If you’ve been following the arrival of the fabrics for my Six Frock Coat, you’ll know I’m getting closer than ever.
So if I show you this photo - it can only mean one thing . . .

Oh, the suspense!
ReplyDeleteHi
ReplyDeleteI'm in the process of putting together a 50th anniversary Doctor outfit, combining articles from every Doctor. It's going pretty well but I have hit a problem: every Doctor's coat is a signature item and dominates the costume. E.g. If I have Peter Davison's coat, I look like a 5th Doctor cosplayer with Who accessories ;)
My solution is to make a coat which combines the necessary elements.
I have a 3/4 length tuxedo coat I was using as a 1st Doctor coat.
My intention is to use that as a base and then add elements of other Doctor's. For example, I'd like to add beige fabric to the lapels and cuffs (with red piping :)).
I'm just wondering if this would work or look silly? Adding to the lapels / cuffs is one thing, adding to other areas seems more difficult.
Part of me wonders if I should just commission a coat of unique design.
Any advice? You can e-mail me at dth@oroborus.biz
Thanks
Dorian
Time to put it all together!
