TARDIS Tuesday Twist- Romana from the Leisure Hive

Hi there! 

I missed TARDIS Tuesday for a few weeks so I am back! I decided, this week, to do use the outfit as more of a general style inspiration rather than try to create more of a match.

I last used this look as my inspiration in April 2021 and it is one of my absolute favourite looks worn by any Doctor Who companion- if you look at the sailor and nautical labels tag in my sidebar, I LOVE a sailor look!

It was a vintage Sailor look worn by 4th Doctor companion and Time Lady, Romana.

I was packing for my holiday and I realised I had worn a similarish Romana look when we did our Treasure island performance and found it ridiculously comfortable, so I decided to pack it for my trip!

Here you can see what I put together.

I started with this Primark sailor dress that I picked up in a charity shop in 2012 around Last seen on the blog in 2014.

To make the red tie, I added a red ribbon which came from the waist tie from another dress and tucked it through the tie of the dress.

The hat came from a charity shop around about 15 years ago and it straw with raw silk edging and hat tie.

The bottoms are actually some pyjama bottoms I bought from M&S (which I did actually buy for the original cosplay!) - yes, I wore pyjama bottoms in public.  Do I care? Not really- they work as trousers!

To complete the look, I added a pair of Tom shoes- not the ones I wore last time (which are more red) because that involved ratching around in a cupboard!

I loved wearing this outfit and it worked for a day at home with gardening!
