Notes on Steampunk Costuming
Fantasy Victorian vs. Authentic Victorian. Although we recognize that aspects of "Steampunk" are generally Victorian in style, they can detract from the authentic Victorian design of the Fair. Steampunk elements and accessorizing may therefore not be worn as part of an approvable costume. Given that steampunk is quite vogue we fully expect the general public to bring plenty of that look to our show as they have in the past.  As an official participant (entertainer or vendor) of the Fair, we expect - and require - you to help us maintain the authentic Victorian look and feel of the Fair.  Thank you!  Note: certain members of Legion Fantastique are partially exempt from this policy and are approved by their director and the Fair costume director based on the design and characters of their Jules Verne based environmental area.
