Summer is the most popular time for Steampunk and Comics conventions, so we wanted to make sure to include some new posts featuring costume ideas. This Steampunk costume accessory is so small that sometimes people forget about them or don’t see them when cosplayers add them. And we are talking about spats! Such a simple addition for such a cool look. So we went to Etsy to see if there were any vendors making spats. We were surprised to find so many varieties including leather, fabric, tapestry and lace spats. This page illustrates a cross-section of the Steampunk Victorian spats we found on Etsy.
