Fashion Feature: Royal Peasantry Designs

https://www.etsy.com/listing/172662020/tribal-headdress-with-steel-antlers-and?ref=shop_home_active_6Continuing my post from yesterday, I'll be talking today about Royal Peasantry Designs out of Asheville, North Carolina. Though Royal Peasantry makes Ritual Adornment and Tribal Fashion pieces for the most part, I've found some of their work has Steampunk elements to them.  The shop purveyor, Daniella Miller, uses a lot of fur, metals, and leather to create some really unique looks. 

The Tribal Headdress (at top right) is indicative of Royal Peasantry's blend of natural and man-made elements that I like so much.  I could just as easily see the headdress at a fashion show or on the head of an Airship Captain, sailing the seven skies in search of plunder.  The Tribal Headdress goes for $775, which I assume is due to the extensive amount work that must have gone into the intricate details.  View the Etsy posting for additional close-up images.

Below is a great piece that's billed as a leather hip bag festival belt.  Again, I've seen similar styling on the League of S.T.E.A.M. and other Steampunk enthusiasts.  The belt goes for $185 and would be perfect for your next sky pirate raid!  For more great angles, check out the Etsy posting.

In addition to the Etsy store, Royal Peasantry Designs runs an actual storefront in Asheville, NC, located at: 80 N Lexington Ave; Asheville, North Carolina 28801.

this stunning representation of the perfect Steampunk wedding dress.  Its Victorian styling is accented by pieces of bronze, copper, and brass which make it really pop.

Seller's Description: "Elegant chained and powerful, coupled with dramatic structure. Properly corseted and perfectly constructed to hold the shape of the sweetheart. Your wedding dress is sure to make a lasting memory. Layered sweeping tulle skirt and fitted embellished corseted bodice of intricate metalwork design, bronze, copper, brass, beads and leathers, create the essence of found love.  Size 2-4/5"

Royal Peasantry Design is headed by Daniella Miller out of Asheville, North Carolina.  This particular dress costs $2999.00, which seems spot on with what I understand many wedding dresses cost these days. I like Daniella's work so much, this will be the first of multiple features from her shop.  Expect the second edition tomorrow.

Trevor's Rating of the Steampunk Steel Corset Wedding Dress: 98% (For a stunning design with Steampunk and tribal features that meld perfectly with its Victorian roots)
