Hi all!

I have searched through the tags but I know I am missing a few things. I would love any info on what I am missing and any corrections on things I may have incorrect. (Only Screen Accurate please)

This is a nice start to a comprehensive River Song costume breakdown. I did have a couple of notes that might help.

Might want to specify that it is the "Sonic Blaster" (aka "squareness gun") from Silence in the Library/Forest of the Dead that is supposedly the same one that was used by Jack in Empty Child/Doctor Dances. It threw me off for a moment thinking you were referring to her usual Alpha Meson gun.

I'm pretty sure the All Saints Criollo Boots go with the Pandorica/Big Bang outfit as well.

For Time of Angels/Flesh and Stone, you could add in British Desert BDUs.

The belt should be spelled "Anina," and you can add that belt in with Good Man Goes to War/Let's Kill Hitler, as well.

Also, the "All Saints Gilet Vest" should be "All Saints Manu Gilet."

If you want props too, you could add the Fenix TK10 Flashlight to Pandorica/Big Bang and Impossible Astronaut/Day of the Moon. I'm not sure offhand whether she has it the other times she's wearing the Zeeda outfit.

Good luck with this.

Thanks! I will get all of this added.

Looks like River's blaster is getting a lot of mileage. In "Doctor Who: The Visual Dictionary", with a different paint job (and minus the ridge sight down the gun's back) it was also Novice Hame's gun. Prop redressing - you gotta love it!

It was also the gun (though black, I think) used to abduct Martha in Gridlock.

For The Pandorica Opens costume--she also wears UnderArmor gloves, teardrop pearl earrings, brown suede boots that come to the knee--very simple style, they were never identified, I don't think. Also a silver 5 " torch, and either the VM or a large watch on the left wrist. (Can you tell I've done this costume?) The pants are a medium to darkish chocolate brown--riding breeches work well--with two black stripes down the side. I don't believe they were identified either. There are a lot of places to buy breeches for not a lot--they start cheap and go up quite high--I went for cheap. You can also use yoga pants--Athleta carries a color called Falcon that is a good brown. Note: If you're putting the stripes on the pants, make sure you get stretchy ribbon--otherwise they pucker like crazy ( ... )
