Martha Jones Cosplay

So in Jun. 2012 I cosplayed as Martha. It wasn't a total fail but it was pretty bad. So I fixed it and it looked alot better in Aug. 2012 when I went to DragonCon where oddly enough there were like practically no Martha's.
So i'm going to go step by step to show you what you need and where to get it.

So lets get started. Now eBay is a lovely thing, I don't know where I'd be without it. So before you spent a hundred dollars on a jacket check eBay.
Me in a Tardis at DragonCon and me with
my friend and this David Tennant we found.
The Jacket
Now I don't know a lot about my jacket but what I do no is that it is a SIENA size four. I love this jacket, it is a very nice, very soft red leather that is perfect. Now I got this jacket for $40 on eBay from the seller linda's stuff. If your very picking and can't cosplay without it being perfect than you should probably skip eBay and go strait to abbyshot. They have a perfect replica Martha jacket for only a $100, but the downside is that it only comes in XL and XXL. Here's the link http://abbyshot.com/doctor-who/martha-jones-companion-jacket/
Another jacket that I have found is only 8 dollars more. Its from Hello Cosplay and they will tailor make it just for you. Here's the link for that http://www.hellocosplay.com/red-leather-jacket-p-1985.html?zenid=lj900s5n7rf5bng6iiudn7unt2
Your last option of course is to make one your self but it may run you just as much as you buying it.

The Shirt
Martha has a really complex shirt that I have found nowhere else. But you have two options. One - Make it. The simple way would be to just draw it on or get a close iron on. Two (which is my way) By a plain pink shirt and go with it.


The Pants
Simple - jeans. You can also add a belt if you wish.

The Shoes
Now the shoes... so I think Martha is total kick ass so I went with combat boots but to be more accurate she wears thin black or dark brown high heels, but if you're not a heel person like me get yourself some black combat boots (again eBay). The closest boots I have found are Naturalizer Black Knee High Leather Boots Trinity. Just copy the name and put into google and find the best price. I suggest search eBay as well.

Accessories
Martha wears silver hoop earrings you could get cheap at Kohls. She also wears a heart necklace but when I cosplayed as her I out a key on a rope for the season 3 finale.
