Romana's Tara Fashion Garments

A tailored grass skirt paired with a bright floral lei, the traditional Tara fashion Romana adopts before the mission. The skirt’s natural fibers hold the earthy scent of local craftsmanship, while the lei’s vivid blossoms contrast against her crisp white blouse—an intentional blend of courtly restraint and cultural immersion. She wears them with practiced ease, signaling both her respect for Tara’s customs and the Doctor’s dismissive need for distraction.
