Title: Re: My costume (90 percent done) Post by: Big Boss on January 24, 2013, 01:22:00 AM I fixed your pictures for you. When posting pictures from phototbucket just copy the IMG code from each picture on the side and past it in your post.
Good for a starting costume, but the colors aren't very sith like in my opinion. More of a jedi costume even with a mask. Also your tabbards should be longer. Title: Re: My costume (90 percent done) Post by: dhenwood on January 24, 2013, 03:03:56 AM yes, i didnt make it myself and i am disappointed with the length of the tabards, when not crossed at the front they do cover more of my back so thats what il have to do. (in fairness they were included for free when i requested them with the shirt.
i think i will dye the shirt. probably dark red that should give it the sith look. thanks for fixing the photos :) Title: Re: My costume (90 percent done) Post by: Pactor94 on January 24, 2013, 10:55:03 AM Regarding the tabards, they should sit more like a Y than an X, like this:

Title: Re: My costume (90 percent done) Post by: Oramac on January 24, 2013, 08:59:43 PM Looks good, but definitely more Jedi-ish. Dying the shirt blood-red or some such color should help the Sith look.
Personally, I think the tabards look fine in the X shape, though either way works. Besides, if the X is from Mortal Kombat, who cares? Wouldn't you love to be a Sith Scorpion or Jedi Raiden?! Title: Re: My costume (90 percent done) Post by: dhenwood on January 25, 2013, 01:15:16 AM raiden actually has the y look lol :P black robe on its way now so the tabard length not much of an issue as the back will be covered. i dont think im going to go with red for the shirt, i have a black n gold mask a yellow saber so id like to keep with the theme of gold black (custom nerf blaster is also gold with black weathering). im thinking of a dark gold dye but i dont think it will look good at all.
Title: Re: My costume (90 percent done) Post by: ed_ification on January 25, 2013, 05:50:34 AM Can you add a gold piping or trim to the shirt, after dyeing it black?
Dyeing the shirt gold would be making yourself into Darth Disco, and he's deader than the Emperor, which is why I suggest the trim idea. Trim can be that pop of color that one might want. Title: Re: My costume (90 percent done) Post by: dhenwood on January 25, 2013, 03:12:52 PM trim dying is difficult so i wouldnt bother with that i think il just stick with black. red and black isnt my thing really
Title: Re: My costume (90 percent done) Post by: ed_ification on January 25, 2013, 03:25:08 PM I'm sure you could find gold trim at someplace like a Hancock Fabrics or Joann's... no dyeing of that involved. Dye the shirt first, then add trim/piping.
Title: Re: My costume (90 percent done) Post by: dhenwood on January 25, 2013, 03:43:22 PM true, there is a fabric shop here as well i might go and have a look :) thanks for the idea.
