Romana's Scarf - SILK!

Recently, while searching for information about Lalla's "Creatue from the Pit" costume, I came across an article on JSTOR, entitled Dress and the Fabric of the Television Series: The Costume Designer as Author in "Dr. Who" by Piers D. G. Britton. It discusses, quite in-depth, Doctor Who costumes done by June Hudson, and more specifically Lalla's costumes.

In this article, the author states: "Wit was very much to the fore: one outfit, for example, was a pastel-shaded send-up of the famous costume which Tom Baker wore as the Doctor, complete with trailing silk scarf."

So, Romana's scarf as worn in Destiny of the Daleks is, in fact, silk.

Studying pictures once again, I am led to believe that it is a solid bit of yardage of silk, in that it does seem rather wide. As you can see below, it pools next to her.



For the fringe, I am led to believe it is an added piece of long white fringe trim, as you can see a line near where it starts and the scarf begins. Also from the picture, it is evident that there is A LOT of fringe, which means that the scarf must be quite wide to warrant there being so much of it.



Since finding out this information, I have found a solid piece of off-white silk and fringe trim I believe will be as close to SA as can be.
