I've started work on my Doctor Who 10 costume. I have decided to do the brown with blue pinstripe, mainly because that's the one we see most from series 2 through 5 (Matt's entrance) and it's my personal favorite of the two. I need to buy a new pair of unbleached white chuck taylors (the ones I have I use for work...and let's just say they aren't pretty). I'm also saving money for one of Indy's Christian LaCroix replicas (aww hell, might buy the Hechter and Armani ties also).
I don't have pictures yet, and this IS a WIP, so far all I've done so far is modify a Vogue pattern that I bought a few months ago. I plan on first doing a mockup for practice and then going to the fabric that I purchased through spoonflower (which by the way came out decent). It's my hope that in the future I can also build a blue suit too (hopefully by then I'll be able to afford Indy's fabric without having to save for it).
I'm also slowly paying for Rassilon's Tennant Sonic which I intend to make into a hero, I'll be posting my build progress once I have the sonic and electronics in the prop forum. I also plan on losing a LOT of weight for this costume (and for health concerns I have too...I'm beginning to wonder if I have heart problems, I'm 29, with a daughter, I want to live to see her wedding). And I've snagged a pair of glasses that I intend to make into a stunt pair (fake lenses).
I will be posting pictures as I take them, so keep on a lookout. I also have to thank Steven Ricks for his wonderful blog full of information on the suit, without it, this attempt wouldn't be possible!
As the title says, wish me luck on this!!! I'm going to need it, I'm excited and nervous at the same time. This is going to take a while to accomplish, so I'm going to make the best of my time and do it right.
EDIT: Before anyone says anything about not knowing measurements after losing weight. In 2006 I was 165lbs and I remember my measurements from then! So it shouldn't be hard to work with!
