The Doctor’s newest companion, Clara Oswald (played by Gemma Coleman) has the cutest outfits. In one episode (7X13: The Name Of the Doctor) Clara was sporting the most wonderful blue tartan dress, you know, the type that makes your heart swell until you let out a mini-gasp. I was sat on the edge of the sofa trying to stop my eyeballs from consuming the TV whole, pondering whether this pain caused by this swelling was love or jealousy when my housemate came home.
What’s wrong, Corinne?’. I struggled to reply but eventually managed to overcome my stutter and explain like a real human (by this I mean: other than the flapping and squealing and pointing at the TV) why I appeared so distraught.
This is the dress Clara was wearing! I know what you’re thinking. Oh, Corinne, not ANOTHER TARTAN DRESS? Really?
As soon as locked my eyes on it, the skies opened wide like a tide and a beam of light fell onto the dress. Music started playing the whole world stopped and watched as picked up the dress in slow motion and held it in the air, then everyone cried and clapped and cheered and..
Ok, that didn’t happen. I did do a little dance though.I then did the whole ‘should I, shouldn’t I?’ internal debate, as I have two other tartan dresses in the same style but different colours. I asked many work colleagues and got the same answer – buy it buy it BUY ITTTT. So I did. And I’m really happy I did, it’s a lovely colour. At least I’m not sulking over my-lack-of-the-Clara-dress anymore and I can get on with my life which is always a plus.
The only problem is yesterday I saw the same tartan dress – but in black and white…
Do you love Clara Oswald’s Tartan Dress?
Hello from Spain: I identify with your words. When we see on television a dress we like what we want. Congratulations on having your dress. It’s beautiful. Your fabulous dress you are wearing. Keep in touch

I’m of the school of thought that a girl can never have too much tartan. 🙂 Looking lovely, babe!

I really love your analogy, metaphor and humour. I was laughing at loud at my screen when I read the part about the beam of light falling onto the dress and the whole portion after that. That’s so vivid! Well, congrats on snagging another tartan!
Haha, I’m glad you enjoyed it!
Haha its darling! Love the color (thought I’m sure the black and white one is adorable as well, I say stick with the blue 🙂

p.s. check out my nailcare giveaway!!!
The dress looks great on you, I’m not a big tartan fan normally but the muted tones do make this really versatile, I can see how it would be great with black tights in winter or without in summer.
That dress is stunning! You absolute beaut.

so cute! Glad you bought it..
It’s so important with this kinda dress that the cut is flattering, otherwise the deisgn tends to make you look old. In this case, well done! Very fresh and sophisticated!

I love it! I’m wearing a read plaid romper today – and I feel a bit like Clara 🙂
It’s…. Jenna Coleman…..
I agree, that was one I loved!!! You look so pretty in it, not surprised you went loopy for it!!!!x
I think I like your dress better than Clara’s, it looks comfier. I ordered my own tartan dress from Etsy today. I agree that Clara has a great sense of style, her and Amy have the best wardrobes I think !
Haha,I remember this post! Your posts suggested one of the tartan dress ones to look at and it led me here! I thought I’d let you know that I FINALLY HAVE CLARA’S REAL DRESS!!!! I’m so excited!!! I did a swap with another Cosplayer and I got one- it’s too big but I know it is adjustable! Am SOOOOO excited!
HAHAH I AM SO JEALOUS! I loved this dress but the zip jammed and I threw it away 🙁
