Eleventh Doctor costumes are pretty hit-and-miss for me, but I’m particularly fond of costume designer Howard Burden’s work toward the end of Matt Smith’s era – specifically, the “Snowmen” costume and subsequent “7b” costumes.
We’ll be taking a look at all three of Eleven’s “7b” waistcoats, as well as his “Snowmen” costume ensemble, here on the blog.
In this analysis, we’ll examine his “scales” waistcoat and discuss some of the specific elements of its design, as well as how it varied over its appearances.
Did you know that this waistcoat actually had two different kinds of buttons, or that it had a disappearing fourth pocket?
This updated analysis is also available as a free PDF download.
I hope you enjoy the read!
More updated sewing/costuming resources are coming soon. I suggest subscribing to my “Costume Guide” e-mail newsletter (if you haven’t already) for updates.
And if you enjoy this kind of thing, please support my costume research on Ko-Fi. 🙂
