Nightsister Ventress

[ladyb]

OK I admit it, I've been looking into designing a build for the Nightsister outfit. Though my husband in the Dooku Jammies isn't going forward but done for a joke I think I will build this one.

I see more CRL photoshoots in your future!

I'm with you - this costume would be very cool and MUCH easier on the makeup with the hood

 

We've already got a gal in Capital City G working on this, so I'm looking forward to seeing what she comes up with.

I think she's psychic!

 

Right now my husband is building the armour parts and I've got the red material. I'm trying to decide what would be best for the gray texture right now. Maybe painting it; not sure.

I love this concept!

Maybe velvet, velour or a micro seude type? It looks to be of a medium to heavy-weight fabric, and obviously stretchy. Painting it with a stippling technique should achieve the desired effect I would think.

It kinda looks like a light gray jersey fabric. Sorta like:

I bought a charcoal gray luxury stretch velvet for the base. Still have to locate the red. And my husband does want to do the Dooku jammies. If someone makes them he would be willing to buy them! lol I am also thinking of making the neck piece a darker shade. It looks that way in all the pictures.

Yes, the neck and round part underneath is essentially the same as other traditional versions and I'm making it the same, matching with the vambraces on the forearms.

 

I found something I think is a good match for the red and would be happy to share the information with you if you'd like.

As far as the red goes, what we've picked up is called Burgundy Crushed TAF #7558505 from JoAnnes. It was in the area with the fabrics on the larger rolls.

 

LadyB might be able to do the Jammies for you if interested.

Grey fabric wise, a marl grey would have that textured colour, as its a blend of polyester and cotton, the cotton taking a darker grey dye, the polyester remains pale and so you get that cool effect.

[ionicdesign]

Have some light gray sintra now and making the shins and other armour parts. (fingers crossed).

[kathgruben]

Fingers crossed for you! Let us know how they turn out.

Hey so I was given the link to this forum. I too am interested in this version of Ventress. I loved that story arch. I also love this outfit because its very mobile, sexy, and the hood can be up for ease of the make-up, or down. I will be keeping an eye on your progress. I received a PM from your husband to contact you about a possible commission, or help, with this costume. I don't have the time or money right now to start this, but when I do, you'll be hearing from me .

 

On a side note, I have made my custom fem mando from sintra and I absolutely love the material. It's easy to use and manipulate. When I can get mine going, I was also going to use that material for the armored parts.

Sounds great, I'll keep the thread updated. Yeah the sintra will be interesting, ID is handling that. Excited to see how this works. I have all my materials, and just need to make it now.

So I bought my boots for ventress, just going to remove the tassels.

[Guest Mara Jade]

awesome boots Where did you get them?

[Guest Mara Jade]

doublepost, sorry

 

How would this fabric be? Too light, maybe?

[ladyb]

Looks like it should work, but is a little on the light side.

 

I struggled a bit with finding a material I liked, but was able to get a dress I think will work from a thrift store. Will hopefully get some pictures posted soon.

[Guest Mara Jade]

I've been looking at this too:

But I am a bit conifused - the colour seems very nice, but the description says black. I've sent a message to the seller, asking about the colour It doesn't look black to me....

[ladyb]

I'm moving forward on my build, have the boots painted and mu husband is making the armour. Have drafted this as a template:

[ladyb]

Slowly, but surely getting things together and getting it made. I'm getting close on having the soft parts altogether. Michael has gotten the boots painted and is moving on the the armour parts.

 

[Guest Mara Jade]

really guttered - finally decided the funds were there to go forward with this costume - and then found the red fabric weren't on sale at JoAnn's anymore, bah! Guess I'll be looking more into the gray fabric then.

 

I was wondering, about the bare thighs - I'm not really found of naked skin (I tend to get a rash on my thighs, have done so since I was a kid ) plus I plan on being able to use the costume in winter times/outside too - would it be acceptable with some white "ish" tight fitting leggings/dance wear pants or something?

[Guest broodingventress]

Here are some updates, the shot of me in the body suit doesn't reflect the colour well, that's why i took a picture of my sleeve.

We are currently working on the thigh highs.
