Steampunk wedding dress?

[hazliya]

I really have this strong urge to make a steampunk wedding dress. It's in my head. I know the shape, the bustline, the materials, everything. Made of yards and yards of off-white lace, gold gears, white roses, and pearls and clock hands and satin ribbon and all that frippery.

I can easily get my hands on these things. And with this kind of drive, I could probably finish the dress in a week or so.

My only issue is this: What do I do with it? I mean, it's a huge freaking dress. You don't wear those every day. Or ever. And I don't feel like letting it take up space in my house.

That's the only thing holding me back from making this gorgeous monstrosity. After I finish it... what then?

EDIT: It's done!

I saw some wearable steampunk art being displayed at conventions. You get a big enough audience and you'll find some geek with a big enough wallet.
