I completed my Barriss Offee costume for C4. I made the dress, cloak and hood myself, and my husband made the belt buckle for me. My lightsaber is machined aluminium - a birthday present from my husband (the ends are interchangeable, as the same design was used for a number of female Jedi).

Nice costume! Must make myself the "chick lightsaber" it would work for my Shaak Ti costume and the Barriss Offee I am going to start. Do you have any tutorial or plans for it?


Anyone working on this costume for this Halloween? Will post with my progress..

I have been debating about the cloak pattern, would it be best to do the stamp or use a stencil?

On my gf's, she cut a stencil of her liking and used paint (fabric/oil/somethin') and just painted it on. It is a sllooowwww process...but the reward pays off. If you **do** go the stencil route, be sure to stop & clean the stencil out frequently, it was caking up on us quickly (depends on the paint).

For the material, to me her cloak looks like a medium wool (probably not, i'm just guessin').

She was gettin' it ready for Dragoncon, so i should have pictures up sometime next week or the one after.

Here's my gf's finished Barriss:




I really, really love the job she did on the cut & draping of the cloak.

The belt doesn't even look close to what it should....

For one thing, the ribbing isn't there on the top.

The cloak's cut & drape **seem** to be close enough. Getting the exact fabric is nightmarish to say the least. We resorted to hand-painting on the heavier cloak (not pictured above). It needs to be turned inside out, but the ad says it's reversible.

The belt problem is easily fixed.

The missing ribbing, however, will take some sewing to get that on.

Not worth the money IMHO, the bottom of the shirt isnt right either.
