	I've decided to dust off the Hermoine Granger costume project again. My robe is just too beautiful to keep in the closet! -----signature----- TB/ID-5102 NJO/501st NER 6.21.02 Real friends stab you in the front RJ doesn't sleep....he waits.

	I made a school robe without any badges though, but I love it! I wear it all the time The thing that I don't like about it is that it looks like snape's when you're walking. -----signature----- "So, how do you like my swimming?" Am now married! Hands off, boys!

	Mine flows very nicely....but I'll be needing a little bit of a heel on my shoes so it doesn't drag on the floor. -----signature----- TB/ID-5102 NJO/501st NER 6.21.02 Real friends stab you in the front RJ doesn't sleep....he waits.

	I've been done this costume for quite a while but I forgot about this thread so I didn't post the pics before. Anyway here's my Slytherin costume: http://f2.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/iycis7/album?.dir=/949f&.src=ph&store=&prodid=&.done=http%3a//f2.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/iycis7/my_pho tos -----signature----- TK/TB/ID/BH 1224

	Wow! That's a good costume! Good job! My cloak is big and flowy too. It's cool if you want to use it for other things but a school robe isn't that big. -----signature----- "So, how do you like my swimming?" Am now married! Hands off, boys! Back to editing for me!

	All right, time for the truth, did you buy that costume...? ?:\| Because it looks just like the movie ones! -----signature----- "So, how do you like my swimming?" Am now married! Hands off, boys! Back to editing for me! You, my friend, are a few plums short of a fruit pie. ~Momo

	Ok here are the bought parts: the sweater, the white collared shirt underneath, and scarf. I made the skirt, the cloak, the tie (sewed each strip of fabric together and then made the tie). I really recommend wizarduniforms.com for the sweater. I love mine! Great quality and a decent price. the skirt is not totally accurate but that doesn't bother me. It more like a kilt since it wraps to close and only has the pleats in the back and not around the entire thing like the film version. Making the tie was a chore and a half. But I'm pleased with how it turned out since I made it back when not many people were selling them online and I couldn't easily get one. I bought the scarf before I knew how to knit. Now that I know I would probably try my hand at it if I didn't have one already. A tip I would pass on is making a holder inside your cloak to carry your wand in. I find this really useful so that I don't have to have it in my hands at all times. -----signature----- TK/TB/ID/BH 1224

	iycis, what type of collar shirt was the one you bought? 1. Where did you get it? 2. What brand was it? 3. What was it made of? (in the movie their collars and shirts look kinda stiff to me...). By the way, it is an awesome costume. But I still don't get how you made the tie, either.

	I have a thought on the tie, it's just a thought remember. First you get the colors you want, should be pretty easy. Then cut them out in thick lines, anyway you want them, and then sew them together, and fold. Something like that...... Has no idea -----signature----- "So, how do you like my swimming?"

	If you buy a dress shirt, the collar will be fairly stiff. That's just the way they're made. I know several people who use short-sleeve shirts under their sweaters, to cut down on how hot the costume gets with all the layers. If you need a tie pattern, try Simplicity 5308. There's a tie included as one of the accessories. -----signature----- Leia Costuming: Clothing A Star Wars Obsession (plus other things) http://www.stormtrooperprincess.com Costuming Journal http://www.livejournal.com/users/leiac

	I like the pattern. Heres the pattern that I used for the Cloak: I used the blue cloak, very good. Anyone use a different one? -----signature----- "So, how do you like my swimming?" Am now married! Hands off, boys! Back to editing for me! You, my friend, are a few plums short of a fruit pie. ~Momo

	I know that there are a few stores that sell the Gryffindor tie, like J Crew, Brooks Brothers, etc. They're not available on the websites though, so you'd have to go there yourself. My scarf was handknit, though. -----signature----- TB/ID-5102 NJO/501st NER 6.21.02 Real friends stab you in the front RJ doesn't sleep....he waits.
