Hey everyone, I thought I would revive this thread to give updates to my costume.
From the original pictures posted here from Supanova Perth 2013, I have now made pants to match the outer tunic (as can be seen in photos floating around the forum in places), I have finished off the shoulders on the tunic properly and I have remade the tabard and obi and put in snap fasteners, buttons, elastic etc to make the whole lot easier to get on and off, as previously I had to safety pin myself into it each time. Since I'm now getting around with the Rebel Legion and I'm also looking at (hopefully soon) joining Rebel Empire who are a costuming and lightsaber choreography/ stage performance group I figured it was necessary lol! Now I'm not constantly adjusting my costume to make sure it is straight as it tends to stay put! I still have to figure out how to fasten the robe across the front without pins, this is something I am working on.
All that is left on this outfit (to complete this version before I make my RL one) is to put a cuff on the pants because they are too short and keep riding up trying to come out of the boots (as I ran out of fabric to make them that inch longer) and to get a proper belt and boots. I am eyeing off a particularly nice Corellian Imports prequel style belt with cream edging that will go lovely with this outfit, but it is a little on the pricey side. For now I shall just keep dreaming about that lol. Oh, and I might one day get around to finished the shoulder armour.
A note- while I'm joining in with the RL, this is NOT RL approved, I'm simply along as a new recruit.
Under the robe- most of this is hidden by the robe which is always on since it is an integral part of the costume, but I thought it was high time I remade the tabard and obi since my previous were from my very old cheap cheats outfit. It also acted as good practice for when I make my RL membership costume. When I do that, I'm going to make the tabard and obi less wide. These are the things you learn as you go!
Outfit with all the additions
Side view- yes, I'm laughing my head off as I had a particularly blonde moment and had to think twice about which direction was right when asked to turn right lol!
Annnndddddd just because I can and we all love photos (a few shots from the event RL and some other local costuming clubs attended). That's my AS shock staff with the two yellowish colour discs on it (I think it is a yellow and orange colour disc together? Either way, it produces a lovely shade of yellow but remains fairly bright). 5 hours of having it running relatively solidly and I went through two sets of batteries
Star Wars and Firefly- my two favourite universes
With a very impressive and very tall Bumblebee! He had trouble getting through doorways
With a fellow Jedi and a short Wookiee
And Deadpool and a Wookiee
