Jedi Costume

I was commissioned to make a Jedi robe to be worn at a ComicCon. This was a really fun project, I'm happy with the final product and so is my client.

This was the inspiration - a playable character from the Star Wars online game:

 Final product - hard to get a sense of it on a hanger - it really needs some shoulders in there.

I also got to make my first-ever pair of gloves. I was staying up late to finish them and ran out to the store. When the clerk mentioned how tired she was, I commiserated and added, "Yeah, me too - and I still have to stay up late making gloves." I'm still giggling over it and the look on her face.

Here's the outfit in action:

Found a really awesome fabric that looks like leather but is in fact a lightweight washable knit. Love this stuff!

Belt tubing is made of irrigation parts plus silver and black spray paint.
I love, love, love making costumes!
