..would this pattern work to do sometype of Steampunk garb? If it is then are there specific colors that I should use/stay away from? I'm still rather new to the fashion....so any help would be greatly appreciated..Thanks in advance.

The skirt is pretty but the top reads more Renaissance than Victorian. I would pair it with a button up shirt with a band collar and possibly a vest or a bolero. A lot of the style is made by adding layers of details. Any color works what you have to remember is the victorians liked bright crazy colors.

Look here there are plenty of resources here.
