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?

So you want a "great looking tardis dress" but you don't want to spend a lot of money? Why should anyone bother making you anything great-looking if you're not going to pay them for their efforts, especially this close to a major convention? You think you're entitled to get amazing art for free?

This is the kind of attitude that makes freelance and commission work so hard. Try to be a little more respectful of people who create things you love. They have to eat, too.
