Doctor Who meets Regency

It just sprung to mind the 1820s dresses were a bit Dalek-ish. So here is a Doctor Who inspired frock.
You will now be returned to usual programming. lol!

      I'd do it by making fabric pouch's filling with wadding then attaching them to the skirt. The authentic 1820's dresses usually kept details to the hem http://pinterest.com/pin/310255861800068207/
      I found this original fashion plate

      Well, Timelords do have that ability. Did you know that Mary Poppins may have also been a Timelord in the Edwardian Era? http://verse.aasemoon.com/images/thumb/1/18/Mary_Poppins_TimeLord.jpg/819px-Mary_Poppins_TimeLord.jpg

      ZOMG, I love that fashion plate. Costume on!
