Heya!

I really want to do Jaina's Force Herectic costume for Fan Expo Canada this year and I'd be very happy for any advice. I've got the boots (thank goodness I'm into horseback riding, lol!) but things like what fabrics, patterns, etc. to use is a mystery to me. As well as the belt as I really want it as accurate as possible.

Thanks!



When I made a quick version of this costume a couple of years ago, I used McCalls 4664 for the pants. I went with the assumption that the piece under the belt was a band at the top of the pants, such as in this pattern. Alternatively, I think some people have made it as a separate thin obi-like piece.

I didn't like the pattern I used for the top, so I won't recommend it. wink If I ever get around to redoing this costume, I'll definitely be looking around for a new tunic/top pattern.

Good luck!

Did my first Jaina photoshoot on Saturday! I did the black jumpsuit from the Japanese covers of NJO: Destiny's War, NJO: Force Heretic I - Remnant, and the US cover of LOTF: Invincible. She also wears one in LOTF: Betrayal and LOTF: Tempest so I figured it's enough to make it something that can be associated with her. The pictures were a little different from one source to another so I went with what would be recognizable but still accurate.

Here are a few of them:
