Author	Topic: Barriss Offee's Costume
qingauk Registered: Jul '02	Date Posted: 3/13/05 6:43am Subject: RE: Barriss Offee's Costume
	It is so difficult to make decisions on the colors and the makeup as there are not consistent pictures available. I did see there is a book coming out soon on the costumes by Trisha but of course that will be too late for all of us to get it exact! My belt is black and I still can't see other than dark brown in most of the pictures so perphaps it is black brown and reflecting the light. It seems that all her colors are very dark so having a lighter brown belt does not make sense in my mind but hard to tell. I have black shoes to wear but am contemplating picking up short boots at Salvation army or other consignment shop. They will show when I walk as I am not making it so long to drag in case of rain. What are others doing for the boots? I still need to attach the buckle I made to the original black belt somehow. I was toying with the idea of putting the belt on backwards to buckle in the back out of site and gluing the Barriss buckle onto the front because it is not obvious to me that there is belt overlap. My husband says he does see overlap! so I will let him figure out how to replace the buckle I can't see seams on the skirt and did not use a pattern. Mine is not as full but that was all the fabric of that color I could get. I just measured waist and then to hips circum. down to top of leg on the side and cut the skirt so it was snug to that point and then flared it out like an erlenmeyer flask ! SWC will know what I mean by that! I know there has to be seams in it to get it that full but the dark fabric hides them and that is they way mine is. -----signature----- "My love for you is a puzzle, Annie, for which I have no answers.

	That looks beautiful iycis. I have a question about your hood (looks great):) Which pattern did you use to make it? Something like this? : http://store.sewingtoday.com/cgi-bin/mccallpattern/shop.cgi?s.item.M4698=x&TI=40020&page=1 -----signature----- "so this is how liberty dies, with thunderous applause..' http://photobucket.com/albums/f268/LadyTyrona/

	Yes that looks very similar to what I used for the pattern minus the ruffles. -----signature----- TK/TB/ID/BH 1224

	I'm using a pair of black boots that no one will ever see. In the action figure they made her with a pair of tall black boots, about twice the height of mine...but I don't really care, since no one will see mine. Most Jedi wear tall style boots, so you could use that as a guideline. -----signature----- http://www.livejournal.com/users/tyraliarose

	iycis: Wow! Those pics & costume look wonderful! qingauk: I think any plain black boot would work since, depending on the length of your skirt, only the top part of the foot would show. I have a question about the head covering. The only thing I really didn't like about the costume last year was that my ears showed under the hood. Looking closer, she has an almost nun-looking covering around her head & face. Has anyone made that part? And, if so, what works best? (I'm also thinking of getting a black wig so that I can leave the hood down at times - it's hard to see around that thing. And Barriss isn't wearing the cloak and has straight black hair on the cover of MedStar I: Battle Surgeons, so it wouldn't be entirely out of canon, LOL.) -----signature----- "Luke Skywalker kicks ass.

	for the headband under the hood I took some of the extra skirt fabric which is stretchy and cut a piece that was just under head circumference and about 6 inches wide. I sewed it into a cirle to make a headband and it works nicely. Here is my costume. I used a picture of her then put self next to her as comparison. -----signature----- "My love for you is a puzzle, Annie, for which I have no answers. I can't control it.. and now I don't care.

	the hood is double layered and along the front edge down to about ear level I put a 6-8" strip of the flexi weave that is used for rug hooking. It is in plastic sheets and looks like plastic screening. It gives it more support than interfacing which I tried first. I inserted in and then tacked it in randomly so it is not sewn tightly. The hood as way too big for my first try and I cut it down a lot. I think I matched the cloak fabric pretty closely. My skirt needed to be fuller but I did not have enough fabric. -----signature----- "My love for you is a puzzle, Annie, for which I have no answers. I can't control it.. and now I don't care.

	yay! just finished my cloak! i didn't double over the hood though, i'll bet that's why i had so much fabric left over, maybe i can still add it....it dosn't look TOO close to the actual, but it's pretty good, if i do say so my self, I will have pictures as soon as i get a long black skirt! -----signature----- Former Padawan to BonMothma

	What a great time at C3. Here are a couple of pictures.. too bad we did not manage to all get together for a Barriss group picture.. I had my picture taken with the original Barriss and she is a lovely person.Too bad I did not notice my hood was crooked! -----signature----- "My love for you is a puzzle, Annie, for which I have no answers.
