You can design a TARDIS dress to suit any occasion. Bridgette made this lovely gown to wear to the Southern California Renaissance Faire. I love the badge style ribbon she made for St. John’s and the key around her neck. I bet all the knights tried to woo her for companionship.
Thanks for the tip, Bridgette! Send your cosplay photos to tips@fashionablygeek.com.
This girl may be my new hero. According to her I Ship It Like UPS Tumblr posts, “Nobody asked me to prom, so I took my calculator”. Indeed, the TI-84 will never let you down.
On a side note, I kinda love the rest of her Tumblr feed. I wish I’d had Tumblr at her age. I think I would have come out of my nerd shell much sooner.

Who is that lunatic wearing that hideous suit? You sir, can be that lunatic thanks to Firebox.
The OppoSuit Test Signal design is available in sizes 36-48 and can be had for only $93.09. Damn you’re classy.
How many times would you feel comfortable wearing the same dress shirt without giving it a good wash? According to Wool & Prince, if you wear one of their shirts then you’ve got about 100 days. The shirts feature a finely woven wool thread that makes them resistant to odor while maintaining the look and feel of a traditional cotton dress shirt. There’s no need to dry clean and you won’t need to worry about wrinkles.
Their kickstarter is fully funded and still has 22 days to go, so you have plenty of time to make the $98 minimum pledge and snag one of these when they ship around December.

It’s approaching springtime and that means more wedding bells than usual are in the air. Though I don’t tend to get excited about weddings or planning them, seeing the plethora of geek flavored touches available to brides and grooms these days makes the whole affair more appealing. Etsy is full of treasures that allow you to either go with a complete theme or just add highlights that show off your fandom. I’ve found a few things that would add nerdiness to any nuptials.
Non-floral bouquets seem to be more popular these days so why not use them to share your passion? RBK Creations has plenty to choose from, including the Angry Birds design pictured above.

It seems like one of the dangers of planning a themed wedding is going overboard. Being swept away to the point where you lose track of the details has to be a challenge. Candice Benjamin and Kiera (of Jakfoto Films) got it absolutely right though. They both love Doctor Who, and they found ways to incorporate it into their wedding to make them happy without leaving guests in the dark. They managed to add touches that were both integral and subtle.
The backdrop for the “altar” resembles a TARDIS, the officiant wore a Fourth Doctor scarf, the cake featured Van Gogh’s Starry, Starry night, and the decorations were whimsical and fit right in with the series. They did an amazing job.

You may not think you need a tie clip but if you plan to walk outside where there could be a breeze, save yourself the trouble. Pin or clip your tie down; you don’t want to eat it or have it blow up and get stuck to your lip gloss (yep, been there). Etsy seller The Little Saint has a plethora of nerdy tie clip options that are practical and add personality to your outfit.
The stainless steel plated designs come with 8-bit nods such as Space Invaders or a Zelda life meter and there’s also a lightsaber clip, a Superman symbol, and more.

Fancy wearing a pair of butterfly knives on your sleeves? Sounds like a pretty crazy idea (and a nightmarish outfit in the making), but I don’t mean tacking on a pair of full-sized knives on your cuffs. Rather, I’m talking about these butterfly knife cufflinks that actually fold out to reveal miniature but fully usable blades for your cutting pleasure. They even come with sharpeners so you can keep them sharp and ready for use.
