June Hudson

Hudson, as she appeared in about 2008 in Lalla's Wardrobe, a documentary on BBC DVD: Warriors Gate

June Hudson was the credited costumer on several stories of the later Tom Baker era on Doctor Who. She was particularly closely associated with the costuming of the character of Romana — both in her first and second televised incarnations. She was responsible for both Mary Tamm's iconic and introductory all-white floor-length dress and many of Lalla Ward's eclectic outfits. She was so identified with Ward's ever-changing wardrobe that she was a featured interviewee of the documentary, Lalla's Wardrobe, on the Warrior's Gate DVD release.

She also had profound impact on the Fourth Doctor's look. She created his latter-day "plum" outfit and scarf, which was seen throughout Season 18. She was the first designer to employ the self-referential question mark on an item of the Doctor's clothing — though she did so very reluctantly, at the behest of then producer John Nathan-Turner.

Although she never designed anything for the Peter Davison era, specifically, her influence was directly felt until Time-Flight, thanks to her design for Tegan Jovanka's air hostess uniform.
