First Costume (Sith Lord)

[Ayshun]

I wanted to make a Female Sith costume I can use for Halloween and Comicon/Anime Expo. I have the time this week to devote to making it.. I'd love any suggestions for a first time sewer haha

I was thinking something Darth Talon/Aayla Secura inspired:
- black hooded cloak with arm slits (may use McCall's 8936 pattern w/XL Hood)
- over the knee boots
- long gloves
- can't decide between pants or shorts
- bandage style bikini top
- armor (probably to be added after Halloween)

with tarnished gold accessories (belt, jewelry, etc).
I'm working on the rest of the details ... maybe drawings up soon?

I just wanna be a hot Asian Sith Lord XD
I'm obviously excited and have done some research.

I'd just appreciate some input, suggestions, short cuts hahaha ..
Thank in advance !

Interesting concept. Derivative.

I'd recommend pants over shorts. Secura wore form-fitting pants and Talon wore thigh-high boots, seems to be a trend.


Unfortunately I can't offer you more than that, not being much of a costumer myself (might change soon). We'd love to see pictures, though, once its done and at various stages.



Oh, and welcome to the board.

Thanks for the input
& the greeting. Its definitely appreciated

Since this will be my first project I'll be taking A LOT of pics hahaha .. just need to document every step of the way.

If I wore pants instead of thigh high boots, I'd go with a liquid legging (looks like a faux leather) .. very light weight and fashionable hah.

Ironically a lot of my costume can be found at forever21 ... minus the cloak and shirt I may need to modify for my top.
