    You´re welcome - glad to be able to assist :wink:

    I totally agree with Lorelei - you need to contact the seller and get her to redo the outerdress and gloves - you´ve paid for a approvable costume, and the seller was fully aware of the corrections needed. 

     

    Help with robes

    As already mentioned - no wrap unless you mean the pleats ?  

    One V-opening in front from the shoulders to the waist and it stops at the belt.  There are pleats from the shoulders all the way down to the floor on the front of the dress in both sides of the skirt, and there shall be some gathering of the fabric on the back of the lower skirt but not like the pleats in front.

    Hello greetings from Denmark

    We did have a run of this patch, but it was only for our Academy members - next time we do one, I´ll pass the information to this board to 
    Perhaps one of our members still have one for trading ?  sadly all of mine have been traded/gifted away.

    It looks really odd and some places it is smeared... 

    These are the patterns that are used for the pinwheels, which can also be found here on the forum. Don´t know, what she is doing, but it do not look right.

    Questions on COTF Nihilus

    in Darth Nihilus

    Hi all!

    I am looking to put together a COTF Nihilus. From the research I’ve done thus far, it seems that most people go with WA, but I noticed some discussion stating that it is not approvble as-is. From what I’ve gathered from statements on the boards, WA has long ago fixed the issue with the robes not having the proper under tunic, but the remaining issue is that the mask has 3 instead of 2 ovals on either side of the center oval on the top of the mask. Is that correct? I’m currently in contact with my GMLs to hear back on their opinion of the set, but I wanted to make sure I was understanding the situation properly.

    My next question is regarding the boots. I have large calves and big feet, so it’s more difficult to find boots that fit me properly. I’m looking at a pair that has an elastic band running down the back to accommodate larger calves. Would something like that be acceptable, providing everything else in the CRL is adhered to?

    As for the lightsaber, where are people getting theirs? I’m currently looking at this one: https://www.etsy.com/listing/557189726/star-wars-kotor-custom-darth-nihilus?ref=hp_rf-2&pro=1   but I can’t tell if it’s quite correct.

     

    Thanks for any insight you can provide!

    Hi welcome to the forum 
    I have not seen a newer WA COFT, but if he has redone the robes/tunics and they follow the CRL as stated here : http://databank.501st.com/databank/Costuming:SL_darth_nihilus    then it should be okay as long as it fits you.  Regarding the mask - yes, for the COFT version, it needs to be a skull like mask, and it only have 2 ovals on either side of the center oval.  

    Boots, I have large calves too and it is a real pain to find a good pair of boots -  since your cape and robes will cover your boots on the backside, you can ask your GML team if they will allowe it, since it is okay to have a zipper on the back. 

    Lightsaber is not needed for approval :wink:  -  I did a quick google search and found this one   : https://www.etsy.com/dk-en/listing/557189726/star-wars-kotor-custom-darth-nihilus?ga_order=most_relevant&ga_search_type=all&ga_view_type=gallery&ga_search_query=darth+nihilus+lightsaber&ref=sr_gallery-1-1&referring_page_type=market&pro=1    

    Starting a Treya. Questions about hair and wimple

    Hi 

    I made the wimple out of thin lycra, so it didn´t get so hot and could breathe, then the wig  and the headpiece - as already mentioned, it could affect the fit, if your wimple is being cut out.  
    Advice - try with a normal wimple and the a cut out to see, if it would work - though I haven´t had problems with being to hot here in Denmark ;-)

    Lightsaber for Traya

    Hi and welcome to the detachment. 

    When I made my Traya (now retired/sold)  I got my saber custom made by Hamptons, because I could not find any saber firm, that had one. 

    I am not sure, if there are any right now, but you do not need the saber for approval, since it is an optional accessorie.  Unless you troop at a canon event, you can use any saber with a red blade, if your EC allowes it - but yes, a saber, that looks like the one on the CRL :   http://databank.501st.com/databank/Costuming:SL_traya    , will be best.

    Perhaps we have a member or more, who can chip in regarding a place to buy the saber ??  ;-)

    Hi 

    I would like to make a proposal to a change for the CRL  Darth Traya : 

    CRL states :

    Makeup 

    • Light colored makeup is used to create a pale skinned look.
    • The lipstick is dark grape or burgundy in tone.
    • There are pink toned shadows under the eyes.
    • A light charcoal gray color runs from the lashes lines to eyebrows.
    • The eyebrows are gray-black in tone, and are darker than the hair.

     

    Proposal : 

    Makeup 

    • Light colored makeup is used to create a pale skinned look.
    • The lipstick is dark grape or burgundy in tone.
    • There are pink toned shadows under the eyes.
    • A light charcoal gray color runs from the lashes lines to eyebrows.
    • The eyebrows are gray-black in tone, and are darker than the hair.
    • Light colored makeup may be used to create a pale skinned look on the right hand.

    Ref.pics can be found already here : 

       Looking forward to hear, what you all think about this ;-)

    Hi greetings and welcome to the forum 

    I am actually in the work of making a proposal to change the CRL for Darth Traya and add the coloring of her hand as a level 2, but for now - no to the coloring for a basic approval, normal skin tone is fine  ;-)

    Hello 

    Welcome to our forum - I have see a couple of Visas Marr costumes from this vendor and sadly there are some problems regarding it.  

    First, as Blane already stated, the sleeves are not long nor open enough, the grey stripes on the gloves are to dark, the veil is also not formed right - the forhead piece is to high.  The pinwheel pattern looks odd, as if the paint has smeared out and it is to dark in color.

    If you look at one of the other buyers of this costume, it does nok look as the one on the sale post, which is made several years ago, when the owner was approved in the RL  + I know of one, who has bought one from her last year, that is also made in a different way.  
    As you can see on this pic (other buyer), the veil is off - it should lay flat and not have the fold around the face, the pinwheel pattern is different, the sleeves on this one seams to be too open/big, gloves has different silver lines + does not fit at all. 

    If you can get her to make the sleeves on the innerdress (as on the pic in the sale thread)  longer and a bit more open, that would work + the veil needs to get the forhead made smaller, it is to high.  The outerdress - well, if the pattern can be more sharp in the lines + in a bit lighter grey color, that could work.  

    Perhaps you can ask her about these things and see, if she is willing to redo the pieces ?
