How to get a costume commissioned for Dragon Con?

[tardisfan1971.livejournal.com]

I want to have a simple but great looking tardis dress made for Dragon*Con this year as a gift for my girlfriend. I am looking for someone who could do a commission for me. I don't want to spend a ton of money but I have $100 saved for it and could add a little more in needed. Does anyone have advice on how to get it made or someone they would recommend to me for making it?

I suggest looking in thrift and charity stores for a simple dress [in the right size and shades!] which can be customised. That's how I made mine.

I started with:-
1 black/blue cocktail type dress with a boned top

I bought some more TARDIS blue material [silk/satin] and went to work. I did the panels on the front with felt squares [no fraying edges!] This is the top half...
