Hey Team!

 

Just posting to say Hi! Going to be starting this costume after some pushing from Moxxie and Tirilia from the Redback Garrison. Cheers Ladies! Thanks for the push!

Hi and welcome to the forum.

 

Looking forward to follow your build - this costume is also for dual membership of both the 501st. Legion and the Rebel Legion, if you want to join both clubs  

 

Have fun and I´ll keep an eye out for your WIP...

RESEARCH

 

I tend to be a person who likes to break things down! So here I go!

 

Reference Photos

1. good for whole costume views, not so much for the gloves

 

2. better for the gloves

 

3. original poster for the game

 

Over Dress and Trimmings

Materials for the over dress I am looking at a matte leather recommended to me by Moxxxie, she also recommended getting 5yards of it and not the 4 the pattern recommended for the dress. There was limited stretch in the material. I am lucky that Moxxxie is helping me along with this one. She also has her original stencil for the pattern on the over dress.

 

Veil, Underdress and Trimmings

Veil and Underdress are made of the same red material with blue tones. Easy done. Getting it to fit me, well, That will be interesting. I work best with stretch materials over non-stretch materials. Will be heading down to my local Spotlight to scope out the materials this week and find a pattern or two that I like. Trimmings on the veil will be stencilled onto the veil and gloves in pearl paint or maybe into a pleather like gold and attached. Depends on how I feel.

 

Sash

Redder in the more brighter colours and in stretch. When I go to spotlight I will compare swatches and make sure they match the CRL.

 

Gloves

Heading onto eBay, found these gloves, like the length and price

 

Boots

Black boots, no trimmings. Will likely use my Mara Jade boots

 

Makeup

Lucky I own a heap of makeup. Have the right shade of lipstick.

 

I think I have covered all my thoughts in this post. Will be buying some gear later this week! Hope I have covered the basic's, let me know what you think.

Cheers!

Very nice progress and research - but do look at the CRL please, if you want to get it approved in the Legion, because not all your ref. pics can be used.
