Dr Horrible Wears a Vietnamese Ao Dai Jacket
For those of you trying to figure out what it is that Dr Horrible is Wearing, it's a Vietnamese Ao Dai.
I completely randomly figured it out when I was thumbing through my copy of How To Draw Manga, Bshoujo Around The World and landed on page 48, where there, smack in front, of me was Dr Horrible's Jacket.
You can get the pattern here: http://www.folkwear.com/asian.html

Dr. Horrible's Lab Coat
Actually, Dr. Horrible wears a Howie style lab coat which isn't familiar to us in the states, but is available several places in Britain.

Yeah, I've seen people post that. I still think it looks more like a heavy Ao Dai than a Howie style lab coat.

Dr Horrible Coat pattern
This pattern is much closer than many that I have seen. Modifications would still have to be made to bring the shoulder button flap up to the shoulder seam (from the neck to the apex of the shoulder). However, I came across an additional resource whilst searching for a good pattern for my own coat. I produced a red one (E.L.E edition) and it was a hit at DragonCon '09. Here's the link.

It has directions for the modification of the Neo Coat pattern, and recommends that you cut some off of the bottom to bring the hem up to near the knees (as this is much nearer to where NPH wears it in the show). Also, if anyone needs additional references, check the Firefly episode Ariel. Same coat was used. Hey, Dr Horrible was done on a budget and they needed to scrounge. BTW, the red one was made by dying one of the white ones a somewhat muted red. You can tell, because the buttons and stitching are still white.
Umm. . . the shoulder flap
Umm. . . the shoulder flap is already at the shoulder seam in the Ao Dai. . .

This kind of style is much closer to that what I have seen.I think some modification needed more.I came across an additional resource whilst searching for a good pattern for my own coat.The first in what I hope is a weekly Dr. Horrible centric podcast. I talk about Comic-con, the Penny Poll, fans singing along to Dr Horrible, and the possibility of Act IV.

Ao Dai pants are typically white; the Tunic can be plain white, a plain or patterned color, or the traditional red and gold for a wedding garment.
