A yellow or gold vinyl and a gem/jewel?

Well I have now finished this costume and have submitted it for 501st and Rebel Legion approval. Here are some final pictures taken at the Port Huron Fighting Falcons game: http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b33/miradarkstar/Mara%20Jade%20Costume%20In%20Progress/ActionPose.jpg http://i16.photobucket....

Count me in! Now to figure out what to work on.

I would start with a PVC pipe (that's what i am using for my Yuna staff) and then maybe do wood, sculpty, foam or something else for the key notches.

Sounds like fun, I love armor parties. I'm just not sure what I'll be working on at the time.

The Matte stuff.

Looks good Heather! You're almost there. You look on track to beating your sister in joining the 501st.* :lol: *nothing like a little (sibling) rivalry to help get costumes completed quickly. :wink: Hey, it worked for me and MamaWags and we weren't even siblings. :thumbs: Well she lives closer to o...

Okay finished up the Obi decoration tonight and re-pinned the top, to make it look a little more like the reference pictures. And made the decision to attach the white top to the black bikini top using two snaps on each side. (To bad I don't have any right now) :mad: http://i16.photobucket.com/album...

Okay a little more has been done on this costume. Tonight I worked on the beading that hangs down from the flower on the Obi. I used a dowel rod, sculpty, eye screws, floss, spray paint and of course creativity. http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b33/miradarkstar/Yuna%20WIP/DSCN0597.jpg http://i16.ph...

A small update for this costume. I tried making the black bra myself and that didn't work out as well as I had hoped so I ordered a bikini top off e-bay, which I just got today. Also started making the white part of the top, here are a few pictures of trying the draping to get the look right. When c...

Here are a few pictures of the test sewing on the Matte fabric that I am leaning towards: With Flash http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b33/miradarkstar/Mara%20Jade%20Costume%20In%20Progress/DSCN0586.jpg Without Flash http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b33/miradarkstar/Mara%20Jade%20Costume%20In%20Pro...

I think I am a little to young to be an aunt.

Okay so one more snag happened with the bodysuit and we are going to start from scratch. I am also looking at maybe a different fabric, the matte look. From the samples pictures it would be the bottom one. http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b33/miradarkstar/Mara%20Jade%20Costume%20In%20Progress/DSCN0...

Well I thought I would be done today but ran into a few setbacks unfortunately. *sighs* So for my shinguards and knee pads I have been gluing very diligently, and with the elastic for the shinguards I did not leave a big enough gap so had to rip them apart and re-glue. For the front Velcro/shim clos...

And I am officially approved.

I think people will have a difficult time "borrowing" it, it is in there very snugly. lol
