HE'S APPROVED!! I am so happy this one worked out. Took a few trial and errors (well, mostly errors) with the folds and seams but our GML approved it based off the updated CRL. Whew! I did notice he has to add snaps to the inside of the outer robe to the inner robe on the shoulders since it kept shi...

Good news is the costume is complete! He just got temp approval for a troop today. There's a few things that still need to be adjusted, but they are super minor. I did notice each time he moved his arms, the outer robe shifted way too much (probably from it being all velvet). I told him to put snaps...

Thanks for the tips on the bottom hem! I had a feeling it wouldn't work or at least not flow the way it should. I'll get that adjusted. He's still waiting for his boots, so I have some time!

We're almost done. He came for a fitting Sunday and the inner robe fits fine and the length is within the CRL guidelines, so he took that home with him. I'm tweaking the outer robe with the hem since I made the back about an inch too long or it will drag and ruin the bottom. It's puffy now with the ...

hope you post photos of the finished costume and one with the client using it, we all would like to see it what garrison is your client part of?? you mentioned there is more information on his garrison forum page then on the current CRL of the 501st. love to see as much information as I can get I p...

I'm getting close to the end! I working on all the seams with a blind stitch and have 95% of them done. I got the nap all facing down too on every piece. Since he has to do one more fitting before I give it to him, I made the seams about 2 inches with extra material tucked in it. This is in case I n...

I'm slowly getting the lining added to the outer robe. The new obi is complete and I redid the inner robe in all velvet as well. I did a blind stitch on the sleeves and the bottom seams. I updated some pics on my photobucket with a few build pics (still have a few more to add). I'm not a fan of how ...

I'm redoing the inner robe and obi since the CRL changed and ordered more of the same material since I now don't have enough for the outer robe lining. The gentleman it's for came for a fitting and so far, everything is going smoothly as far as fit. The folds look fine on the outer robe. I've notice...

First, please don't hate me. I am still new to the royal guard and am actually glad the CRL is updated with more info than before. For someone who is looking at this from the outside, having that extra info is extremely helpful. My one concern is the inner robe wording. I agree with the velvet part,...

Here's some pics of my progress. I did speak with the GML with the concerns I had for when our member is up for approval. The member has his own build thread on our garrison forums and I have been posting some pics on there as I go, so our GML is following what I'm making. I'm taking it all in as I ...
