So here it is - my completed 4th Doctor outfit. I chose the burgundy velvet coat from Seasons 13 and 14, because I can wear it on other occassions, too, not only dressed up as the Doctor
I chose a very good cotton velvet with a thick pile, which is wonderful to touch and look at - but horrible to sew *hmpf* - I love making coats and jackets, although it always is a lot of work, but this time it was no fun at all and I do not want to make a coat from velvet again for quite some time ...

Apart from that, it was a lot of fun, I don't do cosplay, normally, but I decided it could be fun to give it a try, since I like the 4th Doctor quite a lot, and another four friends dressed as some of the other classic Doctors, including 3rd, 6th, 8th and 7th, for who I made the question mark jumper.

I made all of the garments myself, from made-to-measure patterns that I drafted as well.

The shirt is white cotton fabric with mother-of-pearl buttons, red silk tie and the plaid waistcoat, made from wool fabric. The trousers are made from grey cotton fabric - I think I will replace it with one made from Tweed, as soon as I can find something that matches the original one.

The hat is purchased, of course - and for the first time, I wore a wig, I already decided to just leave it, but on the other hand it looks a lot better. I know the colour isn't right, I couldn't find a better one so far.

The picture was made at Leipzig Book Faire. As soon as I have the permission, I'll upload a picture with all of us, too, in the meantime, and since the owner of that tumblr (our 7th Doctor) already uploaded it, you can see all of us in motion here:

BTW, working on a S18 scarf at the moment aaaaand I just can't stop thinking about the 11th Doctor purple outfit ... so maybe this wasn't the last try with some kind of cosplay ... *cough*
