Worn for: DragonCon 2011, DragonCon 2015, Halloween 2015 Why I chose to be the Tenth Doctor
While I really wanted his blue suit to be my first cosplay of him, after seeing someone online do the Christmas Invasion jim-jams, I realized it was a better first Tenth Doctor cosplay. Not many people do it, and it's rediculously comfy. Construction notes
This costume has gone a number of changes without being retired. Originally I dyed a wig a friend gave me and I asked another friend to cut. Then Arda Wigs came out with their Rufio in brown. A perfect wig for the Tenth Doctor. The first time I wore it to DragonCon, I kept getting called "Arthur" out on the floor. My biggest issue with that was that I didn't have a towel! How could I be Arthur Dent without a towel of any kind?! I ended up carrying my sonic screwdriver the rest of the time and I didn't get called Arthur anymore. I decided to whip up the scarf he wears while he's going through his wardrobe to distinguish the two characters. That led to me actually being called "Doctor"! The final change is upcoming. The current pyjamas are made of striped fabric I got at Jo-Ann's. Some amazing person has recreated the fabric on Spoonflower. I'm hoping to get it and have new jim-jams made eventually. |
