Old fashioned Victoria would never answer to Vicki, and futuristic Vicki would never answer to Victoria... Unless they both wore t... You would think that we'd see a lot of companions over the centuries harvesting the same duds from the TARDIS wardrobe?

Turlough in Ben's Sailor Uniform?

Captain Jack in Zoe Herriot's tight sparkle catsuit?

You get the point.

:)
 
The dress is remarkably well preserved for being 300-odd years old. :)

The Doctor says "Vicki" as if he's in a daze, then he says "Victoria used to wear it." So, I guess he's musing on Vicki for some reason, and then when he's locked in and focused he notices Sarah in the dress and points out it used to be Victoria's.

Victoria, "old fashioned"? She ditches her old-fashioned garb pretty much immediately and becomes a 1960ss mod girl when she joins the TARDIS crew (not like she had any other choice, the Doctor couldn't just leave her on Skaro), and people have pointed out over the years that when she departs it finally dawns on Jamie that he could have had her pretty much any time and he'd missed his chance.

(Personally, I think the TARDIS turns into a bacchanal once Zoe joins the crew.)

And, damn, I have always loved Lis Sladen in that dress, and I will always have a crush on her.
 
Because she atemporally archives rooms for companions that the Doctor hasn't met yet... Vicki might have worn a dress Victoria brought aboard herself from home.

How long had Victoria been living with the Daleks?

Did they make that outfit for Victoria?

That dress might be evil, but it is almost certainly bullet proof and resistant to... Oh. Garments made for Dalek Replicants may be armour, but attire made by Daleks for actual human slaves would be the opposite of armour.

It's a lens.

Clothing made by Daleks for humans magnify Dalek gunstick blasts.

Hell, if I was a Dalek designing uniforms for my slave workforce, my underwear would give everyone cancer, and worse, but slowly so that they give a couple years of labour, before they self exterminate to make the universe a little more serene.
 
There are a few that might look nice in Zoe's suit, but most are too large for it. Amy Pond was certainly way too tall for that outfit.
 
Queen Victoria said that Rose was NAKED.

Therefore Victoria Waterfield, a woman of similar times, also considered anyone wearing 20th century attire to also be NAKED... Especially herself.

Please consider that Victoria Waterfield did not suddenly adapt to the modern world, that she did not accept the mod style, utility and functionality of the miniskirt to be the new modest normal, please consider that if you ever thought that, that there is mush between your ears.

I think that Victoria was a pervert.

She knew she was NAKED and it felt sexy to exhibit and parade around her nearly stark nudity. This exhibitionist was in a constant state of titillation, because she was so darn naughty, such a naughty girl living out an impossible sex fantasy in the light of day, to bare everything in public and be admired, and no one was calling for the police!
 
Queen Victoria was an old biddy, all about decorum and appearance. Victoria Waterfield was a former Dalek prisoner, who was just happy to be free. Travelling in time broadens the mind.
 
Considering how much running the Doctor and his companions do, I think she adapted as well as could be expected. Can't run very well in a bodice and long ankle length dress that may or may not have hoops in it.
 
Is it possible that Victoria got along so well with the Daleks, that while wearing the bodice and hoop skirt, that the Daleks thought that she was a Dalek, and she got treated like one of the boys?
 
That was Evil of the Daleks it I recall correctly. A Second Doctor series. She wasn't so much with the Daleks as her house and father were being used by the Daleks for an experiment. The Doctor later used it to cause a civil war and he hoped ended the Daleks forever. Would have too if Terry Nation's bid to get an American show to use his Daleks have worked. This was originally suppose to be the last time the Daleks were going to be used on Doctor Who.
 
If so, that would have made Loony Tunes back in Action even cooler.

Warner Bros. thought the Daleks were out of copyright. Their legal dept. got a knock on the door after the movie was released.
