Big brown box day!!! I was rather surprised to have this show up so quick but it was a happy surprise none the less!!! Is the robe a bit long in the last pic, it's hard to tell bundled up.

Is that robe on backwards? I would think the zipper would be in the back. Where is the arm slit?

It's on the right side, guess I should have stuck my arm out or something.

So a potential uh oh, looking at the robes, when I have it turned the right way, the arm slit is on the left side not the right, where it should be. What should I do???

ROTJ use their Right hands more than their Left hands. The left hand is exposed when Vader tries to see the emperor unexpected.

I guess I should have clarified, to me it seems like my robe was made backwards, here's a look at it from the front, you'll be able to see the arm slit is on the left side.

It also sadly looks a bit tight on you, almost like wearing a sleeping bag (maybe a picture with an arm out will help?). Not sure how it will hold up. Also not sure with this one, but other measurements from other vendors have at least asked for hands on hips to try and get that wider arch look, rather than the straight up and down.

Well, there are shoulder pads in it which would give it that visual effect I think, is it possible to save it, should I email him???

I have to agree... the costume is very tight and not the flowing robes you would expect to see with a royal guard. I don't know that this is something that can be salvaged as it would need more material and a lot of sewing help.

Going to agree on the tightness factor, and definitely not enough material there to pinch and get the swag folding required in the crl too from the look of it.
