And some have called Swordpoint (and presumably the better of its two sequels, The Privilege of the Sword, as well>) "Mannerpunk" (as in "Comedy of Manners").

By the time you get to the third book or so, they're showing steampunk-ish characteristics, and they're definitely early gaslight. (And one of my childhood heroines, Dido Twite, shows up in the second book.)
