It was the city store, and it was for the cloak, not the dress. I think they sold out of the one that I liked better, but there is one that they still have that has that nice mottled blue sort of look happy

I made mine...took a simple straight jersey skirt pattern and added 8 triangle panels to get the right shape. Further back in this thread there is a link to a flamenco clothing company that do very accurate style skirts.

For the skirt, I'm going to be taking a pattern from one of the costumes my dnace company uses. It's similar to a flamenco skirt, but different. I'll see if I can find pictures.

I'm using a pattern where the skirt is dropped and a full circle but panels around the bottom. It was an old one I found at an opportunity shop. I will be using a long sleeved leotard top and dropping it longer.

The cape! Oh, ok Starfire, not got that yet. Bought the rest of the black fabric this morning...

I just got my skirt (it's a flamenco skirt from OnStage.com). The length is great, as is the flow. The only problem I kind of have is that it is a shinny fabric, and by shirt is not.

FYI on using OnStage: They do sizes based on inseam, but if you get a skirt based on your actual inseam, the skirt will stop above the ancles (not correct for the Barriss costume). The skirts have draw-strings, so getting a bigger size to compensate for the costume is not a huge deal.

I made the 'dress' as such today. I decided to make it as a one piece and in black lycra (spandex) as the fabric I chose wasn't that shiny. I used a long sleeved leotard pattern and then extended the bottom past the hips down to above the knees. I then used an old pattern I found in a second hand store to cut large half circle pieces for the bottom, still in the lycra. It flows beautifully and as my daughter is a beanpole (she weighs like 22kg at 8 years old) she looks good in it. She loves the feeling of it and likes the way she can move in it easily. We went to the second hand store this afternoon and got her a belt for $1.00 and will be making the buckle over the weekend. I will be buying cape fabric tomorrow. It's looking good! grin

Well it's done... Top isn't exactly Bariss but it's kinda the best we could find

As for the cape, only a small few steps left and it's completed.

See Photos happy

Well it took a while to get all the right pieces, a certain Dress from here, material from there, helping hand from a seamstress that we know. But it's come together well happy
