purplecat: The Tardis against a sunset (or possibly sunrise) (Doctor Who)
[personal profile] purplecat
Two Doctor Who companion outfits for your delectation and delight! Outfits selected by a mixture of ones I, personally, like; lists on the internet; and a certain random element.


This is where it starts to get really difficult - two iconic costumes against each other!

Selection of images of Nyssa's outfit from The Keeper of Traken.  A red velvet top with puffed sleevse and a patchwork look.  A fairy skirt consisting of layers of netting in first green then purple petal shapes, with a red satin top layer.  Purple tights and heeled shooes.  A golden filigree hair piece.



Selection of images of Romana's outfit from Destiny of the Daleks.  It is a pink version of the Doctor's clothes.  A pink coat with dart pink detailing around lapels, cuffs and pockets.  A long white scarf.  Brown knee-lenght boots folded down at the top with pink trousers tucked in.  A white shirt.

I'm not very fond of the colour of that Romana outfit - such an insipid pink - but I definitely dislike it less than I do Nyssa's silly skirt.

I was traumatised throughout first (as broadcast) watch of that Romana outfit. Did not cope with the regeneration well! But I do like the outfit more than Nyssa’s, so it gets my vote.

I remember liking the costume by the end, and begrudgingly liking Romana II. But still mourning badly for Romana I. This was my first experience of regeneration. The next one was easier TBH!

I voted for Nyssa, but am not too surprised (or too disappointed) that Romana has a strong lead.

I like Romana's, but Nyssa's is more inventive so I'm voting for the flower fairy look.

I do love Nyssa's costume, but I think that Romana's is both visually interesting on its own, and wonderful in dialogue with Baker's Doctor.
