So I found a Costume I want to work on to get approved for the 501st legion,I dont have any sewing skills,So I have a freind thats going to hand sew me,Mara Jades Gray Poncho & Add the Gray Cuff detailing onto My Unitard that I bought off ebay 

I need some help from anyone who has made this costume allready,What is fabric did you all use for the poncho & for the medium gray cuffs on the unitard? I'm not able to find a local seamtress to help me sew this costume must work with those that have some form of sewing skills,Do hope i can get this costume approved,even if the sewing wont be done on a machine

Hello!

Not only have I made this costume, but I also developed/modeled the CRL 😃

 

To answer your questions, I used silk charmeuse for the poncho and a nylon/spandex blend for the arm inserts (same blend I made the black part of the unitard from). I purchased both in white and dyed them to match the comic. The silk is pretty pricey, so if you're looking for a less expensive alternative, I think rayon would also work well.

 

Check out my build thread. It's super detailed and includes lots of pictures, so hopefully you will find it helpful! Feel free to message me as well if you have more questions 🙂
