Very nice progress and research - but do look at the CRL please, if you want to get it approved in the Legion, because not all your ref. pics can be used. Here is a link : http://databank.501st.com/databank/Costuming:SL_marr_kotor2

Hi and welcome to the forum. Looking forward to follow your build - this costume is also for dual membership of both the 501st. Legion and the Rebel Legion, if you want to join both clubs Have fun and I´ll keep an eye out for your WIP...

What pattern ? the robe ? No, you need to find a pattern for a normal, plain dress and then put some more cm to it in the upper part, so you can make the pleats.

No sorry but this can´t be used for the Darth Traya - as to the CRL : Hooded Robe For 501st approval: The floor length, loose fitting robe is made of a matte black fabric. The fabric is gathered at the shoulders to create a pleated look that runs down the front all the way from the shoulders to the floor. The front of the robe is open from the shoulders to the belt, creating a "V" shaped opening. From the belt down, the robe is closed in front. The back of the robe is somewhat gathered, but it does not have the same pleating as the front. The hood is attached to the robe, and has a pointed tip. When worn up, the hood falls directly over the bridge of the costumer's nose. I´m looking forward to seeing your WIP and follow your progress

Hi I´ve just sold my Traya costume - the wig that you´ve posted looks good. You can adjust the lenght, so it will fit you without problems. Looking forward to see your costume

If you can make the two layers look like they have have the split and the opening in the front, then you should be good. It´s an easy fix

Hi so great to see you ask in here in the detachment for advice we are afterall the ones, who knows the costumes for TFE best. I agree with the other observations - your cape needs to go up over your shoulders, I use snaps to hold it in its place. Do you have the two skirts, the inner skirt should have a split in the front and the outer skirt an opening in the front ? Otherwise - you look great nice work.

I used velcro, since it wont be visible with both the belt and cape hiding the closure.

I made the sleeves ribs also around 1 inch in between

Congrats

Yes, it has to be as on the picture - I made it with 1½-2 hands wide, depending on, how wide the person is, who will wear it

I´ve had a problem with this CRL since last year, where I tried to get it fixed regarding the two skirts, so it´s nice to see it getting the right words back with the outer and inner skirt Other than that - looks good

Mine was way off - thanks for the info

I agree with the two other comments The gloves needs to be replaced I also pinned the cape on the shoulders with snaps, to get it to drape down the back. And if you put it over/behind your shoulders, the lenght should be fine - otherwise it´s an easy fix, better to long, than to short, when one have to fix it

That´s great ! Congrats

Hi and welcome There are a lot of great info in the WIP´s - if you go to the part marked for Darth Talon - http://www.theflagshipeclipse.com/forums/index.php?/forum/107-darth-talon/ Looking forward to see your WIP

There are a few vendors, but I´m not sure, how many of those still makes items for the Visas Marr. The patterns for the inner- and outerdress are to work with and you can find the patterns for the golden pattern and the pinwheels for the outerdress in some of the WIP threads. Most of us have done our costumes mostly or all by ourselves

No sadly on the outerdress you´ll need to paint it directly on - but if you use the stencil, which is in one of the WIP´s, it´s no so difficuelt.

You´re on the right track here, and if you put the closure on - it will pull the headpiece closer, so you wont have the bulk on top. And I would cut the form a bit more by the chin, so you don´t get it to sit as far in the front... I think, that you´re ready for the leather - just remember, wet, shape, dry, wet, shape, dry, as many times as you need to get it shaped... it´s a hard work...

I actually used heat vinyl transfer "Gold" instead - much easier. It takes some time to cut out the pattern, but it is so worth it Here is a link : http://www.ebay.com/itm/Siser-Easyweed-Heat-Transfer-Vinyl-15-x-5-Yards-FREE-SHIPPING-Over-35-colors-/121210150857

No. 2

Thanks for clearing it up, I´ll remember that DHere in Denmark, they are called "geværknapper" - roughly translated to gunscrews

You did it The only thing, that just caught my eye, are your sleeves on the outerdress - I would shorten them a bit in an angle. Otherwise you look great ! good work on both versions and good luck on the approvals...

Tips on making the headpiece - It can be a real pain, but if the mock up doesn´t work for you, then you need to move on and use leather. You can buy a cheap piece of leather to try with first, you need to make it wet and reshape it over several days, before it gets the right form. It is a long term project, but so worth it in the end Try and take a look at some of the WIP´s in here to see others process

You can make the belt yourself - it´s not that hard. I made the belt for one of our garrisons members - I took two black leatherstraps, one about 5 cm wide and one around 1,2-1,5 cm wide + 8 "gun screws" ? don´t know, what they are calle and some velcro to make a closure in the back. Link for the screws, so you have an idea about how they look - these need to be painted black : http://skindladen.dk/gevaerknapper-146 You don´t need a lightsaber for approval, so you have all the time in the world to find a good one Have fun !
