them. Also available in solid white and black. I selected the navy stripe because I thought it showed off the bib most clearly.
I wasn't sure about the tube-style top with the buttons, but thought someone else might see potential for it. If nothing else it might make an interesting layering piece.
I own a large belt like the black one shown here, and when it's worn high on the waist, it makes a lady's figure shine!
Several odd/interesting items from Moda Xpress here -- the two denim-like corset-style tops in particular caught my eye, and I thought they definitely were a little more towards the punk side of steampunk, which I would like to see more of. Most of these items are just Neo-Victorian, but I think the strapless denim-like corset in particular could jazz up an outfit.
The black-and-white twofer top from Rue21 is one that I have been lusting after for ages.
The bottom row of button-down shirts are for the young gentlemen, and again are a little more 'punk'. With the right steamy outfit, though, I think they'd really spice things up. If you don't like the designs here, buy your own button-down and screen on some tentacles or cogs or circuitboards or something else appropriate to your dream steam environment.
Last, a couple of cute accessories from Target.com
Sorry I don't have individual links to all the items -- I thought you'd all just like a heads up. Many of these items are available in other colours than those I selected here.
Happy hunting!
