Robe i would say no because i cant see the material seems to be right and the pattern Looks strange.
And the sash is wrong too.
The helmet Looks strange on the photos. And as it is out of resin it can bend easy under heat.
So sorry but i would stay away from it.

Apart from the rectangular shape, those robes look like they have a weird slit in one of the seams. Misinterpretation of the CRL, I think.

I agree, the robes look very strange

That one looks descent (maybe) but if you're going for the RotJ-style Guard, you don't need 2 slits in the Outer Robe. The sash seems a little too wide too

Make sure you register on your local 501st Garrison forums (if you're not 501st already) and speak with the Garrison GML. He could also give some advice on the robes.

The cosplaysky is a RotS Robe and the sash is not correct as it is bi-coloured.

As noted, it is not acceptable for ROTJ.

My suggestion would be to pick an episode that you want for your Royal Guard: Return of the Jedi, Attack of the Clones, or Revenge of the Sith. Then find the CRL that matches it, and spend time getting familiar with it. Go through other people's Work in Progress threads and see what choices they've made.

If you want to make an ROTJ this is the CRL you want: http://forcepike.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=3. Take a look at it carefully and you'll very quickly see the problems between this and ROTJ Royal Guard.

i have found another helmet i think it may be good as i looked through the forums and found it was getting good praise http://www.ebay.com/itm/Royal-Shadow-Gu ... 1611861356 lastly since its much harder than i thought to find the robes i well try to hand make them i wanted to know if this pattern would work https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004O ... WMLGHVCOWW than my last step is to find the correct fabric. thank you all so much for you're help trying to become the first guard in my garssion.

FP is a good solid Helmet. Depending on your location you maybe able to find a vendor closer to you also to cut down on shipping.
