Costume components:

 

 

1. Red Hair: The costumer's hair or wig may be strawberry-blonde, red, or red-gold in color. The hair may reach from the shoulders to mid-back in length.

2. Cowl: The cowl is a length of fabric that is sewn into a tube. It is worn draped over the shoulders, or pulled up to cover the costumer’s hair. The cowl can be made from off-white, tan, or black fabric. If the cowl is worn over the hair, then the goggles are worn wrapped around the top of the head to hold the cowl in place.

3. Goggles: The goggles are brown or black, and they may be aviator or motorcycle style goggles. Round goggles with dark or amber lenses are also acceptable. The goggles may be worn wrapped around the top of the head, over the eyes, or draped around the neck.

4. Contact Lenses: If the costumer’s eyes are not naturally green, then green contacts are worn to replicate the color of Mara’s eyes.

 

While considered an essential part of this character, contact lenses are not required for 501st acceptance. All persons wishing to utilize contact lenses are encouraged to first see their optometrist for a fitting.

5. Jumpsuit: The black, one-piece jumpsuit is made from a medium-sheen material. Four-way stretch material should be used to allow freedom of movement while keeping the jumpsuit form fitting. The jumpsuit is sleeveless, and the shoulder straps are at least 3 cm wide. The neckline is round and does not go below the collarbone. From 6 to 10 quilted horizontal panels run down the legs from the front of each thigh to the inner leg seam, extending from the hips to knees. A long diamond shaped piece of fabric is sewn on the front of the jumpsuit, connecting the thigh panels and the stomach of the jumpsuit. Two rows of piping run from each shoulder down the front of the jumpsuit, bordering the outer edges of the thigh panels down to the knees. Two additional rows of piping may run down the back of the jumpsuit if desired. The zipper is placed in the center back seam. An invisible zipper is preferred.

6. Shoulder Harness: The straps for the shoulder harness are made from brown leather that is approximately 3 or 4 cm wide. A round silver connector is located at the center back, and the shoulder straps may attach to the connector with a 3-point or 4-point design. Silver metal clasps typically made from web belt slider buckles are located on the front of the shoulder straps, just above the armpits.

7. Gloves: Gloves may be worn in the following combinations: Long black motorcycle style gloves are worn without a cape or cowl. Off-white wrist length gloves are worn with an off-white cowl. Tan wrist length gloves are worn with a tan cowl. Or, black wrist length gloves are worn with a black cowl or the cape.

8. Belt: The belt is made from undecorated brown leather. The plain silver buckle is rectangular, and may have rounded edges. The buckle's clasp is hidden on the rear side of the buckle. A brown leather hanging belt strap drapes over the right hip. This strap is attached to the main belt under the front buckle and at the center back, and it is shaped to hang closely against the hip.

9. Shin and Knee Guards: The black knee pads and shin guards are made of a rigid material such as plastic or fiberglass. The knee pads are oval in shape. The shin guards extend from the knee to the ankle, with black padding worn underneath. The shin guards are worn over the boots and should be appropriately sized for the costumer. The shin and knee guards may be custom sculpted to match the designs used in the comics, or they may be based on the police style shin and knee pads used in the Decipher image of Mara.
