I still have some minor flare in the capelet at the bottom, but I will be sewing it and the hood into place tmrw. I want to see how this fabric holds up to washing before doing the long cape.

Very much better! I am hoping to get this part approved before getting too far ahead of myself.

I switched to a curved cut piece of fabric, vs a rectagular piece, and got something much more suitable. The boy scout ties in the front will go away, and it will get cleaned up but much better.

Thank you for your assistance! However, that triangular section is the dart I used to create the cup over the shoulder. Do you know if there a pattern hidden somewhere? Thus far, the capelet is flat piece with pleats across, darted at the shoulders. The hood is only pinned on at this point. Steph

Hello Sith Lords! I am building Darth Revan with a friend - he is building our hard parts, and I am attempting to build the soft parts. I have tackled the pleats and won, and we chose a fabric like the polyester used to make the hakama. My biggest issue is his capelet and getting the right look with the shoulders. I know the polyester I'm using will work better than the linen here in my test pattern, but the shoulders are a bit too squared, compared to the CRL for the 501st. They are a bit exaggerated with tailor's chalk, also. The Weeping Angel mask is perfect for showing how much light gets in, but my dress form is lacking a real head. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated! (link for easy browsing! - http://databank.501st.com/databank/Costuming:SL_revan)
