Romana II – Doctor Who (City of Death)

Made for: Timegate 2012

Background: I wanted to put together a Doctor Who costume to go with our K-9; I decided I liked this costume of Romana II’s best, and it seemed fairly easy, so I decided to put this together for Timegate.

Patterns Used:
Vintage gymslip/pinafore pattern on etsy.

Dress:

I started out by buying the pattern (downloadable!), and made the dress from that. I had enough material leftover from Lady Blackhawk that I didn’t have to buy any fabric for this project! I made a mock-up out of some random grey fabric first, then used that as pattern for my actual material, and then used the mock-up as lining.

Accessories:

I bought the shirt, tie, and shoes online. I had the worst time finding shoes. These I ended up with weren’t exactly what I wanted and were not at all comfortable. Boo! (They were like a half size too small.) The wig I got on ebay. I decided to not do the blazer just yet; I may add it later. (well I guess not now, since I sold it since I originally wrote this! LOL)

I bought the hat online, and made the hatband out of ribbons and glued it in place.

Sonic screwdriver was created by RussRep, I picked it up off the rpf run he did a run.

History:

I kinda moved on from this costume when I did my Romana I in 2013, so I never did the upgrades I wanted to – I ended up selling most of it in 2014.
