We all remember our first cosplay, right? Well, my first experiment in the genre was rather complicated. I made a Dalek from the TV program Doctor Who. Which honestly, if you haven't yet figured out I'm a fan, then you haven't been paying attention to my posts (here and here).
Anyway, my inspiration for the Dalek dress came from a picture I came across online. I loved the look and the simplicity of the dress. You will notice that the picture is not of a steampunk-style Dalek. That wasn't even my original intention, yet my dress evolved that way, so I went with it.

I did not have much in the way of sewing skills way back when, so I used this as a jumping off point. I had to find a pattern that matched the shape of the dress in a way I wanted, so I opted for New Look #0178.
I used views A & E (the pink dress) for the shape. Obviously, some modifications would be needed to make this look like a Dalek. Not just a Dalek, a steampunk Dalek, as it turned out.
Over the next few posts, I will cover the making of this cosplay.
