Padme's Osha Aniseya (The Acolyte) Cave Outfit(s) Build

[SassenachSkywalker]

Hi everyone! I absolutely loved The Acolyte and I am happy to start a build thread for this super comfy Osha outfit! I have been mostly in the research phase, but I am hoping to start this build very soon. To start, I do have a rough write-up started as well as an album of reference images. I'll link the gallery here :)

 

Here's an overview of my build plans;

- Wig: I have 3B/3C curls, but I am dedicated to my current hairstyle. As such I have been looking for a wig either already curled, or a wig I can curl, in as close colors as possible. I might have to custom dye a wig but we shall see! For a visual idea, here's a few ideas I found from Amazon and a couple other wig websites; wig 1, wig 2, wig 3, wig 4, wig 5

 

- Hoodie: I think my current plan is to use my favorite knit shirt pattern (Simplicity 9226), modifying it by cropping it in the right spot, adding the under layer, and extending the sleeves/adding the shoulder cut-outs. I'll probably dig through my stash for a hood pattern, but otherwise I might be able to draft it myself. For fabric, I am thinking of using either ponte de roma knit or scuba knit. I am not ready for the possibility of dyeing more grey fabric so I am hoping to find some already in the correct color.

- Pants: They look like pretty simple leggings. I have a couple of patterns for leggings, but might also try my hand at pattern drafting if I can't find a pre-made pair. I'll be making them from a charcoal grey ribbed knit.

 

- Boots: Looking at references, they appear to be calf-height black leather boots with a suede over layer and flat soles. I'll probably look around for a base pair of leather boots (either second-hand or I'll look online too!) and add the suede myself.

- Saber: My cosplay partner HiraethSolo is working on Qimir, so I'll probably lovingly borrow it from him. I'm not sure what he wants to do though, so I will look at options

 

- Knife: I am looking at one of these options on Etsy, and hopefully will print them myself once the printer is working. ImperialArmorSurplus or BigFredsCustoms.

- Tank top configuration: The tank top configuration removes the hoodie and is a matching rib knit as the pants. It also features her arm tattoo. I'll probably design some temporary tattoos, and will make the tank top myself unless I can find the tank top and pants in the wild to purchase.

 

Let me know if you have any questions or advice!
