Description I made this YEARS ago but never got around to posting it. I was at one point going to post a "what if" Series 23B which gives a more dignified outing for Colin Baker's 6th Doctor, but never got any further than the costume redesign and as I no longer make micros in the original style, it's a bit futile me going back and continuing with this project (plus I've forgotten a lot of what was going to happen, I was going to do Cybermen but other than that...). This was basically a what I would do if I was in charge of Doctor Who at the time, with the foresight of what came in the future

Basically I kept the mixed colours of the original outfit but muted them down heavily. To give a more cosmic hobo, bohemian look which also matched Colin Baker's darker personality. I dulled down the yellow trousers to a beige and replaces the red and green spat shoes with ordinary brown shoes for example, and kept down the asymmetrical nature of the coat. I did three waistcoat a cravat variations, to match the previous variations and to keep things fresh; the dark brown is supposed to be the equivalent of the red cravat, the black for the blue, and the dark mustard for the bright yellow, as well as some more standard waistcoat patterns, colours and fabrics. This look overall lends itself to a more gentile look too, as the template of the actual original costume was fairly in keeping with an Edwardian style. Oh and I also got rid of the question mark collars.

I never thought of this, but I guess I could do. I mostly did this for Colin (and Whittaker) as their costumes were brighter and more controversial, and hence screamed out a greater urgency for redesign. I could do with remaking the standard Doctor costumes first though, only got 12 and 13 on my modern templates. I guess I could do a "what if" that shows what each Doctor might have dressed like if they stayed on for one more season. Capaldi and McCoy would be the most notable ones for this, although McCoy's hypothetical season 27 costume is fairly well known and established, whilst Capaldi's giant wardrobe would have been more fun speculation.
