Costume Bracket: Round 1, Post 33

Four more 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.




Selection of images of Martha's outfit from Utopia. A green hip length zipped jacket with black detailing along the seams.  Under it seems to be a short grey dress/tunic over a low-cut black top.  Black trousers and shoes.

Martha in Utopia Martha's predominant image is of her red leather jacket and I'd completely forgoteen this second look from Utopia. It's still centred around a jacket but is less immediately striking than the red one.


Selection of images of Leela's outfit from The Talons of Weng Chiang.  A victorian urchin outfit consisting of a brown leg-of-mutton sleeved jackete and breeches with red detailing.  A white shirt with a loose red tie and a beret set and an angle.

Leela in The Talons of Weng-Chiang This is the first period outfit Leela wears in The Talons of Weng-Chiang and presumably is supposed to represent a compromise between what the Doctor thought was appropriate Victorian wear and what Leela was actually prepared to put on. I am dubious, to be honest, that this is actually what the two of them would have come up with under the circumstances but it is a great look, showcasing Leela's individuality while vaguely fitting in to the time period.


Selection of images of Clara's outfit from The Bells of St. John.  A knee-length red dress - shorter at the front than at the back.  Black tights and ankle boots with buckles.  Over the top a parka-style jacket.

Clara in The Bells of St. John I'd not really noticed before the dress Clara is wearing under the jacket in The Bells of St. John. It's fairly typical of her but not, perhaps, her cutest outfit.


Selection of images of Sarah's outfit from Planet of the Spiders.  Wide white trousers.  A red and white striped top.  Over this a soft jacket in a similar red and white stripe.

Sarah in Planet of the Spiders As noted before, Sarah wore several outfits in Planet of the Spiders. This is her most casual of the three, I think. Obviously Sarah's most infamous outfit - the Andy Pandy one - also features red and white stripes but this version looks far more normal and, arguably, is a sane transition point between the sensible work clothing she is wearing in a lot of her early stories to the more eccentric choices she is making later on.
