I want to be Time Lord now; specifically the ceremonial-outfitted ones. If there were a contest to see who’s got the best ceremonial robes, the Time Lords of Gallifrey would definitely make top five.
Decision switch prompted by upsides of cosplaying TLoG and downsides of Plugsuit:
D: for Plugsuit
- Formfitting. Increased difficulty in crafting; possibility of decreased comfortability in own skin.
- Armor-bits. And how the heck would these be attached?
for TLoG
- A lot more emotion attached to the series.
- Costume has a high prossibility of billow-factor, which makes it immediately cool. (This is very important, in all seriousness. To me, at least.)
- I can pull off majestic, I think/hope. Thus, ego boost, reason for evil-laugh, etc.
Before you comment, realize that:
- Yes, I am aware that I am going to an anime convention. I’m sure that Wolverine and Jesus!Raptor were aware as well.
- Doctor Who is awesome, and classic. Longer running that maybe ANYTHING else in existence. Even the nearly-two-decade span of time where the show was in hiatus still heralded the production of audio, comic books, movies, etc. So, counting that space, Doctor Who has been around nearly 47 years. That’s even older than David Tennant has been alive. Thus, it makes sense that people would have heard of it, and things from it have a statistically high chance of being recognized.
So much more fabric! And a very strange neck piece, and very little reference photos, all from different periods of time(I mean decades)! Can’t wait to get started~

I’m happy as long as you cosplay, you know. Oh, I just looked the costume up on google, those collars are pretty… er. BIG!

Awesome~ The plugsuit might be just a bit too difficult to make by hand, being entirely formfitting.
I think your only options would be to add parts to a red zentai (nearly impossible, being nylon), or buy a pre-made one from ebay (Best I could find was from this seller http://tinyurl.com/ylro8sp).
Some reference and help I came across for the collars (though you’ve probably already seen it ><).
