Author	Topic: Barriss Offee's Costume

	I'm going to make the Barriss Offee costume for Halloween because I'm a hopless Star Wars fan, and it isn't going to cost me much to make it other than the material that I'm going to use to make the dress that I will use anyway and whatever I decide on for the cape. The question is: Is her makeup dark purple or black? Would it look better to do black makeup or dark purple makeup if your skin is lighter than hers, but not too much? Okay, so two questions. And...are those just any random black boots she's wearing under her dress? If anybody can answer my questions soon, you're awesome! Thanks.

	Fortunately, there are many reference photos online of Barriss Offee. Try doing a Google Image search for her, you should get lots of pics. I know that JediSamantha did that costume (quite well too). Also, one of the Rebel Legion members did her costume as well. As to the tattoos, I would personally lean towards the purple. Perhaps even outlined in black first. The boots should not matter much, as the floor length dress covers them for the most part. Footwear is always one of the hardest parts in costuming, but luckily you ladies have it much easier...seems that tall boots for men are in limited selection. I hope that helps to some degree... ~Kai -----signature----- "God lives in the details..." http://hometown.aol.com/kairhann

	That costume is actually a lot more detailed than you think Padawan_adri from our group in Rochester, NY did the costume and put a ton of time into it - the buckle alone for the belt took a couple days to carve into the leather You might want to contact her - she did an awesome job with the costume, makeup, belt, and everything that went with the costume. Try contacting her - if she wants I can host the pics of her buckle and costume for her - this way you can see how it turned out Dave -----signature----- www.saberbelt.com - 2.0 - coming soon I'm back baby!

	Just check out the Padawan's Guide section on Barris Offee & Luminara Unduli. There are some great references and links there. -----signature----- "Light and dark force powers are not inherently good or evil. What matters is how you use them."

	Beware! I think i read it on Padawan's Guide.. but its not a dress: the shirt is ribbed and the skirt is like polyester spandex? I was looking into this costume a couple of months ago.... -----signature----- "I am so excited about Star Whores" - Fez "Fezzie man, its Star WARS" - Hyde "Screw that!" - Fez http://www.austinfanforce.org

	Since halloween isn't that far away I think it might be hard to do a perfectly accurate costume, it won't be that hard to do easily recognisable Barriss though. Most people would recognise her in the black tight shirt and long flowing skirt, then the important thing would be to get the blue cape with pattern on it and the make up. I'd say that if you really don't want to sew you could probably find a suitable top and skirt to buy. -----signature----- "That is the beauty of grand opera; you can do anything...as long as you sing it" Anna Russell

	You guys are awesome! Thank you soooo much. Now I get to go out and spend my birthday money. Since I need a concert dress anyway, I'm probably just going to do some type of dressy dress, make/buy a top to go with it, and (hopefully) find material that looks good. My main concern was definately the makeup. And, being as Halloween isn't very far away, and I'm in band and we do stuff all of the time, I don't think I'm going to be able to make an accurate costume, because I'm a and nerd and teach every day and have no time. I will post pictures when I get it finished.... -----signature----- http://boards.theforce.net/Beyond_the_Saga/b10477/15681875/?0 Color Guard: the band's comic relief.

	Yeah!!! I finally found a place that talks about Barriss' costume. I decided to try this about 3 days b4 Halloween and it took couple long nights to finish it. as soon as i figure out my scanner I'll post some pics of it. I actually found fabric for the cloak that matches fairly close. but it was like $10.00 a yard or more i cant rememeber. anyways does anyone know how to do the neck part and black under hood???

	I think that the tattoos on her face are blue. I found a wonderful color of blue luquid eyeliner yesterday and its really easy to apply and comes off w/ soap and water. anyways have a good week!! -----signature----- Duct Tape Is Like The Force, It Has a Light side and a Dark And Holds The Universe Together. better to be a Jedi and stay out of love than to be caught in its tangled web.

	Upping this again to ask if someone has or knows where to find a close-up picture of the belt buckle? Also, can anyone recommend an online site where I might find something for the cloak material? I've been to every Hancock's in town and haven't found anything that even remotely resembles the cloak. THANKS! -----signature----- "Luke Skywalker kicks ass.
