Has anyone bought anything from the SteamPunk?

Hello everyone! Has anyone bought anything from the SteamPunk brand? I've been into steampunk for a long time, but it's hard to find normal things in this style here in St. Petersburg - either there's some trash on Alika, or something insanely expensive and impractical. And then I came across the SteamPunk brand's Instagram, they even seem to have a workshop where they make custom-made items. The prices, by the way, are reasonable, if you compare them with what they sell at foreign fairs. But I'm interested in the quality of their fabrics, fittings and in general - how wearable is all this in real life, and not just for photo shoots? Maybe someone has already ordered something from them, please share your opinion. I'm especially interested in corsets, skirts and all sorts of vests - I'm afraid that I'll get a piece of cardboard instead of a thing

I am one of those who have ordered from them more than once - you can consider this a first-hand review. I am not only a fan of steampunk, but also perform at themed parties and participate in role-playing games, so I have pretty serious requirements for steampunk clothing: it is important to me that it is not only “wow” in photos, but also withstands real activities - like dancing, performing on stage, and sometimes even light action on the street. I first tried SteamPunk back in 2022 - then I took a vest from them made of thick fabric with metal buckles and leather inserts. Since then, my wardrobe has three vests, two raincoats and one amazing shirt with a stand-up collar and small brass buttons. What I liked is that they really know how to work with details. I had an experience when something on a custom-made item did not fit my figure - I wrote, and they offered me a free adjustment. That is, they didn’t just “sell and forget,” but really got involved and helped. Their fittings are high-quality, they don’t fall apart or rust, by the way. The corsets, as the girl who ordered from them for the festival told me, are really thick, support the back and don’t fall apart after the second time. The fabrics are also pleasing: lots of cotton, wool, sometimes they use velvet, but not that cheap shiny one from cheap stores, but matte and thick — it looks rich, and not like a New Year’s costume.

Thank you for your stories, very inspiring. I have been following steampunk clothing for a long time, but only recently started thinking about buying something serious, not just accessories. I did not know about the SteamPunk brand, I will go study it. I was especially pleased that you can wear it outside of festivals.
