We are trying to recreate the iconic look of the 10th Doctor.
I have seen videos from Myfroggystuff, who gives plenty of tips to personalize and customize barbie dolls, and more. Go and see them!
you will need :
- fabric (I used some leftover I had from my cosplays)
- a Ken Friend Fashionista
doll. I chose this doll because 1/his glasses are very close to the ones the 10th Doctor wears. 2/his shoes are black Converse (just need to paint them) and 3/his hairstyle reminded me of the 10th Doctor in "The Idiot's Lantern" (one of my favorite episodes).
- acrylic paints
Start by adding some details to the face : sideburns and eyebrows.
Paint the shoes in red and white.
For the clothes, you have to make a T pattern, by measuring your doll and tracing a big "T" on a folded piece of fabric. for the front opening, sew a piece of fabric that will cover the front and the collar. Sew along the opening and around the neck line (leave around 1mm between the 2 lines). Cut between the lines and the hole of the neck. Dont forget to cut some slids around the curve of the collar and in the corners to ease the fabric tension. Fold this piece of fabric inside the mini-garment (you can use something to push the corners out, I used a pair of scissors). Make sure everything is flat (you can iron it). Sew the Tshape around and cut the extra fabric (once again, cut in the corners for the tension). Turn it inside out. For the collar, make a small rectangle that you will sew on the inside of the neck, right on the seam (to make the seam invisible).
It is the same idea for the trench coat, except it is longer in in a A line.
Add as much details as you want to make it more realistic.
Decorate the necktie (a simple ribbon tied around the neck) with a pattern made from markers.
Finally, use a small rivet to make a sonic screwdriver than you will glue inside the hand of the doll.
And… Allons-y!!!
