  1. Hello, SL-90126 requesting 501st and Detachment access. Just got approved this afternoon for SL - Visas Marr: Unseen, Unheard. http://www.501st.com/members/displaymemberdetails.php?userID=31314 Thank you!
  2. I would like to add that I did give her the pattern posted here and she said she liked it much better than the one she had so perhaps she will use it for future designs. She was very friendly. I was going to reach out to her if I did not get approval but I also noted that another reviewer on her page mentioned that they had an issue with their outfit (they did not state the nature of the issue) and they said she worked with them to fix it.
  3. One of the leaders of the local group said I should go ahead and submit it since my character is the only one in our regional group. I got approved after a slight lipstick change so it's all good now. I'm the only Visas in MN so maybe they went easy on me I'm SL90126 of the Centeral Garrison now!
  4. I forgot to reply in this group, I got the costume, I think the pattern still looks off and is obviously smugdy looking in places, but we're going to a gathering tomorrow at someone's house for costume fixes/prop making so I'm hoping maybe I can make some adjustments. I was mostly concerned with having to do tailoring so paint doesn't concern me nearly as much. We forgot to zip the costume and I forgot to put on my boots in these pics so I think that's why the shoulders look funny and you can't see the slit revealing the under dress, not sure about the sleeves...I haven't contacted her yet, been a bit busy with life. The sash has like a clasp thing that keeps it together as well as stitching. The gloves are REALLY tight on my arms so not sure if they are a one size fits all kind of thing or what but might get another pair from spirit of Halloween or another costume shop, although my boyfriend said he thinks we can rip the seams and add either a stretchy material to let them expand or something (he's more confident in that department than I am). She asked for pretty detailed measurements but not of my arms. Maybe I'll contact her and ask about the gloves at the very least. From a tailoring standpoint I'm glad I found someone to help me with the overall costume/seams. I sent some pics and a for review at the urging of my boyfriend (I know there are rather obvious flaws and wanted to fix them BEFORE submitting but he was insistent so here we are). I'm going to use black paint and see if I can redo the pinwheels with the pattern in this thread (thank you Heavy 1973) she said the pattern was much better than the one she had but then she didn't go back and redo it.
  5. So this is the pattern she painted, I have reservations but she said she got it from the CLR Visas Marr board (here?) Thoughts? I just don't know how I would fix it if it doesn't get approved...
  6. Hello, I reached out to the seller (Tabitha) and she said she will work with me on getting the outfit more to CRL: I fully understand. I have worked on the pattern and have changed the sleeves so they are fuller/longer. And I agree about the veil. When I get to that point, I can send you pictures so you can make sure it looks right. I don't mind you sharing your concerns. Please let me know and I will try to get you the best information about what I'm doing that I can to set your mind at ease. Sincerely,Tabitha So it does seems that she genuinely wants to help put things right. I'll let you all know how it turns out, I took the gamble.
  7. Oh cool! Yeah I'm hoping to find someone who will sew the costume for me. I met a lady on Etsy but she's starting college so she said it could take her up to four months vs 4-6weeks to complete the outfit for me. If you know anyone that would be willing to take on a project like that I'm willing to pay for the time, effort and skill (I'm hopeless with a sewing machine,lol)
  8. Hello All, I currently reside in Minnesota and am looking to join the Central Garrison. I'd like to do both Visas Marr (Unseen Unheard) and Iden Versio, I have several components for Versio because my boyfriend was hoping we could be in the same detachment but thought Visas looked pretty and a little more obtainable cost wise. I'm joining because my boyfriend is super passionate about Star Wars and I love all of the event opportunities to get involved with the community
