My ROTS Gaurd Robes

[Balcony Brawler]

Thanks Stripes, I actually used the old belt as the center ribbon on the new one. yay resourcefulness!

Other than the seams can you spot anything else that needs improvement?

I'll take a better look at it tomorrow after some rest, but I would suggest that the hem should be lowered to be just above the floor when standing barefoot. When you put your boots on, you'll be adding 1/2" - 1" in height nd you don't want the outer cloak much more than 1 1/2" off the ground.

here's a shot with the raised arm slits and buckets. Ignore the black gloves for now, I have a pair of red ones in the mail.


and here's one that I took at a con yesterday

It could just be the lighting but the inner robe and lining to the cloak don't appear burgundy or wine (dark purple) in colour...

[Balcony Brawler]

Blame the lighting for that, Its definately burgundy.

These are my gloves and they look look too bright to me. Any tips to darken them? They are leather and from Leather Mystics.

You'll want to look into some leather dyes.... I'm not familiar enough on the subject, but you would need to definitely darken those up

[LuciousTalvloinne]

I would go with this shade


It is referred to as OXBLOOD

Look like good gloves though, not sure about dying leather but I'll see a couple of people on saturday who know about it and I'll try to remember to grab some tips.

Thanks for the dye color LT. I dyed them this afternoon and they came out somewhat OK.
