Musings From the Realm

::Eponian Jedi Robes::

-Fabrics-

This is the fabric I am using for the "tunic"/top. The color is showing in the first picture much darker here than it really is, the others are closer to the actual color. The fabric is a combed broadcloth.

This is the fabric for the Surcoat, glove and headdress. The first picture is the best representation of the color. The fabric is a gauzy crinkle cotton, which seems to be similar to the fabric used for many of the jedi costumes in Episode II.

-Trims and accesories-

I purchaced mesh armwarmers similar to these fishnet ones. They will be used as a guide to make a pair from the crinkle cotton of the surcoat.

This was one of the first things I bought when planning this costume. I grabbed it up for fear it migt be gone when I got around to making this. This first picture is a better look at the detail, while the second shows the color of the one I selected.

I came across these beautiful bone buttons at JoAnn's, and decided they would be perfect for the waist of the surcoat.

These are the beads I will be using on the surcoat's trim. They are also part of the assorment of beads I'm using on the armband and the surcoat's beaded strands.

These are the other beads being used for the armband and beaded strands.

These beads are used only for the beaded strands, as they are too large for the armband. The beads in the last picture are being used for the ends of each strand.

This is a rock I found while on a hike. I am using it as a "shard" of the planet Alderaan on a part of the armband (see bottom half of the sketch).

-Item List-

The List
Here is an itemized list of the materials and bought or found items I am using for this costume. Some of the prices are just guesses, while others I was able to find on packages or receipts.
