So, I'd been working on this for Gallifrey One:

Yes, 18th Century 5th Doctor.  It was epic.  Mostly because that wig is hilarious!  And huge!

I did not do the fan - that I borrowed from the lovely Artemisia Moltabocca over at Diary of a Renaissance Seamstress.  The shoes are American Duchess.  The print for the skirt I got from warmcanofcoke's design over at Spoonflower (it's the slightly larger print, and it came out lighter in real life than it looked on my screen).  The Pet en l'air is made of a combination of silk dupioni and polyester taffeta. After searching and sampling/swatching for weeks online, I finally hit upon the right color/fabric combo in a bricks and mortar store and bought everything they had in the silk, but it just wasn't enough.  So, back to the store to find a substitute fill in fabric.  I kind of wish I'd seen the polyester first, because it was much cheaper and spot on the same color.  But it's unlikely I would have bought it, given the fabric snob I have become.  Even for a Doctor Who costume.

I need to get over that. :)

I also made this Mels Pond outfit:

Given that I am a bigger gal, I ended up painting the fabric myself and making a version of the Sparkle and Fade dress that I thought would be flattering to my body type.  I did not think I was going to end up making a baby doll style, but it came out kind of like that.  The British Camo River in the pic is the lovely Laura from Rocking the Frock who sold me the leather jacket that I cut the sleeves off of for Mels' leather vest.  The only regret I have is that I didn't have time to braid my hair.  And of course, today, most of a week later, I've thought of how I could have quickly braided my hair to give me the look, but in a much shorter time.  Ah, well.  Live and learn.  Perhaps if I ever wear the outfit again, I can give it a go.

Also, my legs look fabulous.  Almost too skinny in proportion to the rest of my bod. 

And just in case you are wondering, the line up is: Birthday River from A Good Man Goes to War (the fabulous Lis from Dragonfly Designs by Alisa), 18th Century version of River from The Time of Angels (the aforementioned Artemisia), Amy Pond, Mels Pond and British Camo River of Flesh and Stone.  We just needed a Rory to make our lives complete.

Don't we all need a Rory to make our lives complete??
