I've got a number of ideas around what costume(s) I want to do and would love some guidance on where to start. I'm partial to characters that are torn between the light and the dark, like Bastila Shan. However, I also love characters like Darth Zannah and Barriss Offee.
I've been a seamstress for a long time but have never worked with leather or armor before, and would be totally stoked to learn those techniques from others!
Looking forward to meeting you all and getting to know you! :D
Cheers!

Welcome aboard. Yes what area indeed as I grew up from Long Beach to Laguna Beach over to Riverside.It sounds like we had similar experiences around SoCal! I was constantly in the beach cities for scuba and surf :)

I have a Barriss Offee, and I’m happy to share with you what I have done with my costume and/or any tips I have learned.
Oh, I’m from San Diego, so it’s great to meet someone else from SoCal.

Hello, it wonderful to meet you! I have family down in San Diego and Vista, absolutely love it down there :D
I would love to learn how you tackled Barriss Offee! I’ve been searching for fabric to screen match her movie cloak and so far haven’t quite nailed down a close match. Your assistance would be very much appreciated!

There are social events on June 9th and July 27th. We will try to make both. I can bring a swatch of both fabrics for you to keep. I’ll also bring my belt buckle and the templates I created for the tattoos.Hi Karina!

Out of curiosity, I’ve been playing with the idea of attempting an Asajj Ventress costume but have been getting mixed information on whether her character has hair or is actually bald (as she is in the Clone Wars).I don’t think I’ve ever seen her with hair. Check the CRL.
What do you guys think?

No hair is the CRL. Sadly the version of her with is not Canon from what I know.

Okay cool, I appreciate that! I couldn’t find much that was verifiable about it, thank you! I’ll search through the CRL a bit more when I get home tonight :)

Yeah her hair is from a novel that I believe is non-Canon. Though it is possible I'm wrong about it.No hair is the CRL. Sadly the version of her with is not Canon from what I know.
