The jacket is by Oasis, it's not the exact model that Rose wears in Series 4 Doctor Who, but it is the same brand, and it's pretty darn close.

Jason was sweet enough to grab some quick shots of me at Dragoncon this year inbetween us all running around. (THANKS, MAN!) The funny thing is,... you can't get shots in this tunnel in the middle of the day without a ton of people in the shot... but that's just fine for universe-hopping Rose Tyler, isn't it?
I know I'm a huge dork, but I really want to do more Doctor Who photoshoots. It's kinda silly, maybe, since I don't really work that hard on the costumes, ie, that I don't spend months sewing them... but I love Doctor Who!

WELL. IT'S THAT TIME AGAIN. I know I'm not going to have time to complete any more costumes this year,... so here's the Year End Review.
Le Chevalier D'eon,Blade of the Immortal, Gurren Lagann, Firefly
Princess Aurora from Sleeping Beauty, Disco Doctor Who, Bosozoku Aimee and Circus, Wolverine
Black Butler Sebastian and Circus vr, Rose Doomsday and Updated 10th Doctor, Rose Stolen Earth, Kitsune.
--------------
STUFF I DID
- overall I had a lot of fun this year even though I didn't do a ton of complex costumes. I think perhaps the highlights for me was Costume College with Judy (pretending to be fancy 18th century ladies), dressing up in Sleeping Beauty and going to the Atlanta Aquarium, seeing how happy Mitch was in his Kamina costume, and scaring the minds of Doctor Who fans everywhere with a sequin-covered TARDIS that dances.
- Used a crapload of rhinestones to make my first fancy Disney Princess Dress.
- made a bright purple jumpsuit O_O
- put my husband in a confetti dot see-through shirt and convinced my coworker to moonwalk as a TARDIS
- didn't compete at all this year and only performed in one masquerade as a lark.
- went to Costume College for the first time in a long time, really enjoyed it. Decided I wanted to do more historical
- finally wore my bosozoku unicorn wig.
STUFF I DIDN'T DO:
- didn't do ANYTHING for Halloween.
- really really meant to do my ELF costumes this year. Bought all the stuff, did the muslin, made the hat. Didn't finish.
- did a TON OF WORK on my Vampire Hunter D costume that I'm really proud of. I learned a lot. But got overbusy and put it off. This year, for sure. I don't actually have that much left to do on it.
- meant to make my Doctor Who Madame de Pompadour costume for Dragoncon, but there was just -no way-. I'll have it done by Gallifrey.
- meant to drape my own Robe a la francaise pattern... but I need someone to partner with, so I haven't done it yet.
- meant to make Mitch a Prince Philip costume and/or Phantom of the Opera.
- really want to get more photoshoots with Doctor Who, Sleeping Beauty and Chevalier.
- lots of other stuff. :P
