Donna Noble – Doctor Who (Runaway Bride)

Made for: Dragoncon 2013

Background: This costume was on my list as a “maybe” depending on time/money for Dragoncon, until I finished Trillian so quickly and decided to go ahead and do this one too!

Journal Entries: Read more at my Donna Wedding Dresstag

Patterns Used:
McCalls M6030

Dress:
I started off with a pattern, altering the shape of the top and adding panels into the skirt to widen it; I made it out of basic white satin, with a chiffon overlay. Once I had the basic dress finished, I started beading!

Thanks to my husband being sick over a weekend and then me being sick and being off work for a few days, I got the beading done over the space of about a week.

Accessories:
I bought some shoes at Goodwill, and a veil and tiara at Michael’s. The tiara I added pearls to.

Petticoat:
I made a petticoat for the dress out of netting and cheap white satin; it also functions as a slip and is made specifically for this costume, so sadly I don’t think I’ll be able to use it with anything else.

History: LOOOVED this costume. Can’t wait to wear it again.
