I can’t get enough of nerdy skirts, and this flouncy TARDIS one is the latest on my wishlist. This charming design is by the seller of the equally adorable R2-D2 and Harley Quinn skirts, and I want them all. This Doctor Who take is available for custom order and just takes 1-2 weeks to make.

If you want to temper your feminine appearance with the nunchuck-wielding ass-kickery of Bruce Lee, this incredibly bizarre dress should do the trick. It will surely get you noticed as well – especially if you happen to be sporting the mannequin facial expression and Tinky Winky hairstyle seen above.

Light is the new black and these beautiful dresses are made of nothing more. They are the creations of advertising and art photographer Atton Conrad. He makes the dresses by remotely triggering the camera while painting the light around the model in a blacked-out studio. It’s a shame there’s no way to actually wear these photographic pieces of art.

Etsy seller “Alienphant” is offering this Legend of Zelda dress which features the Hylian shield and a light golden yellow fabric with the triforce symbol in a repeating pyramid pattern. The back of the dress laces up like a corset and there is an invisible zipper on the side – however, since there is no stretch, you may want to inquire about custom sizes if you don’t fit the 34″ bust 27″ waist of this example – but act fast, as this dress is a limited run.

Even The Doctor would slow down for a minute if he saw you in this corset and matching skirt. It’s guaranteed to be a perfect fit because each is custom handmade to your exact measurements. This cotton corset laces up the back through silver grommets with blue satin ribbon. You can get the corset alone, or make the look complete with the matching cotton skirt pictured after the break. Wear this, and you just might get a chance at being the next Companion.
There were some beautiful costumes in The Hunger Games but one of the most memorable has to be the Girl on Fire outfit that Katniss Everdeen wore while in The Capital promoting the coming games. It was an absolutely stunning costume in the movie, and now you can have one of your own. This handmade, two-piece outfit is a zippered jacket and a skirt and can be yours just in time for the summer convention season.

Something about Star Wars translates to cute and frilly. You’ve probably seen the R2-D2 ballerina outfit complete with a tutu, and now there’s a delightfully adorable Darth Vader tutu dress to go with it. This design incorporates many textures including tulle, felt, rhinestones/crystals, and what appears to be glitter. I think it would pair nicely with a Vader helmet and some black shoes that lace all the way to the knee.
Now I’ve talked myself into wanting it. Darnit.

When you’ve been dating someone for 18 months from 4,000 miles away, it’s only natural that your wedding theme would be superheroes. You’ve survived a lot after all. Megan Suszynski and her husband Thomas like comics and kitsch, so they combined all those factors and planned their DIY wedding.
The bride and bridesmaids wore capes and masks, there was a singing Batman, and they included lots of simple but effective touches. Plus, the bride wins the nicest bride award ever for having her bridesmaids wear Toms instead of stilettos.

It’s Australian Fashion Week, and designers Romance Was Born have kicked it off with a superheroic line up of outfits. The collection was sponsored by Marvel, and the glamorous dresses glitter with comic book influences – literally in some cases. The line mixes comics with high fashion and includes a variety of textures and patterns reminiscent of your favorite heroes—including the Avengers.
You’ll spot Jack Kirby’s Kirby Krackle as a dress, and you can see the imprint of his creations across the designs (hopefully the Kirby family is having more luck getting credit for these designs than they are for certain characters appearing in certain blockbuster movies). These bold looks are definitely too much for everyday, but they serve as a reminder that comics can indeed be very chic.
