Philip
M: "I
live in the UK and visited Wettenberg in July (2006) for the Old Timers
Festival. It was a hot weekend and many ladies were dressed in period
clothes from the 50's and 60's. I saw one person who I think was male, but
there may have been others not so noticeable.
The
music was good, there were
many period cars and a flea market. Period clothes were on sale. The
town is near Wetzlar approximately 50 miles north of Frankfurt on Main.

Deviant Art website;
this costume
genre seems to be gaining in popularity.
"Steamed Punk" hosts an annual convention called SalonCon;
Here is a sample from the Background: 'Steampunk' is a movement that reaches back to the 19th century and then creates stories and gadgets and clothing that would have been futuristic at that point in time. Here's an example:
