This week’s app of the week is a little different than those usually offered up by GeekWire hosts Todd Bishop and John Cook.
It’s called Toca Tailor Fairy Tales and it’s basically a digital dress up doll in an app.
Todd says it was recommended by female member of the GeekWire staff, Emily Shahan.
“It’s totally girly and I liked it for that fact,” said Bishop. “We always have these kind of dude apps on this show.”
Bishop says the app features dolls that you can dress up in clothes that you create by taking pictures of different fabric and textures.
“In other words if you want to create a dress for the animated doll onscreen you can go over to a material in your house,” says Bishop, “anything you want, your suitcase, your shirt.”
The material from the picture is then featured on the dolls clothing items.
The app description says you can add hats and accessories, and once your doll is finished you can take a picture of her in front of whatever background you capture in your camera.
The app is free, but Bishop says there are also premium versions available.
