Thank you all for your comments so far. 'Kylo', what do you think of my research? Is this the right direction? So cloak, hood and tunic? You said you begun a lot of research on this costume as well. Can you share this with me? Maybe by e-mail?

Hi all, I'm new at this forum and need your advice for my latest project: the costume of Vanee, Vader's servant from Rogue One. It's a huge challenge because Vanee is only in the movie for 30 seconds and in a dark environment. As far as I know nobody is building the costume at the moment and it's never build before. I have a few pictures attached which I made lighter so there are more details of the costume visible. The costume exists out of three parts: a cloak, a seperate hood and an under tunic. The cloak: It's a huge black cloak without sleeves. Attached to the cloak there's a big hood. At the front side the cloak is open but covers the shoulders and the sides of the body (call it a 3/4 cloak). The cloak reaches the floor at the back and at the front it's a bit above the floor. For the cloak I want to use shorn wool. The hood: There's a black seperate hood that is long at the back (over the shoulders) and shorter at the front. For the hood another fabric is used. I want to use a cotton blend (mix). Typical for the hood is the inside. It looks like the whole inside is covered with purple velvet. The under tunic: The under tunic is black as well and reaches the floor. It's a one piece tunic like an under dress. A simple piece of fabric is used as a belt/sash. I want to use linen for the under tunic. Arms and hands are never visible in the movie but I want to use sleeves at the under tunic that cover the wrists. Boots or shoes aren't visible so I want to use black boots. I don't want to use a mask. Vanee's face is narrow, so a mask will never be close to how he looks in the movie. Instead I want to use professional make up. I'm already bolt and have a narrow face so I'll think it will do. I hope lots of people will respond at my topic. I need all the possible help. Thanks a lot! All the best, Marnix The Netherlands
