TARDIS Tuesday - Jo Grant in Day of the Daleks

Hi there,
I hope you are well!  I thought I'd share a Classic Who cosplay today.
I attempted this one back in 2017 here and I thought it was due a return again!
Here's the outfit:

It was worn by 3rd Doctor, Jon Pertwee's companion, Jo Grant.  She wore a red and white checked shirt with a  denim pinafore dress over the top with red buttons.  She wears a red scarf tied at the neck and then white knee-high boots with red piping.

And here's my version:



Let's start with the shirt- I bought this from a charity shop back in 2016 and I really like it as it is soft and comfy- I wear it for hikes quite often.

The denim pinafore was a second hand purchase back in 2017.  I accessorized it with a red button brooch I have (that was also charity-shopped)


The red scarf was a purchase when I used to live in East London- I think I've had it about 12 years! I don't have white knee-high boots so I just wore some white knee-high socks I've had for a long time.




Last time I did this cosplay, I wore a different pair of socks and a different shirt but I think these two go better. Also, I couldn't find my red scarf last time so I wore a red lady-tie!  This version is definitely an improvement!

What do you think?

Hope you'd had a great day!

  1. I think this recreation is closer to the character than last time, although I do like the shirt you wore last time, it's not as alike as this one. It's a really cute outfit!

  2. I do like this cosplay look. Nice idea to wear white high socks as a way of recreating white boots. The red scarf is so cute. Great overalls and checkered shirt as well. You look nice!
