I appreciate the feedback! 🥰
Its been a huge worry with each cut I made on this thing. Even tho I always measure 5 times, mark it out, test fit, etc. I'm too much of a "I wanna get this done in one shot" kinda person lol. I've got the old seamstress coming to give me a hand with the hood because I have absolutely zero idea where to start with it! And she use to make all my costumes when I was younger so it'll be nice to have that help and knowledge face to face with me.
I'll be starting the cape either tonight or a bit later in the week as we have plans for the Young Padawans to head out a couple days this week for some Galaxy Exploring!
Dude my jaw is dropped absolutely beautiful! You did a fantastic job on it congratulations:)

There are plenty of resources all over these forums and using google will also lead you in the right direction.
Being a visual learner is great as that how I learn, but to show you pictures of the finished products is a very minor part in the process of getting there, having the proper equipment is a big part as well as the know how on sewing. Without those last two, pictures will only get you so far.
Back to my WIP
I was able to score 8.2m of the proper material today (took in my sample piece to match lol) so I should be able to get the rest of the soft parts finished up this week as I am also off work until next Monday! 🤩🥳
My goal this week is to finish the split skirt with hems and a waist, the pleated cape and the hood and caplet.
I am also debating making the shirt myself as it'll be a bit harder to match the black of a bought turtle neck shirt to the material I have used for the handmade stuff.
I've also been able to get my hands on the armor files so we should be able to start 3d printing them here shortly once we are able to get them to slice properly!
QUESTION!
Which one is my best at approval down the road?
I’m going with the second picture that’s the one that I got approval to go ahead and print. Also I just am gonna use the picture as a visual image/ reference I know how to sew and I have all the tools I need the last piece is to just see someone else’s work then I’ll be good to go

You don't separate them, you make them separately. So, make one panel with the box pleat, then make an entirely different panel.
Do you have a picture I can see? I’m very visual when I come to learning things. (Also sorry I’m getting back to you so late literally just got the notification that I was messaged back)

The easiest way to do so is just make 2 separate panels. Then, you attach the panels with a waist band that is worn under the armor. My recommendation is to make a long loop band so that you can feed a belt through it and the excess strap can go back into the loop on the other side.
How do I separate the panels? Do you possibly have a picture I can see for a reference? I’m a very visual learner.

How do you add the split? Also that sucks you didn’t have enough I truly hope everything works out in your favor:)
-
When you made your split skirt did you make it so it wraps all the way around you or did you make it so your thigh and leg is visible?

Ok thanks:)

As much as I do not like them using the, "501st" in their sales page, this 3d file set is about as accurate to approvable as you will find that I am aware of.

Also, the hood is just sort of.....a modified enclosed hooded cape. Instead of having a full length cape, the front is connected permanently, and the back and sides are cut short and bunched up.
Is the helmet 501st approvable? -
Are there any good stl files for Darth Revans helmet I want a file that looks just like his helmet from KOTOR so I can get 501st approval on my costume.
