The brief for this outfit was Doctor Who inspired "Lady Time Lord" meets steampunk. We opted for a Victorian style skirt and blouse which include hand-painted silk designs showing Gallifreyan writing, a tardis, moons and stars. The skirt is layered and frilled to give a really full look, and is decorated with metallic fibres, threads and charms. A buckle and zip centred flowers complete the effect. The co-ordinating jacket was based on a Victorian riding jacket and included darts and pleats to give a neat, fitted shape; buttons, buckles and drawstrings are used for both structure and embellishment. 

This dress took approximately 45 hours to complete.
