I can't be the only DW cosplayer in the house, can I?

Sigh, I don't have a costume yet.0

I haven't managed to create a costume either :sad: Some day, when I have a few extra dollars and hours! :laugh:0

Here is my first DW cosplay, coincidentally the one that woke me up to just how fat I had gotten and kicked me started on losing weight. There are some really REALLY unflattering pictures of me in this costume, but here's one that doesn't make me look like a blimp. I cosplayed Molly O'Sullivan at Chicago TARDIS last November. Molly is an audio only companion of the 8th Doctor from Big Finish audio. She was one of the companions named by Eight in Night of the Doctor

I plan on having my seamstress take in the costume before next Chicago TARDIS, cuz I'm going to weigh 75 lbs less by then (if all stays on track).0 -
Last Halloween I was the tardis and the year before I was the doctor... That's the extent of my cosplay.0

And here is my cosplay in progress Bad Wolf Rose/the Moment from the 50th anniversary. I'm working on coloring and styling the wig. The new local DW convention is in a week and a half, so hopefully I'll get it done in time without destroying the poor wig.
And these are my convention ribbons, which I'll give out to those who say they like my costume

I don't have any DW cosplays made yet. Yet. I really want to make a Weeping Angel cosplay. And an 11th Doctor one too.0

Last Dragon*Con, I went one day as one of the Clockwork Courtiers from The Girl in the Fireplace (one of my favorites, plus I have a Carnivale mask from Italy to use). Not a lot of bearded men in the Whovian universe (but I may try for the War Doctor this Con).0

Weeping Angel costumes are awesome. Just make sure to use facepaint that doesn't rub off, otherwise you'll leave gray everywhere you go.
If you do an 11th Doctor, I suggest doing something with a little differentiation, because it's currently the most popular cosplay (perhaps tied with Castiel). Carrying a mop is a good way to stand out in the crowd

I have no costumes. I'm really looking forward to getting costumes, though. I was in bed talking with hubby about it last night. He added that I should get a French maid costume, but I think his mind was elsewhere. :laugh:0

Thanks for the tip! My daughter cosplays Homestuck trolls, so she knows quite a bit about the whole grey paint and setting it thing. I was actually going to get a grey morph suit and cut out the face part since I'll be wearing a mask over my face anyway.
I also want to do a stylized Dalek cosplay complete with plunger and whisk! 0 -
I have a few Cosplay people on my FL...I will need to give them a swift kick to get them over here. I myself am planning to do one...I just don't know when yet. I can't sew and so I will have to pay someone to make me a costume; plus lose a little more weight. Please, more people post pics and give tips.0

I love this stylized dalek from Chicago TARDIS last year

I don't sew either. I have a sewing machine, so I could theoretically learn, but instead I pay my seamstress to do it for me. Luckily she lives right across the street.
Previous, I had put together costumes that could come from thrift stores (Sherlock, angel from Supernatural), but I wanted a tailored one for my first dedicated DW convention last November, so I had the Molly O'Sullivan costume put together. I was measured at the beginning of October 2013, and then when I went in for my fitting at the end of October, I had gained weight so the costume didn't fit! Waaaaah! Luckily my seamstress could make it big enough to fit, but that, coupled with some horrid pictures at the convention convinced me to start to lose weight. For my Moment cosplay, I was trolling etsy and happened upon someone who was selling hers that just so happened to be the right size for me currently. I'll have to have my seamstress bring it in if I want to wear it in the fall, but for now it's all good
While you're losing weight, I'd look for costumes that you can make out of stuff from a thrift store - a brown pin striped suit with a tie you can get from etsy plus some converse and a sonic and you're the 10th doctor Leather jacket, green or purple shirt and a sonic and you're 9. Slap a fez and bowtie on and you're 11. Heck, actually the Moment is a costume that can be put together with stuff you find at thrift stores. The basics are a long-ish dress, a shorter lace dress and a vest. You distress it all (soak the lace dress in tea, attack everything with scissors), tear up some black tights, style your hair or a wig and voila, you're good.

I've hung out on the dw-cosplay livejournal for awhile now, just soaking in the info (i think you need a livejournal to see all the posts) - http://dw-cosplay.livejournal.com/0 -
I really need to lose more weight before I feel comfortable enough to cosplay. I am getting there though. There aren't a ton of female brunettes in new who and Clara isn't my favorite. I'll certainly be keeping my eyes open for what to cosplay in the Whoverse. However, one thing I KNOW I want to cosplay is Chell from Portal. I think it would be bada$$ to get nice defined arms and rock a Chell cosplay.

When I get to my goal my husband has promised to take me to my first comic con for a weekend (SQUEE!!) & I will be dressing up. Since i'm a natural redhead & really don't want to wear a wig i've decided i'm either going to wear the Kissogram outfit Amy wears (but with better shoes) or i'm going to find/have made a really good TARDIS dress :happy:0

Love it!!!! I was thinking about using some of my varying sized hula hoops and attaching them together with rope or silk or something, then adding cut in half tennis balls down over the hoops. Add in a plunger and whisk and black top and voila! LOL
I saw a great steampunk Tardis at Portcon last year. She really did a great job of it.0 -
Yay more (potential) cosplayers!
I'm working on my Moment wig for it's debut this weekend. I soaked it over the weekend and it's now almost dry. Have to color the roots, then do a bit of mussing and tie in some beads.0 -
Here's my Moment costume debut from today, doing double duty as a progress photo

That's awesome! You look great! (both the costume and the progress!)0

The groups have a bit more latitude, I think, that regular boards. I would ask the group moderators for their opinion. (I probably wouldn't object, depending on style and how revealing it is, but I can't speak for everyone.)0 -
I personally don't mind, but keep it tasteful. No thongs, no see-through, let's not do sexy poses... you know. If it shows what a regular bikini would show, I'd say you're fine.0

New weight loss milestone, new cosplay picture I passed 50 lbs lost this week and am enjoying my favorite convention. Here I face off against the infamous pink dalek, who is clearly better at posing than I am
For comparison, here was the same convention last year. I wasn't quite at my heaviest, but probably 40 lbs heavier than I am now

Two Halloweens ago my son went as the gasmask boy and I was the ninth Dr. The poor boy got tired of having to explain who/what he was dressed up as.0

We saw you!
I did a River Song costume from The Big Bang episode a few years ago, but I don't think it will fit this year for Dragon*Con.
I have an Osgood costume from the 50th that I LOVE because it is fun AND comfy. (my new criteria for costumes, comfy AND fun.)0 -

I'm working on a genderbent Four for my local Con in October. I knitted the scarf myself, modified a hat and Hubby found me Four's Sonic. I'll be sure to show off once I get it made.0

AWESOME!!!
I can't knit so I'm having my scarf made. I can crochet but it wouldn't look accurate. (Yeah...I'm one of those. lolol.)0
