Bad Wolf Closet

A look into the closets of the TARDIS Cosplay Advice, Breakdowns, New IDs and more

Hello! I had a question about Rose's firetrap jacket in doomsday. I found one on eBay that looks exactly the same, but the listing says it's the same jacket but not screen accurate. If it's the same jacket, would it not be screen accurate? Sorry to bug you, but I've never bought anything on eBay, and I'm a bit nervous so I want to be sure about it. Thank you for your help!

Hi,

I am so sorry, I don’t log onto Tumblr very often. If it says it isn’t SA, it may be a different brand, the same brand only a different color, the same brand and same color but a different style.

Can you do a breakdown of Clara's outfit in the mini episode "Clara and the TARDIS"?

Yes! I plan to breakdown everything from the new series, I have just been horrible about it!

Just a quick question. I've got the 2 separate rit dyes needed to match the TIP/SP jacket and went on their site for the mixture ratio to make the exact color, but the estimate they gave for scaling up based on garment size was a little confusing. I was wondering if you could tell me what the ratio used (dye/water amount) on the DIY pic you posted was. Thanks for the help.

I honestly have no idea. I would suggest reaching out to the people on my Facebook page “Rose Tyler Costuming and Collecting”. With Rose stuff as rare as it is, it’s kind of turned into a fun DIY community.

Hello! I'm planning on making a scratch built Rose Tyler's School Reunion jacket in the near future and I'm stumped about the screen accurate jacket's color. In one photo the jacket is a navy blue but in another it's more grey/dark blue. Since I was planning on dying fabric to make the jacket in the first place, I was wondering if you could suggest a Rit dye color for the jacket fabric like you did for other Rose Tyler jackets, shirts, ect. Thank you in advanced!

Hi!

The closest match I can find is the archive Rit color “country blue” https://www.ritstudio.com/color-library/color-archive/

Alright so this isn't a question but I just wanted to let you know how much I appreciate your site and the lengths you go to in order to get everything up. Thank you for what you do! (p.s. I'm a bit jealous of how many SA you manage to get when I have problems finding alts ;) )

Thanks!! I have been massively slacking on the new episodes!!

I was wondering if you have any info for me I'm trying to get the clothing for Rose Tyler's judgement day outfit along with the big gun ^_^ any info would be great! Thank You!

Hi!

Are you referring to The Stolen Earth/Journey Ends? The best alt I can recommend was made by Forever 21 a year or two ago. It is bluer than the SA version, but still the closest match out there. It is out of print, but keep an eye on ebay for blue forever 21 jacket. As for the gun, 3D printing is where its at! Look up THolmes print and design on Facebook. He is currently working on mine.

Hi there! Any thoughts on what would be a reasonable amount to pay for River's Zeeda dress or her Topshop vest from Big Bang? Or where I could find that info?

Hi! 

I sold mine for $350 about a year ago. I would say $350 - $400 is a reasonable price for that one.

So this summer I'm going to do a Clara Oswin Oswald cosplay with her outfit from Asylum of the Daleks. What would be a good hair color to dye my hair and what brand? Also if you know what color/brand works best with dark blonde hair that would be very helpful. Thank you so much!

Hi! 

I would find a good hair stylist and bring in different pictures that show Jenna in different lighting. If you want accuracy, boxed dyes just wont be good enough.

Hey I am searching everywhere for the Rose tyler Moto Demin Dress and I can't find it anywhere I just got out bid on ebay on the only one i could ever find (and actually cried pathetically maybe still am) How can I search for this fucking thing better? I am willing to pay quite a lot for it :/

There is no tip I can give you other than to keep searching. All of this stuff has been out of print for so long that its just plain hard! I’m sorry I can’t give you any better news and good luck!

Hello! I was wondering how much a color alternate of Rose's New Earth Diesel top should go for price wise, and I thought you'd be the best person to ask.

Hi!

So sorry, JUST saw this. It depends on the size. Small sizes don’t go for more than about $50, larger sizes will go for more because they are much rarer. It also depends on the color of the top as well. I use to have one that we called the ugly cowgirl. It was bright blue with orange plaid, I gave it to Oddtogs so she could make a pattern from it. I doubt I could have sold that thing for more than about $20!

So, the long grey coat Donna Noble wears in "Turn Left" - I found the Warehouse website, but they don't stock anything remotely similar to this coat. I wasn't expecting to actually find it there, being a few years old by now, but I was surprised not to find anything similar. Does anyone know EXACTLY what this coat was called by Warehouse so I can search for it? Typing "long grey coat" in eBay renders an awful lot of results. =)

Sadly, nothing at all from previous seasons is available for retail sale. Most things from current season sell out completely within minutes. The only chance you have to is search eBay on a daily basis and have a LOT of patience. I have been searching for some Rose items for 6 years now and its taken me 4 to find others. The only way to find things via eBay is to use vague search terms and look through all of the results. Think of it this way. If you have a T-shirt you want to sell and it has a bird on it and is from American Eagle. They typical person will list that as "American Eagle T-Shirt, Bird design" or something along those lines. It's very rare to have someone actually look for the old retail name of the thing they don't want anymore.  Another way to go is to go to thrift stores and try to find close matches. Or learn to sew/buddy up to someone that sews. There are also people like Oddtogs (check her out on Facebook) that make replica items. Sorry I don't have happy news for you but be patient, save a lot of money (things are rare, price goes high), look for alts, make your own and keep hunting!! Good luck =)

Hello! I love your blog!! I just wanted to let you know that in your breakdown of Amy's outfit from Curse of the Black Spot, you are correct in saying her boots are the Doc Marten Shearling ones, but then when you showed individual pictures of the items, you have the regular 1914 ones with the plaid inside pictured instead. I just don't want anyone to get confused! Thanks so much for organizing all these posts! It's really helpful! :)

Hi....it took me FOREVER to respond! Can you link me to the correct pic so I can get that fixed?

Hello! I am in need of some help! so I am making a tooth and claw outfit that rose wears and was looking at doctorwhodiy blog and saw that she found a shirt at target that was about the same as the one rose wears. I was going to ask doctorwhodiy when she got the shirt and the brand (I know it was from target) but she did not have an ask button so I click the more information and was wondering if you had any idea when that shirt came out or the brand thanks! If not that totally fine

Hi. That's also my blog. It was a while ago so I don't remember. It was in the workout section at target

[badwolfcloset]

Do you have any advice for The Moment outfit since the real pieces are sold out, not to mention way out of my price range. I would appreciate any advice. Thanks!

Go to my Facebook page Rose Tyler Costuming and Collecting. There are some alt ideas in the pictures/albums section

[badwolfcloset]

Have you done any breakdowns of River Song's outfits? Or Amy Pond? (I'm sorry if you have, I'm on my mobile and its hard to go through your entire blog). Thank you by the way for this blog, it's very helpful!

Yep, they are all there

I have a question regarding Rose Tyler in the day of the doctor, when she's bad wolf. Do you know of any place I could get colored contacts to match the "bad wolf" eye glow?

No. There are many Chinese contact places but I would not trust them. Eyes are very sensitive and you do not want to put cheap plastic in them. You could risk injury, allergic reaction or blindness. My eye doctor doesn't carry gold and I haven't found any that do.
