Any advise about these robes

Post by Caley »

Can anyone tell me if this would be acceptable for 501st approval. I came across it by chance.

It says that on the listing however i really wanted a second option. You can never be to sure.

Hmm. In all honesty I would ask to see side shots of the robe. The way it wears just seems off to me. Ask more for pictures of this and let us know what you hear back.

Inner Robe should be OK but the Obi has to be modified.
The inner ring on the obi/sash should be the same material then the obi/sash
The outer robe looks strange and is made with a pattern that i dont know.
There are a lot of people saying their stuff is made 501st acceptable just to get it sold.

yeah that's why i thought i would ask you guys about the robes.

The person selling the robes could not supply pictures of the sides of the robes. So this may be a bust. :(

I rather it be a bust than you spend the funds on something and not be pleased with the end result.

Gotta agree that looks wierd. Think it may be how the pattern is and where the arm slit is, seems almost like they just used the seam right off the side of the shoulder for it, not more to the front to me.

If Sasha and Lucious aren't sure I would definitly play it safe.
