TOPIC: Female Jedi Cosplay - Custom

So I wanted to make an outfit for the Marathon/Premiere of EpVII at my local theatre and decided to throw together a Jedi Cosplay - Since I've already got a Sith and Dark Jedi, this was the logical next choice. I ended up finishing the Outer Robes the night before and I love how it all came together.

The only lame thing is that out of the 24 hrs that I was at the theatre (waiting in line and 18hrs of movie time) there were only 3 others in costume and I only received 2 comments of any kind. Sure there were stares, but it seems that my town has a severe lack of super nerds or ppl who enjoy cosplay.... Whatever. ^_^

SO here are some WIP pics and then final product pics for you.

Impressive! How many yards of fabric did that end up being? I'm just starting out crafting my outfit. And did you do those stitches yourself? They look amazing!

Thanks! ^_^ the stitching on the collar is with my machine.

The Outer Robe was about 8 yards
The pants and tunic were probably 6-7 yards (not totally sure, since I was just working with my own vision and only used a pattern for the basis) and that doesn't include the liner that's sewn in as well.
The Tabards and obi were probably 2 yards

As always, looks very authentic! Fantastic!

Abosolutly fantastic work. Love the color palette you chose for it. Really awesome work my friend!

Thanks guys!!! ^_^ I love green, so that was an easy decision for me. I'm so glad to get your feed back on it! ^_^

1.) I want to be friends with you. I'd cosplay at the movies with ya!

2.) That outfit is dope as hell.

3.) What materials/fabrics did you use?

One day, you need to come to Portland so we can cosplay randomly. Daniel will join us, I'm sure. Lol

That's too bad; it looked awesome! I went to one of the marathons too (drove two hours to the closest theater that was doing it!), and there were also only a few people dressed up (a guy in Jedi robes and 2 young girls dressed as ANH Leia and Geonosis Arena Padme), but that was because just about everyone else was in pajamas. I at least wore my AT-AT schematic shirt and Boba Fett hoodie.

And a functional R2 unit showed up, which was cool.



Maybe when episode VIII come out I'll throw something together for the premiere. Been thinking about a clone war armored Jedi for a while now...Should probably wait until my saber comes in before I get ahead of myself...

As always your costume looks amazing!
I really like the green color.

I'm a little late to this thread, but your outfit is incredible! Great job!

This makes me wish I payed more attention in textiles so so so good!

Thanks guys! I really appreciate the feedback! More can be seen here: www.facebook.com/aletaniacklay

I have done only one or two years of textiles type classes, otherwise, this is just from growing up in a creative household and working to gain experience and better my skills.

Wow.




love it. The little details add the touches to make it feel real.
