You may be looking for the production team title of "Costume Designer", in the sense used since the Paul McGann tele-film.

People credited with the title "Costumes" during the 1963 version of Doctor Who designed (and sometimes made) costumes. They were not under the control of the Doctor Who production office, but instead ultimately reported to the costume department of the British Broadcasting Corporation itself. They were assigned to individual serials, though producers and directors could request the costume department to provide the services of certain designers. Unlike the situation that obtained at BBC Wales, these BBC costumers had less interaction with designers from other departments.

The more rigid division between the costume, set, and visaul effects designers, however, sometimes meant that BBC costume designers were key to the creation of some of the series' most memorable monsters. If a species were to be realised principally through costumes, then that department's designers were central to the creative process. For example, Cybermen were essentially the creation of costumer Sandra Reid, who was as important to achivieving the look of the Cybermen as Raymond Cusick was to that of the Daleks.

Discussion of the demarcation between the various designers on the "classic" era of Doctor Who was perhaps highlighted best on the DVD release of The Web Planet, a story with multiple alien species. Each of these species — Zarbi, Menoptera and Optera — were designed by different departments, and the DVD explains well why the costume department was more important to the Menoptera than the other two.
