Thanks for the tips,
The outer Tunic which people can attest to that have seen it in person looks like real leather/suade mix. Its a very cool looking fabric and we searched FOREVER to find just the right one. We thought it matched the actual CG of the game perfectly. The Shiny faux vinyl leather fabric just didn't look or flow right IMO.
As for the sleeves we've played wiht them and the bunched at the wrist look can be acheived by tightrolling the sleeves ( similar to what those of that grew up in the eighties are probably guilty of doing to our jeans) April liked the longer flowing sleeves better and thats where we hid her blaster holsters so she can seem to pull them out of nowhere like the game.
Hopefully april can make it to the trolly run and you can check it out my piss-poor photography skills don't do it justice...if only we had a proffesional FETTographer that was a member, he could probably get the right lighting on the dress
We have a saber from Random sabers on order but it's been almost a year...it should be worth the wait though, I've see Rhonda's sabers and they are awesome for the price. In the mean time we have the custom hilt and blasters I whipped up.
Originally we hadn't planned on submitting the costume but figured that hell if everyone else was doing it we might as well too. I hope the legion approves it for everyone because as i flip thru the SL ranks there isn't much choice for females......I mean seriously theres like 50 Mara Jades Let's break it up people!!! Visas is a very cool looking character definately as cool as the other KOTOR characters they allow so...I'm crossing my fingers
