My new SVJ costume:

[Moxxxie]

Well, I decided to build an Atris costume. What's more, I need to get it finished in 2 weeks. Riiiiiight......

So.


It all started with bit of time studying KOTOR, and looking at the Costuming Standards, to work out how I was going to build it.



Next, I went down to the local fabric store and bought some supplies.

6m x white bridal satin
2m x iron on interfacing (for collars, and tabbards)

There's two main components to the costume that I needed to create. The undergarment (Kimono) and the tabbards.

Kimono:
I studied a few online traditional kimono patterns, and decided that I needed to slighly modify the pattern a bit, from the traditional Kimono design:

The sleeves are way to big, and the bottom of the skirt is way to narrow.

So, I ended up creating my own, very basic pattern:


And then I set about cutting, pinning, ironing, sewing and creating:



- Now, this final shot looks pretty big, because there's no Obi holing the waist in.

Tabbards:

I've then gone through my KOTOR files and found the digital game skin for Atris, so that I can duplicate the lines and the designs for the Tabbards:


Resized, copied, traced:


And now I'm going to embroider that design onto the satin (with interfacing behind it to stabilise the material and prevent puckering). It's going to take a LONG TIME!!!


I'll post more pics as I go, but really hoping to get this all completed in the next week!

Thanks guys! I'm posting the build thread on the RL boards as well, in the hopes that I can suck up to the Costume Judges enough to get approved quickly. (Learned that trick from Phoenix!)

Atris is a pretty cool kinda Jedi. Firstly, she's certifiably batshit crazy, and she's got more Sith holocrons than any Sith you care to name! She also goes toe-to-toe with Nihilus ... so Rents and Cutter - be on your guard! hehe!

[Vepariga]

Awesome ,that character is pretty cool. She has some great images of her fighting Nihilus too

Great work Moxxie,looking forward to the finished outfit!

[Rents]
