Costume Bracket: Round 1, Post 54

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 Rose's outfit from New Earth. Black trousers with a pink and purple short-sleeved top with an asymetric design.  Over this a blue zip up jacket with a slightly rouched look.

Rose in New Earth I really like this pink top, but I'm less certain about the blue jacket that goes with it.


Selection of images of Barbara's outfit from The Aztecs.  A long straight cut dress with a feather poncho.  Over this is a feathered full lenght cloak.  She is wearing an elaborate headdress with a sunflower like design in feathers at the back.  All is in yellows and oranges.

Barbara in The Aztecs This is another early historical where a lot of attention was paid to costume and set design. In this case Barbara's outfit as the reincarnation of the high priest Yetaxa.


Selection of images of Rose's outfit from The Unquiet Dead. A victorian bustled skirt in red satin wiht a black off-the-shoulder bodice.  There is black lace at the bottom of the skirt and around the top of the bodice.  She has lace up boots and a red flower in her hair.  Outdoors she has a black cape.

Rose in The Unquiet Dead I assume this outfit is historically accurate - because BBC - though it's always possible the costume designers were aiming more for what Rose might think Victorian dress looks like. Whatever the case, it's not what I would have chosen for Cardiff in December.


Selection of images of Romana's outfit from The Ribos operation.  A long white goan gathered into pleats at the front.  Wide sleeves that reach almost to the ground.  A headress made from a string of pearls and a floor length white fur coat.

Romana in The Ribos Operation Romana starts as she means to go on in a stunning flowing robe. I don't think she ever wore anything quite as impractical again, but this look defined her.
