praedestinatio!
Fab reference pic of The Rani (and the Seventh Doctor)
Blimey, it's vinyl. In fact, I think it's some short of short-nap velveteen with vinyl atop it. Um... how, er... how bloody hard to reproduce, actually, is the sentiment on my mind.
I bet my hairdresser could teach me how to updo my hair like that. Ozone layer? To hell with it... :)
Now, my mad costuming friends, consider the Rani's ensemble and project back about twenty years from that point. Got any suggestions? I can't get past the art-nouveau revival thing of the early/mid 1970s and, oh god, that's so not going to work. This backless dress was under consideration but I don't know if I can pull it off, nor am I sure if it's sufficiently Rani-ish. If you're wondering, the pattern's from 1969, btw.
The reference pic, btw, comes viahonorarydoctor, who has been posting some absolutely awesome costume analyses/how-tos/advice about the Doctor's costumes on ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
