After a suitable period of mourning, Victorian ladies could gradually leave their blacks for subdued colors such as gray, mauve, and purple. Being a Merry Widow, my closet seems to have several mourning purple gowns.
Gown: Goth1c0 Ophelia Victorian in purple and black.
Love the striped corset with the belts circling the waist. Includes a high collar with a bow plus the top hat decorated with flowers and ribbons.Gown: Grim Bros - Miss Vapeur Plum
This gown definitely has touches of steampunk brass and cogs on the collar and sleeve cuffs which come in two options of purple to match the dress or steampunk brown.
