According to a Tumblr post by Eve The Bisexual, the corsets in this photo are

from Dark Garden corsetry in San Francisco… The outfits shown here are from their Edwardian Ball 2013 collection, which you can see more of in their gallery.

Dark Garden Corsetry and Couture does indeed have an unlinkable gallery on this page which is labeled “Edwardian Ball 2013” and which features some of the same models and costumes, although not this particular three-model photo. They say “We were lucky enough to have Joel Aron photograph the collection at a beautiful location, Salle Pianos in San Francisco.” Joel Aron’s website is here and includes another gallery featuring these same models and corsetry.

Tumblr favorite #1779: Steampunk Tinkerbell Cosplay

These images come originally from a post at EPBOT, where Jen writes about her visit to Megacon 2013 in Orlando, Florida:

I fangirled all over Steampunk Tinkerbell here, because I follow the maker of this costume, Firefly Path, on Facebook, and saw a few preview pics just the day before. If you love gorgeous costumes as much as I do, then you really should be following JoEllen’s work. As you can see, it is stunning. (This isn’t JoEllen in the pic, by the way; she’s just the one who made the entire costume, from boots to wings.)

The model in these pictures is Madeline Masquerade, a Vancouver model and cosplayer whose Facebook page features another shot of her in this Steampunk Tinkerbelle costume as her FaceBook avatar. The page also features this photo of her in the costume. On her Tumblr blog, Madeline strives to correct the Tumblr attribution-stripping one of the photos suffered:

Steampunk Tinkerbell Cosplay

Fabricator: Firefly Path

Cosplayer/Model: Madeline Masquerade

Photographer: EPBOT

I’ve been seeing this photo going around multiple facebook pages and tumblrs with no credit to the model and/or fabricator. A few blogs have even gone so far as to remove the photographer’s watermark. I thought I’d repost it with proper credit, as stealing images is not cool.

I agree. Stripping attribution is not cool. That’s why I pay Bacchus to put it back!
