TARDIS Tuesday- Petronella Osgood from The Zygon Inversion

Good Evening!
I hope you are well.  Today, for TARDIS Tuesday, I am sharing a character I've not cosplayed for TARDIS Tuesday before. Her name is Petronella Osgoood.  She appeared during the 11th and 12th Doctor's tenures and she worked for UNIT (United Nations Intelligence Taskforce), the group who investigated strange and extra-terrestial activity.  She was first introduced in the 50th anniversary episode, The Day of the Doctor and then returned in 3 more episodes, Death in Heaven, the Zygon Invasion and the Zygon Inversion.  In her first appearance, she represented the fans of Doctor Who as Osgood is a huge fan of all the doctors and her outfits are nods to the clothes worn by the Doctors, all of them.  She's donned the big stripy scarf, bowties, the question mark tanktop and the question mark lapels.

Today, I'm focusing on her outfit from The Zygon Inversion. She wears a beigey brown wool jumper with darker brown features, navy corduroy trousers, walking shoes and a white shirt with red question marks on the lapels.

I'm not quite sure why it has taken me so long to cosplay Osgood as I have had various parts of her costume by luck and chance so I should have given it a go.

And here I am.

I began with my Question mark shirt which the wonderful Ang Almond embroidered for me a good few years ago. I've had the shirt she embroidered since I was a teenager so it is more than 20 years old.  What prompted me to try this cosplay was the beige Merino wool jumper. I bought it a little while back, secondhand cheaply for a Clara cosplay but I got the colour wrong- I thought it was a grey jumper. It's a great quality jumper anyway so I knew I could make use of it.  In my memory, I knew that Osgood wore some grey corduroy trousers in one episode and I have charity-shopped Laura Ashley green Corduroy trousers. Alas, this episode features blue ones but never mind!

I WOULD have worn my walking shoes if they weren't still completely caked in mud from Saturday (see previous post entitled 'MUD- a poem!' for more information on that.

To finish off, I added this pair of tortoise-shell glasses I have. They just have plain glass in them but I bought them in Primark around 5 years ago as I love this type of glasses and always wanted a pair!

What do you think?
