How to dress like Leela from Doctor Who.

ABOUT LEELA:

Leela (played by Louise Jameson) was a member of a primitive and warrior-like society known as the Sevateem, who existed in the future on a post-apocalyptic Earth. After initially mistaking The Fourth Doctor (Tom Baker) for a God, she joins him as his second primary companion during the 1977-1978 seasons. Coming from a civilization that has largely been reduced to a primitive state of existence, Leela brought a fresh and unique perspective to the diverse worlds and societies that The Doctor typically visits.

How To Dress Like Leela

1. VEST – This Renaissance-styled corset looks like it belongs to a prehistoric time and is the perfect starting point for this Leela cosplay.

2. THREAD – Use some red craft thread to sew the rough cross-stitch onto your corset just like Leela has.

3. SHEATH – Add one or two leather knife sheaths to your belt to show that you mean prehistoric business.

4. WRIST CUFF – Leela wears one leather wrist cuff here on her left arm.

5. NECKLACE – Next, you will need a simple bead necklace for that cavewoman chic.

6. BELT – This Medieval-style belt is another accessory that pairs with the rest of this outfit perfectly!

7. LOINCLOTH – Finally, if you don’t feel like making your own loincloth, this is a suitable and easy alternative.
