The other thing I do is I connect the tabards together at the back with a small piece of fabric. That way they don't get seperated and lost.

Another tabard question: is it permissable to do the tabard/belt combo in a *contrasting* color to the outer tunic? All the Jedi I've seen have the same color for the tabard/belt combo. I think that it would look better on me if I went with a contrasting dark brown to go over the khaki outer tunic. Dark colors just look better on someone like me..."dark to diminish." I have enough fabric to do the tabard/belt in khaki but I just think this would look better. What say ye, fellow costumers?
Update: duh, looked at a bunch of RL/TJA Jedi costumes and it certainly looks like a contrasting tabard/belt is acceptable. Actually what I will be doing is more like a Japanese chanchanko vest, only there will not be a side panel. The obi will be a part of the chanchanko/tabard vest thing.
So here's the rundown:
Done:
* Cappucino-colored brown ankle-length skirt
* Coffee-colored brown hooded over-robe
* Olive drab/brown mottled "inner tunic" dickey from Simplicity 5840. Note this fabric is not woodland camo, but a mottled fabric that looks like the variegations on a leaf.
* Khaki with brown and olive/brown mottled head wrap. I always wear a bandana on my head when at a con because it is often WICKED HOT on the con floor and this keeps the sweat out of my eyes. If Luminara Unduli can wear both headgear and a hooded robe, so can I.
* Brown suede "Earth boots" purchased last year.
To do:
* Khaki colored outer tunic
* Espresso colored "chanchanko vest" style tabard/obi combo, inspired by the book "Make Your Own Japanese Clothes" by Marshall, ISBN 0-87011-865-X. Will have some of the olive/brown mottled fabric for accents at the collar.
All fabric is 100% cotton. Most is plain cotton or cotton twill, but the khaki is a cotton sateen that has a very subtle sheen to it. Most fabrics from Woodbury University and FIDM fabric sales...score! ^_^

I need help. My sister and I are making our first costumes, and we don't really know how to sew (we're enlisting our mother to help). The problem lies in the fact that we have a pattern for the tunics, but we need to alter it to fit the Jedi tunics better. And we don't know how to do that.
The pattern is Simplicity 4134, a kimino pattern. I will be making both the long and short versions, and my sister will be making the short version only.
Any help or suggestions for altering the pattern is greatly, greatly appreciated.

Can someone point me towards a good pattern for an undertunic? If there's modifications, that's okay, just be specific. I'm not sewing, but a friend is.

The same kimono pattern, just alter the sleeves to make them very long and narrow. Cut them on the bias to get the max stretch out of the fabric and fit them so they barely stretch over your fist. Cut several inches too long, and the sleeves will "ruck" in the correct way.
I also make it a bit shorter.

There's a great set of boots from the Sarah Jessica Parker Bitten Collection @ Steve & Barry's. Now if I can convert them to men's size I'd be set

I was wondering how you make a hood stay up on the cloak. I made a Jedi cloak and when the hood's up it tends to blow back down almost immediately just from walking, even if there's no wind. How do you keep the hood up?

Is there any difference between generic male and generic female Jedi robes?

Miba : that's a problem many have. There have beens some discussions about it elsewhere. One of my ideas was to use a hair comb, pinned to the inside of the hood and then attached to my hair. http://public.fotki.com/Kait/star_wars/host/comb.html
moosemousse: Not necessarily, except for the fit...some do a different cut to accomodate the differences in form. A few women have taken to wearing long, dark brown, skirts (a la Jocasta Nu).

If you look at the top line in the (currently) green band at the top, you will see "thread index".
