Any advice on the outfit, boots and belt would be helpful. Tomorrow I'll get a light brown Kimono top, some material for the undershirt possibly muslin (dark brown) pants-same color as the kimono but khaki material. Any advice on this and what I have left would be very helpful. Good luck with the costumes.

Well, we're done with them...sorta devil


I think the C3 Birthday Bash will also be a quasi costuming night...there will be sewing, food, cake...and libation, productivity and merriment for all.


See ya there, Kittens.

Whoops. Forgot to post that we aren't costuming tonight -- still getting things back in order from the week before all hell broke loose.

At least I got the new window sheers hung in the main room's windows. grin

Anyone know where to get a real authentic looking Vader costume for a 15 year old thats 5'7"? Didnt think so... i probably wouldnt be able to make one considering time and stuff.

DD...you're looking at least a couple grand for something that looks authentic. Its a tuff one. Lots of leather work...tons of time. Sith Slayer the Rmff CR made one. If you're really interested in knowing more, pm him about it. happy

Could someone PLEASE help with any finishing touches for my jedi costume. I have my belt left and does anyone know anything better than riding boots.

im of no help on the belt. but as far as foot wear goes, look into spats. all the jedi wear them in the prequels, so they would be cannon.

Thanks Birr, I looked that up. I did find some east german riding boots on ebay for 14.00. They won't be wat Alec wore but it will be close enough for being this late finishing. The Robe was the hardest but its close to being actual.

Whattabout faux leather

its cheaper than the real leather, but its not as durable. The stuff we have at work that is cover in faux leather looks ok for a while, but it quickly falls to crap.plus it looks faux. basicaly its cheap material wouldnt hold up and just doesnt look right.

Belts...we can help down here. Haven't had any costuming nights for a few weeks, though, but that's quite likely to change. Don't have to wait for a costume night, though -- just need to set up a time to work.

As for the 5'7" Vader...going with pleather instead of real leather would only save around $500 off that $4k. But a 5'7" Vader wouldn't look good at all. All the pieces that you can currently buy are all sized for someone 6'2" (minimum height) and above. Everything would have to be custom-made, otherwise it'd look like a bobble head. plain

Okie dokie, RubberDuckTape and I have been talking about it, and we're thinking we might go ahead and have a costume night this Wednesday, June 8th, at our place. Main focus, meethinks, is to get stuff ready for the Renfest this year. w00t.

Rachel and I are working on pirates, but have yet to find material for our pirate coats. Hopefully that will change after today. I know Rachel had requested JGoC's help with making a pirate hat, and I know JKB was needing some help from JGoC with a kilt.

General rules apply -- we usually like everyone to have something to work on just so we don't have a lot of warm bodies just standing around doing nothing. Of course, if somebody is just standing around doing nothing, chances are something will be found for you to do. grin

You're wearing a Microsoft shirt -- you're already a puppet. wink

Really though -- Yoda? Gonna do a human-sized Yoda, or a Mel Brooks/Yogurt-style Yoda??? Either way, it'd be the first. grin
