So, for me steampunk style paper doll clothing is a natural evolution of my love of all things Victorian. I’d happily draw steampunk quasi-Victorian outfits every day. I just adore them. When I started the Dames and Dandies paper doll series back in January, I knew I’d be drawing some fashions that embraced my love of all things Victorian.
Today’s steampunk style foray consists of a pair of boots with vertical striped stockings, a skirt trimmed in pleats and a vest over a blouse. There’s also a tiny top hat and a purse to flesh out the outfit. One thing I love about steampunk style paper doll fashions is the little details- the buckles, the studs and the little pleats. Sometimes I don’t want to draw detail, but usually I enjoy the tiny things that make a paper doll outfit unique.
Don’t worry. There is a floating tab designed to help keep that tiny hat on the paper doll’s head. Everything is better with tiny top hats.
Anyway, I always love to hear from y’all, so let me know what you think of today’s paper doll set in a comment. Should I do more steampunk? Less steampunk?

Your steampunk sets are always great. I love that you used a little pop of color. That blue/brown combination is really nice.
I feel the same way about Victorian and steampunk styles! The more steampunk, the better! This is beautiful. Thank you!
I heard someone ask if I knew any Passover dolls, and I realized that I couldn’t find any good ones beyond these animal ones on Google (they weren’t really what I was going for). Could you make some? Maybe a full set instead of the 2 outfit format?
I don’t do fully formatted paper dolls for the blog anymore and I don’t plan on starting up again. I may someday do a Passover paper doll, but as the holiday ends on Saturday, it won’t be this year. I’ve also always struggled with what a Passover paper doll would entail. I suppose a Seder plate, Haggadah and a tiny box of Matzo.
