    If you can submit reference photos of what you built that is a good thing, especially if there are variations.

    So I have an interesting question about my Mara Jade build: can I get it approved for both 501st and Rebel Legion with the same version? The same version exists in both costume reference guides. Does anyone know the answer to this?

    There are some costumes that are dual-approvable (assuming one meets the requirements from each organization). Examples are: Tusken Raiders, Jawas, most Clones (but NOT the "Rebels" Captain Rex...regrettably). If Mara Jade has a CRL in both the 501st and RL, then you can indeed be approved in both!

    OK, another question.....if the CRL for a character says, regarding boots, "no visible laces or buckles", does that mean that zippers are ok? How about elastic panels? I know the Jedi CRL is more specific and states no outside zippers, but the one for Mara Jade does not say that.

    Hmm...that's tricky. Generally speaking, zippers are ok if they are concealed, like with flaps. I'll see if I can get a more definitive answer for you.

    Costumed as Hera and James as Ezra at SW Celebration. I was in the full costume for 7 hours and did pretty well!! It held up okay and the headpiece was tolerable. I know what I need to tweak and what I need to do to complete both costumes. Ghost crew assemble!! Ps... an Imperial Cadet helmet is officially in order for Jonathan!!

    In the McCall's Cosplay line of patterns they have a great simple bodysuit pattern (also by Yaya Han), if you haven't checked that one out already.

    Introducing Christopher's Jedi Knight cosplay, which he will be debuting at the Summit Autism Walk tomorrow morning! I will be there in the position of his handler/wrangler, as my hand continues to heal.[​IMG]

    The only tweak needed was some extra Velcro for the belt.

    The last few pieces of my Qui-Gon are in. Just need to style the wig and POSSIBLY trim the beard on the sides, and they will be ready. A little industrial strength Velcro for the belt (to prevent any wardrobe malfunctions)...[​IMG][​IMG][​IMG]

    Has anyone here dealt with a company called Gladiator Legion Cosplay Boots? Got my eye on a pair of QGJ boots and they look pretty good!
