This week for TARDIS Tuesday- I have a post I really excited at! Sunday's new Doctor Who episode was entitled Orphan 55 and featured Yaz Khan (played by Mandip Gill, who I dressed up as last week).

I was looking at some promo pictures last week (see above- the one with the tentacle) and I was intrigued about where her outfit might come from. I knew it was a jumpsuit and it was navy but looking at that print, it was fairly ambiguous, could be birds, could be flowers. I zoomed in and realised that the flowers were tulips. And decided to have a hunt and see if I could be the first person to ID what she is wearing. I am grateful for people in the past who have IDed much liked outfits worn by Clara and I managed to identify a jumper worn by Yaz last year before seeing anyone else post about it so I decided to have a go. Because I had managed to guess that the print was tulips- I found the Jumpsuit, pretty quickly! But alas, it was sold out from the original shop, Warehouse. It's VERY unusual for me to buy something new retail nowadays- I almost exclusively shop second-hand. But I was the one to identify this garment, somehow, I really wanted to be the person who wore it first!! I found it for sale at two other mail order catalogues but only in Size 14 plus.
I decided to mention I thought I'd IDed the item last TARDIS Tuesday. A fellow liker of Yaz in the USA messaged me to ask what the item I thought I'd found was. I told her and gave her the garment title. A while later, after she'd got off the subway, she messaged me with a link to a different company with the same jumpsuit, asking if this was the one I meant! And by sharing with her the ID with her, I managed to find the garment in my size, half price! And now, because they don't ship to the US, I ordered her one as well and I am shipping it to her.
It arrived on Saturday morning!
So, want to see my version?

As you can see, I decided to mimic her pose- well, I held my mouth rather than nose!
I don't have a red leather jacket, so I wore my trusty brown leather jacket that gets used for all the collared leather jacket cosplays.
With the jacket and jumpsuit, she wears her Alex Munroe bee and Daisy necklace

I don't have a bee and daisy necklace, more's the pity, because those are two of my favourite things but I DO own an Alex Munroe bee necklace, so I decided to wear that to make a nod to the original (I also have a daisy necklace but thought wearing both was overkill!
She seems to wear some brown boots- I thought they were red before but I guess I'm wrong- I could have worn alternative boots. Ah well!

So... want to see what the jumpsuit looks like on its own?
Here you go!
It's really comfy and floaty and would make a lovely, smart, practical outfit for picnics (think, not flashing knickers!)
What do you think?
