Plastidip an Matte spray combo works like a dream! Trying to decide if I should do all of the pieces before or after they’re titled together. Before would probably look better at the stitching, but after is the most durable. Hmmm...
The thinner one on the left has the clear plastidip and matte spray

do they bend/flex OK? Any risk of cracking?

Perfectly flexible. Plastidip is a spray rubber coating and frequently used for finishing armor. I wanted less flexible but not rigid. The foam will help with thickening for slightly less flexible. |

I got some medium brown leather paint and it’s really adding some great dimension and weathering effects on the cognac and dark brown colors

A little look at fabric bits so far. Skirt part will be higher when I can attach it. I’m dreaming the sleeves right now lol

The sewing is pushing it, especially using a machine. I'm an awful seamstress. I just want it to be adequate right now. I'm going to remake later the whole thing in leather instead of vinyl and (hopefully) with hopsack linen instead of Canvas, then enter it in the Costume Contest for Star Wars Celebration Anaheim 2020 if it's finished in time! Going to do that before I submit it as a Saber Guild upgrade to get around the "you can't use your costume for profit" rule  After the contest, I'll submit the upgrade. I'm going to also try to do some of the in-game headgear with electronics for the contest version. |

The sewing machine betrayed me yet again (I think I’ll name is Malak) so I handsewed most of the bodice part today

Betrayed, and yet you persevere. You truly are Revan
And Malak is an excellent name foe the machine that betrayed you
Excellent work, by the way

Haha, thanks. I got a lot done today in terms of the fabric pieces I'm nearly finished with the tunic. I'm super happy with how the Mandarin collar turned out, but I might shorten it ever so slightly because I have a relatively short neck. Tunic just needs Velcro, zippers, and maybe some tacking on a few of the skirt folds, then to have the skirt ironed, and to finish the seam cover for where the skirt meets the waist. I made the hood tonight too with Nimbranil's help!  All that's left is the two layers of the mantle, and the collar for the mantle itself (and to attach the hood to the mantle, of course! I'll take pics soon! my dress form now needs to "step in" which is kind of difficult XD |
