SW Costuming in the Philippines

I've been scouring the net lately for resources on SW costuming, and I'm just wondering...aside from Camp Suki, are there anymore Star Wars costume resources here i the Philippines?

Anyone of you guys who are aware of such?

 

StompboXX, this is just an off-shot recommandation from an observer.

Why not ask those Cosplayers for some tips on getting materials, fabric and such for making your SW Costumes? I'm sure if you ask nicely and discretely (don't directly say you're doing SW Costumes), they'll offer some tips.

Hmm, it this Camp Suki selling Rubies Costumes?

 

Cool suggestion, Darth Eagle.

 

I have no idea. But Camp Suki here is ther resource for anythign that involves costumes. They're relatively high-profile, asisting theater groups to even TV shows when they need instant costumes ASAP. The only problem is that the rentals are expensive.

Hmm, if they are of high profile, I guess they wouldn't have Rubies Costumes as it's known to be crappy, especially the kids versions.

The only problem is that the rentals are expensive.

How much is the rental in US$? Here we got quite a number of Costume Shops (about 10-20) and the rental usually run around US$40 to a few hundreds depending on the type of shop/studio and type of costumes (and inside connections).

Anyhow, our SW Costuming Community is very, very small here although the Cosplaying one quite large. We're just an oldies that is still not know by the man on the street.

 

Here are some interesting links regarding Star Wars costumes:

Kvan's Costume

Kvan is a costumer who's gaining popularity among the Costuming Community. Her creation for her girl, Quincy look quite good, even through it's not accurate. Wish I live near to her so can ask her help!

I also visited OB1's Jedi Academy, The Padawan Guide and Amber's Jedi Meditation Chamber for some Jedi Costume tips, mostly for my readings as some of my friend here keep asking me about making the Jedi Costumes (I haven't done my Prequel one yet; just the NJO). But most of the times, I gained the most infos from getting involved in Costuming & Props Boards; one of the most active ones is of course the JediCouncil's Costuming & Props Board.


And here's some more links:

This guide is a bit anyhow done! (Someone got lots to rewrite and redo next updates *roll eyes*)
Costuming Guide

There's another good website called "The Parts Of Star Wars" which concentrates more on SW Props but it's down for now.

Frankly, half of the costumes I had wore till now had been assembled from normal clothings. Thus, it's not that expansive to have a good SW costume; just need the patients to be able to make or assemble it and an eye to keep out for the stuffs you need.

 

I looked around Kvan's site for some time and I must say, she's very good. I was particularly impressed with Quincy's Amidala costumes. Really really cool. AND they got to get photo-ops with celebs. Heheh. I like her Jedi robes too.

 

Hmm...interesting links. Now all i have to do is to save up for the material.

Then I'm constructing my own lightsaber.


*counts how many pesos they would cost*

 

Hehee! But be wary! Once you start on the path to SW Costuming, forever it'll dominate your destiny!

 

The DH2 website is actually interesting, especially their helmet construction section. I just need to have some of the hardcore materials like the vacuum table, the heating gun. and of course, the styrene.

 

Any of you will be attempting the Prequel Jedi Costumes?

 

It's fairly easy. An officemate of mine brought his Jedi garb last week for our office raincoat party.

Don't get the connection? Jedi-Obi wan-Kamino-rain.

There. ;p
