Hi All
My name is Daniel. In 2012 at the GC Supanova while walking around in my very dodgy Vader "costume" I saw some of you guys have pics taken ect I was impressed with all your out fits. So I have decided to take the plunge and get an outfit fitting of the Redback's. I thought about whom I would want to try first taking "cooling" into consideration I decided to go with Maul. Then started reading what was involved
But I shall rise to the challenge. I may be the only male in the sewing class I will be doing but hey I never never been one to run away from a room full of insane Women. After checking out the CRL I looked into TB's book Dressing a Galaxy. What better place to look than the chick who made it.
But all she says about Mauls costume is:
The black, layered, kimono-style underrobes of Darth Maul, with varying lengths of split and hanging skirts, allowed for a great deal of movement during his extensive, complex fight sequences. His cloak, inspired by a photograph of a Tibetan lama taken about 1940, was made of hand-dyed, coarsely woven silk-and-linen fabric. Its many shoulder to ankle length circular pieces were sunray-pleated, creating a narrow silhouette when motionless, but in combat swirling out into a full circular shape, like a fabric Shuriken (Ninja throwing blade) cutting through the air
