SWC19 SWC22 Costume/cosplay thread

Wow! what a creative and resourceful person you are! I missed the costume parede last Cele. be cause I was in the store line! I saw only very little(heeds and helmets) going by. The Woodrow Hood group is so cute! such a small character can be so popular and large in numbers! I want to make sure I can get good group pictures this time! hope to see you there!

 

Nice! I'm going by myself, so I won't be cosplaying, but I can't wait to see what people are doing.

 

I’m really thinking of doing a female version of Thrawn. I’ve loved him since the 90s

 

That would be cool. I met a female Hux at a con earlier this year who looked amazing.

 

I'm considering cosplaying. Thinking maybe Han from Solo.

 

I'm thinking of doing Cassian. It's easy enough. And he's probably my favorite Star Wars character next to Luke.

 

Tell me more about the running of the hoods. I've seen it, I know what it is, but how do I participate and how is it organized?

 

I'll probably just bring generic Jedi robes, they're comfortable enough for the amount of sitting, walking, queuing, etc that you do at Celebration.

 

I might do a Jedi. I just need to figure out how do people make the Tabards...

 

There’s guides over at the Rebel Legion site (check their forums). Generally they’re not one piece and the seam is hidden under the belt & obi, which is how they’re angled on the body then straight below the belt. Some people also use velcro or poppers at the belt and shoulders to help stop them slipping all the time.

 

The first rule of Running of the Hoods is...

 

. . . our running is not known until the day of.

 

"Tell people how to sign up," apparently.

 

Oh! no, I got that. I was making a joke because "the first rule of fight club is 'don't talk about fight club,' " but it looked like "the first rule about the running of the hoods is 'kindly direct people to where they can get more information' "

 

My hope is to finish up the X-wing pilot costume and get it approved for Rebel Legion, by this autumn. Aside from proper boots, the flak vest tubing needs to get fixed. Also I was finishing the helmet very last min before Rogue One premiere, so it is a simple colour scheme.
For comfort, I'll bring my Doctor Aphra. And maaaybe Jedi Jaina Solo. Still new at sewing and require a bit of handholding from friends.

I guess a pilot suit can easily be repurposed for Willrow Hood... But that might be too much homework / luggage for next April.

 

I'm thinking about doing a Jedi outfit inspired by Luke's Crait costume. Won't be accurate enough for Rebel Legion (and I may play with the colours a bit) but I'm hoping it will be quite comfortable/practical for just walking round in.

 

Sweet that the pilot suit can be used! Then I'll start investigating how to make an ice cream maker....

 

My orange jump/flight suit, boots, insignia and badge are packed in the ice cream maker . . . uh, computer core.
It's a tight squeeze, but doable.

 

Looks great!

 

Seeing there are pilot costumers here, I might as well pick your brains. How do you normally pack your helmet? Carry-on? Special baggage?
