This will be the beginning of the WIP for Gens Mara bday suit.
I have this costume personally, and have enjoyed making/tweaking the bodysuit pattern to fit and look ok on a body.
Gen was in need of help building this for her first approval to 501/RL/TDE/SG, and came to visit me for help. An 11 hour drive to get to me on a whim. SO FUN!
A most amazing weekend together getting to know one another, meet future garrison family and become steps closer to approvals.
I’ll finish the suit today, then come back here with the journey, and sewing help and info for anyone wishing to read.
Here’s the pic from last night before we left my sewing shack.
More photos to come , going back first to fabric choices and pattern tweaking to custom fit her body.

Greetings from Hoth!
Well, actually Northern Alberta Canada.
SoulArt/TK-41307/Geeky Pink Gaskets
I am currently a proud member of The Badlands Garrison of which I am PR Officer of for the past few years, as well as Squad Leader of newly formed Crimson Aurora in the North of Alberta Canada.
I have been trying to complete a Mara Jade-Black body suit for years. Ugh. Exasperating! Discouraging!
In the hope I could lose some weight for myself only, to feel comfortable in the costume and do it the Justice I wanted her to have. (It’s unforgiving and I feel super self conscious in it, but I promised some Garrison family come hell or high water I’d finish it and submit. Regardless if I ripped myself out of my comfort zone.)
Here I am...
ripping myself out of it, and posting some pics until I take better submission photos for 501st, Saber Guild and Rebel Legion and replace my current zipper with an invisible one.
I’d like to start a WIP and post help for all those trying to create this dang body suit. Offer sewing help. I’d like to redo my cape, and create both a brown and another tan. I have both a Black and Tan cowl as well.
I’m currently submitting with a Vader red bladed saber for 501st, and purple blade for Saber.
I’m awaiting my Emperors Hand saber from Ultra Sabers. (For Rebel approval)
To be honest, the upcoming shirt was also my big rush to get this completed. So I could actually have it!)
When I have photos I feel are submission worthy, I’ll post my approval.
I’m very excited to FINALLY finally have her done, and excited to join Saber and Rebel!
Please do point me in the direction to begin a build thread. I hope I can be helpful to others.
Thank you all for your time.
(Nina... for allowing me to message you with pics to prove I was REALLY working on her!)
