So. Here I am, the summer after my first year of high school (yay!) and I have literally nothing to do. Okay, I make occasional trips to my kitchen, but other than that, I've beaten like, five of my video games and watched Pitch Perfect about ten times. Not to mention all the Disney movies. So I decided that for Halloween or this school thing we call Character Day, I am going to be Rose Tyler from The Idiot's Lantern (Season 2 of Doctor Who). You know, the big, fluffy, pink 1950's dress? Like this:
I've been in love with this outfit since I laid eyes on it. Slight problem: It's a one of a kind dress, meaning I'd have to make it. Also, I'm not blonde like Rose, but that's not a big deal. The jacket is also a pretty big-name brand jacket hovering around $120. If I had that kind of money, I'd be in Costa Rica. Not sitting in my living room crying over the Doctor's broken hearts (coughcoughDoomsdaycough). I did find a really good imitation on eBay, though. And it's kinda-sorta almost cheap! Here it is:

The wig's up in the air right now. But other than that, I just need to sew the dress (I'm thinking a simple circle skirt and a sequined tube top) and accessorize, which shouldn't be too hard. The shoes are the important part. They happen to be shoes that hover around the $200 dollar mark, and like I said, I can't do that. So some nice, plain, pink shoes that look vaguely like this should do.
So, yeah. Better get to work on this if I want to wear it for Halloween. If you need me, you'll probably find me desperately searching for fabric at Joann's.
Ciao! And of course, Geronimo!
Sara :)
