11th Doctor Costume WIP

So... I actually had this mostly together for Halloween, but finally did some good pictures this weekend at Chattacon in TN.



I've always wanted to do a Doctor costume, but (especially with the new series) I really haven't had the right look to do any of them. I felt like I might actually have a shot at pulling of Mr. Smith.

The jacket was a lucky thrift find. It needs taken in a bit, but that's the next upgrade. The shirt I made using fabric I had printed at Spoonflower. There's a thread here: http://www.therpf.com/f24/doctor-who-11th-doctor-shirt-pattern-development-thread-87917/ RPF member Risu and I worked together on a better print, which he then abandoned, went detail crazy, and came up with one that is pretty much dead on. Yes, you can buy the fabric. There should be some details in that thread. My current pattern has the general look, but I have a bolt of the new Risu fabric waiting for my scissors. My stunt pants are actually a heavily altered pair of Express herringbone slacks, and will likely stay as is until I find the absolute perfect replacement as I feel they have the right look as is. Shoes are actually Just ropers. The Kilty style.

Of course I couldn't just leave it there. I had to accessorize, so enter my favorite prop. What's the Doctor without a companion? Details about the vest build forthcoming, but for now enjoy the pics with the pretty girl in them.





And just for fun. You never know when you'll run into Carl, SciFi janitor (I think Bob was passed out drunk somewhere)

Re: 11th Doctor fun

Looking good! Nice work on the shirt.

Thanks! Can't wait to get started on the new Risu print. Now if work would just slow down enough for me to worry about my own projects.

I have all my pieces cut ready to get sewn - looking forward to getting started on that!

Wicked work Darth.
Any update on this yet?

Not yet. Going to try to knock out some upgrades between now and my next con. Jacket's pinned on a mannequin, ready for alts. Just picked up some pouches for the Pond upgrades. On the lookout for some boots now.

Been awhile since I posted any updates to this. I've been staying busy with work and am just now getting back to my own projects. Thought I'd share the beginnings of my latest.

Here's a little teaser of what's to come:

Ooohhhhh, Looking good! What's with the piece of string coming from the chest pocket though?

I have no idea.

There's thread everywhere in my shop though. It's like sand. It gets in everything...

Coming together... Slowly. I've been bouncing between this and reorganizing my costume storage at work. Also might be just a bit nervous about getting everything just right as this is the stuff Ricks found in the UK. Pricey.

Looks splendid! I do hope it turns out wonderful.

Any updates?

Any leads on a good match or an ID of the fabric used on his 7B vest?
