We have something currently tacked together which resembles the Zeeda dress pretty well :) Thanks for the advice and assistance!

Has anyone tried to actually sew something resembling River's Zeeda dress? Does anyone have any advice as to how my mum and I would go about it?

My dress has arrived!!! :D *Major fangirl squealing!!*

Anyway...Here's a picture of it along with my All Saints belt and my Vortex Manipulator. :) Ignore the boots, I needed them for this pic but I will be getting proper ones for the actual costume/convention.  All thats left is my wig which needs sorting out and I need black tights. They can be ( Read more... )

I need help! I'm searching for a certain Jumper and Shirt! The One Rory wore in "Lets Kill Hitler", I've been searching for it awhile and noticed that Amy also wore in it the final moments of "The Wedding of River Song". If anyone can help me find what it is, and what the shirt is is, I'd be really happy!
