FAQs
What is the main material of the Steampunk Noblewoman Costume?
The costume is primarily made of 100% polyester, featuring satin, velvet, and tulle fabrics for different elements.
Does the costume include a petticoat?
Yes, the costume has an attached two-ply petticoat made of satin and tulle.
Are the belts and lacing on the costume adjustable?
The belts are decorative and sewn on. The lacing indicated on the top is also purely for aesthetic purposes and does not function for tightening or adjusting the fit.
What accessories are included with the costume?
The costume includes a short-sleeved dress with an attached petticoat, a corset-style waistcoat top, and two fingerless velvet gloves with belt and buckle details.
How should I clean this costume?
It is recommended to hand wash the costume in cold water with a mild detergent and air dry it. Avoid bleaching and wringing.
Is this costume suitable for very warm weather?
The 100% polyester material may not be very breathable, so it might be less comfortable for extended wear in hot conditions. Consider this when planning your event.
What size is this specific product?
This product listing is for the Steampunk Noblewoman Costume in size XXL.
Troubleshooting
Costume feels too tight or loose.
The costume has a zipper closure at the back. For minor tightness, focus on the fit of the undergarments. The decorative lacing and belts are not functional for size adjustment. If the overall fit is significantly off for XXL, consider if the sizing chart was consulted prior to purchase.
Frills or decorative elements appear creased.
Gently steam the frills or decorative areas on a low setting, or use a very low heat iron with a protective cloth on the reverse side. Avoid direct high heat on satin and velvet.
Zipper is difficult to move.
Check for any fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to move the zipper up and down. Apply a small amount of graphite pencil lead or wax to the zipper teeth to help it glide more smoothly.
Tulle petticoat seems flat.
Gently shake the skirt to help the tulle regain some volume. For more structure, a separate, more rigid petticoat could be worn underneath, though this is not part of the standard costume.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This costume is designed for immediate wear. Ensure the zipper at the back is fully functional. The attached petticoat provides volume, and the decorative belts on the skirt and top are pre-sewn. Adjust the fingerless gloves for a comfortable fit.
Compatibility: This costume is a standalone piece and does not require specific electronic or mechanical compatibility. It is designed to fit a size XXL frame.
Care: To maintain the appearance of the costume:
- Hand Wash Recommended: Due to the mix of materials (satin, velvet, tulle) and decorative elements, hand washing in cold water is advised.
- Mild Detergent: Use a mild detergent suitable for delicate fabrics.
- Avoid Bleaching: Do not use bleach or harsh chemicals.
- Rinse Thoroughly: Ensure all soap is rinsed out.
- Do Not Wring: Gently squeeze out excess water without wringing, which can damage the fabric and shape.
- Air Dry: Lay flat or hang to air dry away from direct sunlight or heat sources.
- Ironing: If ironing is necessary, use a low heat setting and iron on the reverse side, especially for satin and velvet areas. A pressing cloth may be beneficial.
