O.C, CA **Official OC Fan Force Costuming help and advice thread.**

I know there is a whole forum dedicated to this cause, but I think it would be good for us to have our own thread for this. It will make it much easier to help each other out.

So If you need help/advice or if you have a costume and you like to post what it is then go ahead and post it here.

 

my knowledge of SW costuming is limited, however i do have extensive info on EP1 and EP2 jedi knight costumes. i will be glad to share.

 

I used to spend all of my time in the costuming threads. here are the most helpful websites out there:

jedigarb.tripod.com

tatooine.fortunecity.com

littleowl.com/costumes/jedi.htm

jedi-academy.com

hope it helps...

 

Great job D_A. Lets keep this going.

 

does anyone sew...cuz if u do i know some great patterns i saw at JOANN's fabric store!

 

I saw the one's your thinking of. They looked great for Jedi Robes. Only one thin is it cheats on the inner tunic so you would have to change that, but other than that I agree D_A it ws a great pattern.

 

hi;

this is for those who cant sew and cant affort to have jedi knight tunics and robes made...this website has both for sale...while not cheap...they are nice...site also has lightup lightsabers for sale...not great, but not too bad..anything else i can to to help anyone out...let me know...this is the site:
http://www.anniescostumes.com/clonead.htm

i can also help with utility belts...

 

great don

way to keep us posted!

 

I bought this pattern Simplicity 9887. It was the closest i could find to Ankin's jedi robe at the time. Are there any better patterns now?

 

Actually that is the one I purchased also. It will work well. Make sure you do the custom work on the sleeves and hood. If you need to know what needs to be customized check at Amber's Jedi Meditation Chamber.com and at thepadawansguide.com both will give you the best information that I have found on the web.

 

Is anyone interested in volunteering for the postition of Director of costuming and Prop making? Let me know if you are interested.

 

thanks kyp...my wife says im something of a fanatic when it comes to costume building...it drives her crazy...but a jedi's got to do what a jedi's got to do...right SRB?

 

Hi, I'm DarthRamos and I just joined the fan club. I was wondering if you might know of any places I could go to to make a jedi costum for me and my daughters. Websites or stores in Orange County and Riverside would also be helpful. Thanks.

 

Welcome to the group. Contact Zhi-don. He will now of a place to get it made. If you would like info on patterns I can give you some info on those as well, so you could make them yourself. Also welcome to the group!

And please check in at the contact list thread

 

go here to see a woman who's jedi costume is really cool!

 

For anyone who is making Jedi Robes. If you have the money I would suggest investing some of it in a really good lightsaber. The following is a website of a man who make them. They are the best I have ever seen. I actually own a defiance model. the web site is www.parksabers.com

It may take 8-9 weeks to get it but the wait is more than worth it. Also if you want to save up he is at the Comic-con in San Diego each year. So if you're interested in one of these then save up for it the Con will be from July 17 to the 20th of 2003.

Just my 0.02

 

I love parksabers. i had my eye on 'malestrom' or 'fury' + a blue/purple blade!

but alas...i live in poverty! j/k
actually my dad just laughed when he say the prices!

 

They are so woth it. The quality is unbelievable.

 

HERE is a really cool place for wookie costuming.

i don't know why anyone would want to dress up as a wookie, but it's the thought that counts, right?

have fun!

 

if ne one is interested in an imperial guard costume here are some awesome websites you just have to check out!

Maybe I'll dress as a Wookiee for the Two Towers premiere LOL.

(It's a running joke with my friends. You dress up as something not related to the movie, so for star wars, you would come as an Elf or something )

 

SRB....bring you saber to the next meeting and i will bring the deluxe jedi robes i ordered...will also have a deluxe qui-gon costume i picked up for my padawan...

thanks
