Tardis cosplay (vest)

So two day ago, I had a showing of Doctor Who 50th anniversary to go to and I wanted to cosplay as a TARDIS. I ran all over town to countless Good Wills and Salvation Armies trying to find something TARDIS blue that I could work with. I didn't want to start from scratch because I didn't have much time and I'm not that skilled. Therefore, I was trying to ind a shirt, sweater, scarf, ANYTHING that was TARDIS blue, The best thing I found was nurses' scrubs. I found TARDIS blue nurses' scrubs. I don't have a picture of what it started out as, but this is basically it.

So first, I stared off with separating the collar from itself. On side came out nice and pretty but the other side I had to eventually sew back together. So I tore through all of the stitches and did that. Then, I had to take the sleeves off. I took me a good hour and a half to get all of the stitching out. I'd say it was another half hour to form new hems for the sleeves. I was panicking at this point, because I had about an hour left. Then, I cut own the middle of the scrubs and formed a hem there. I didn't have the time or skill to put the buttons on soI just left it unbuttoned. I had about half an hour left at this point, and started putting electrical tape on (I was going to use fabric but I didn't have it or the time.) I made a rectangle of white electrical tape on the right side and then wrote the stuff on it with sharpie. I know, it sounds bad, but it was actually really cool. People fangirled as I walked by. I then had a black dress shirt to go underneath it and a blue scarf. Completed it with Union Jack sunglasses, red converse, a sonic screwdriver, and I had a hat like this.

All in al, it actually looked really cool. My hair is short like David's and my friend like to play with it so by the end of the night, I had become a David Tennant-TARDIS mash-up. It was AWESOME!!!!!

I will put up the full picture later when I have them all on the computer and everything.
