It seems to me that either route would result in modifications made (either making the opening larger or smaller to hug the face in the correct way). So I thank you for your suggestion.

Yes, ma'am. I am aware of those requirements. I just believe in being thrifty. I'd rather spend more on good quality leather than on a wimple that is going to be mostly covered up. Hehe The balaclava seems to be made from fabric intended for the purpose of keeping a person warm (cold weather item). Where the hejab is made with fabric to keep the wearer cool (modesty clothing). As I am in Southern California having cooler fabric is a must to avoid things like heat stroke. I was able to locate a 'ninja hejab' that is a tight fitting one intended to be worn under an over scarf for under $5. Maybe I'll give the modification a try. The important part is that I adhere to the requirements, correct? Thank you for your direction. It is much appreciated.

Perhaps not as is, but if I modified it could it work? My thought is that from a cost perspective it would be cheaper to purchase this and modify it than the materials to make it from scratch.

Hello, I am brand-spankin-new and working on my very first costume for the 501st. In looking at the wimple for Darth Traya, I was curious if a hijab could be used? Here is an example of one I found on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Black-piece-Al-Amira-Style-Hijab/dp/B003PV8K3A/ref=pd_bxgy_misc_img_y Any input is appreciated! ~Desdæmona
