Perhaps you guys can help....

Well I want to get a Jedi outfit for Halloween, parties, Star Wars events, everyday use, etc. and I have no idea where to start. I have consulted the custom lightsaber thread and I'll probably be getting one for Christmas, but I need the costume to finish the outfit...

Where should I go to buy one, build one, what? Ant help would be great!!

 

As idarii for advice. She makes a wicked good costume.

 

hi raanic

i just finished my own jedi robes after 2 and a half months of alot of sewing and cursing i would be very happy to help you - and anyone else - if you are interested in making some robes. i'll have pictures of mine up soon (i'll be picking them up tonight) and so yeah.

be prepared for alot of work if you're planning on making the whole thing from scratch. but it is so worth it in the end

and thank you tony for the compliment i'm glad you liked the costume

 

errr....hmmm...well I so happy for the advice, thanks a ton! However, I have never really sewn anything in my life, let alone a whole costume...is there anywhere I can get one maybe? ?

 

I've heard of different costume and tailor shops that will do a custom job if you can explain it to them in enough detail. It shouldn't be too hard for robes.

I'll ask around, I know some people who are supposedly looking for Jedi costumes.

 

Well I bought my Jedi costume from a place called Katarra Kreations,but that was around the time of TPM & I've heard a rumor that they might have stopped,I don't know.If they are still doing it it's worth the price(total for mine with boots & sabre was close to $1000)they do great work.Hope I can help.

 

here's a pic of my outfit

Wow...that looks great! How much do you think it would be without the saber?

 

top looking robes, but why is harry potter next to you? wheres the lightsaber?

 

Well the actual costume was about $600 & change,the boots were about $200 & the sabre w/ belt was about $200.the sabre is on my left side just barely visible.Harry is actually "VLamidala" from the forums & the other honey(lol) is "StarfromIHJ" as Buffy.We just felt like wearing costumes that day.

 

the total cost for mine was about $200 for everything, maybe slightly less. anyway if you're intimidated by the sewing, i can help you or teach you or collaborate or whatever. i've got a machine if you don't - it makes things much easier. did you see my costume? i'm on the right.

 

Well I am currently at school in Western MA but durring the summer I am hope on the cape. I know you said you live in Providence(or close to it) so that's like right in the middle....if you are willing to make it that may work....if not I'll probably just buy one off of this site:

hmmmm lots of pleather you will need, i think

well let me know what works for you. i'll give my advice and help if needed. i feel like an expert now that i've conquered the jedi robes mwaha

 

hehe....well I was looking for something similar to Anakin's like in that link minus all the pleather....

 

hmmm.....there are websites that can custom make costumes but I'm not sure if lucasfilm shut them down yet.
