I'll be interested to see how the fabric turns out, but I believe you are misinformed on the pattern... there is more to this than just cutting a large circle with a hole for your head to go through and there were seams on the originals, they are just very well hidden.

How many pieces were the originals made of? And most of the pattern I have seen were mostly circles with a slightly different shape on the front for the right shoulder seam and arm gap. I am not expecting it to be super simple. But this way I am hoping to get rid of most of the seams since I have had very little luck making unnoticable seams and i dont want six noticable on my costume.

From what I have seen, there were at least 3, if not 4 pieces to create the proper look along with the draping effect. Unfortunately there isn't a set pattern that I have seen that replicates the draping that was seen on screen as yet.
