June Hudson was the credited costumer on several stories of the later Tom Baker era of Doctor Who. She was particularly closely associated with the costuming of the character of Romana in her first and second televised incarnations. She was responsible for 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 Warriors' 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.
