Officer's uniform
Officer's uniform
Since the armor guy for my scout is going through some things I think I'm going to make myself an Officer. I'm going to have a General costume because General Veers stomped on those rebels but good. I have the Mcalls pattern and quite a few reference pics that I hope should help with the alterations.
After reading many threads I still have one question, is there a correct shade of grey for the fabric?

I found an online store that sells the chalk holder used as a code cylinder, and for reasons unknown to me they're giving me a permanent discount of 15% off.
So as of now I have the code cylinders lined up from there, the greeblies from elvis trooper, the hat pattern from the Officer Corp forums, the Mcall's pattern, and someone that will sew everything up for free. I just need to sort out the boots, belt, rank, and the proper shade of grey fabric.

According to the imperial officer detachment website the color is closest to coats and clark thread color "smoke"

I have never dealt with Costume Bay myself, so what I am about to say is third hand.... so take it with a grain of salt until somebody that HAS dealt with them can speak up.
Talking to various people for other costumes, I have only heard bad things about them. Was told they are very slow and the quality is so-so. I was warned to stay away from them.
Hopefully somebody that has dealt with them first-hand can speak up with their results.

Lack of Progress report
I'm sorry I haven't been here for a while, lots of things going on. Sadly I have no progress on my Officer, the person sewing it up for me has other projects ahead of mine.

I'm sewing Brandon's grand admiral for Dragon*Con. If your seamstress doesn't start yours in the next 4 weeks, I could probably do it for you. No time until after DCon, though. Just a thought!

Thanks for the offer, I may take you up on that. I have the civil war patterns, thread, and the cloth. I just need everything else to make the uniform (liner, stiffening stuff to make the collar stand up, ect)
