Cool. You going to give her a yellow colored staff saber?
Nah, I'm going red. Full darkside, baby! The yellow one in my wishlist is from when I was still thinking of cosplaying regular Bastila, it's out of date. In fact, there are even more on my wishlist I still need to add!
Hi BlingedJedi,
I have just compared your picture with other Bastila Shan pics online and the likeness is going to be great (the way the hairstyle frames your face looks very similar) Regarding the crystals, you could attach one as a stud or button in the centre of each panel of the leather tabbards (in your picture there appears to be pins stuck in the places I mean). I will be interested to see the finished costume.
The designs on her tabards are even more complicated that what I sletched out, plenty of room to work in crsytals. I'm thinking of keeping it more subtle (me? sublet?) and sticking with black jet ones.
I'm also pondering what to do for the bodysuit. Option 1: make it from scratch...but I hate sewing stretchy stuff, and my machine handles it badly. Options 2: buy it, but I haven't yet found one in a shade of red I like. Option 3: dye one. I've found some with a high enough cotton content to take regular Rit dye...but I hate dying things.
