Thanks! I'll see how it goes.

Should I just reach out to him via direct message on the main 501st forums?

Yes, I was worried about that.

I published this post in the main welcome forum, but I figured it might also be useful to post in this more specialized forum. Right now I am working on Barriss Offee's Asajj Ventress disguise and I would love some feedback on what type of boots are acceptable. I am considering purchasing this pair of boots, since the heel and arch of the shoe seem to closely resemble the CRL photos of an approved costume: https://www.mercari.com/us/item/m93040300038/?gclsrc=aw.ds&&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=12877497088&utm_content=t0&adgroup=121903074456&network=g&device=c&merchant_id=144653631&product_id=m93040300038&product_id=299367268755&gclid=Cj0KCQjwwY-LBhD6ARIsACvT72PYJmIwgtkPM0T8AGnBEJg4RqrUmhp-bl5yVCnLpoUFuY5_ADg2kWUaAguTEALw_wcB If you browse the photo gallery posted by the seller, the toes of the boots also appear to have a square shape. CRL photos: https://databank.501st.com/databank/Costuming:DS-Barriss_Offee:_Asajj_Disguise My plan is to cut off the over-the-knee part and the braided leatherwork and bring in the top of the boot to develop the accentuated calf shape. (I have leather working experience, so I'm not overly concerned about my ability to execute this). I would then cover the whole shoe with a layer of suede that matches the design from TCW. I know this will be a bit of a stretch, so if I get a hard "no", does anyone have any recommendations for cobblers who will do commissions at a relatively affordable (<$500) price? Thanks!

Hi Everyone! My name is Arielle and I am a member of the Rebel Legion, but I am also interested in trooping at 501st events, so I figured I'd apply. I live in Los Angeles, so I would be a member of the Southern California Garrison.
