Description
Another commission. This woman wanted a Tardis dress, but she specifically didn't want cosplay. She wanted a casual day dress that would be appropriate for everyday wear. She ended up sketching it for me pretty exactly, and I built it.The skirt is hand dyed to achieve the space effect, then hand painted to create the Tardis and stars. The Police Public Call Box sign was also hand painted.

I really like the simplicity of this dress. A lot of tardis dresses I've seen look to much like a photo of the tardis stamped onto a dress pattern (I suppose those are the cosplay ones tough huh?). But this is very lovely, and that touch at the bottom really adds to the whole thing. :3 😊

This dress is one of the best tardis dresses I've seen. The style is very flattering and the fade to space with a tiny tardis is pretty!

How did you do the dip-dye? Any good online tutorials you could point me towards? I've always wanted to try dyeing my own textiles!

This particular dye technique is called ombré. I learned to do it in a dyeing class at my grad school, but I'm sure you could google it and find tutorials. The technique isn't complicated, but it does take some practice to learn your own sense of timing and to be steady when you dip into the dye. Good luck!
