Sometimes I think Science Fashion Twitter is magic... Then something like this happens, and I know it is! In fact, today’s post is SFTM squared because it is both #WednesdayintheWild and #WCW (Women Crushing It) and brought to you LIVE AS IT HAPPENS! Watch this space for updates with more photos!

Sooooo way back in July, planetary science professor Dr. Sarah Hörst sent us a star signal on twitter, and I suggested contacting @shenovafashion for a custom design. It turns out Sarah wanted the dress for a plenary talk (read: big deal) at a meeting of the Division for Planetary Sciences (of the American Astronomical Society) and that talk is happening today!

Sarah chose a particular image of Titan from the Cassini mission because “it shows the detached haze layer and the HCN ice cloud in the polar vortex at the south pole really well.”

I am starting out this post with a couple photos already shared by Holly Renee of @shenovafashion & Sarah on twitter, and I’ll update it as she shares more with us!

FBF to the amazing dresses by Shenova (aka Holly Renee) on display at AAS229 last month. And a bonus Friday Feature for her dark matter BOSS dress worn by Vivica A. Fox in the upcoming film “Crossbreed.”

You can grab all of the above dresses for yourself here:

Four AAS229 vendors to go, and trust me, we’re finishing with a bang!

Every time the amazingly talented Holly of @shenovafashion​ releases a new design we get a flurry of submissions from people who somehow don’t know we’ve been posting her STEM-inspired dresses since way back, and even inspiring some of the designs! At least they think of us…!

Holly is always fashioning* the latest research results into stylish sheaths, most recently with the Gravitational Waves dress and the Dark Matter BOSS dress. Of course my favorite will always be the purple Jupiter, aka brown dwarf dress, even now that my own equatorial bulge is gone.
