Padawan_Ra'Zen Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 is it quite hard to make a jedi costume as i was thinking of cosplaying as a jedi knight next year  Not really man, I'm following the Rebel Legion costuming standards, you should sign up to the forum, they've got some awesome tutorials But yeah, it's actually pretty easy. I'm waiting on a swatch of material coming through for my tunic, if it's right, I'll link you to the materials I'm using :) A longer version of these curtains is my cloak: http://www.tesco.com/direct/tesco-plain-canvas-unlined-pencil-pleat-curtains-w168xl137cm-66x54-chocolate/206-2705.prd?pageLevel=&skuId=206-2705 I went for the 6ft x 9ft ones, one curtain is perfect for the body of the cloak for me, and I'm built like a tank XD 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inga Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 @TheLaird what day are you doing Grantaire? want to make sure we get our pic together!!!!

TheLaird Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 (edited) @TheLaird what day are you doing Grantaire? want to make sure we get our pic together!!!! Â My only cosplay I'm doing is Grantaire, so it'll be both days, unless I decide to go in my own clothes on one day. That probably won't happen though! :-) Â Thinking about either a potter or a who costume for my second cos. Running out of time!

I've got two (I've just whipped up a simple TARDIS dress) so I'll likely do Enjolras on the Saturday and TARDIS on Sunday, since my hair will take more effort on the Saturday morning. Â I'll hunt you down for a picture! And possibly a song. Edited August 16, 2013 by Inga Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OverGeek Posted August 19, 2013 Author Share Posted August 19, 2013 I'm also hopefully going to be wearing self made robes and a cloak for my costume next year, looking to up the ante on my skills. Exciting and kinda nervous about taking the next step, though if it works out to plan it should be pretty badass! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
