[Crookster]

alright i have been looking for a while but dose any one know where u can order costume made star wars robes cuz i got a design that i need made and no 1 i know know's how to sew and i havn't been able to find a seamstress that has the time

[Jedi-Loreen]

Please use punctuation and capitalization. Run on sentences are hard to read.


I think you mean "custom" Star Wars costumes.

Look on ebay, some of those seamtresses will take custom work.

[Crookster]

Alright, where do i go to find them (never used ebay for any thing like. only to buy stuff)

[Jedi-Loreen]

Uh, look under Star Wars costumes, maybe? Check out people and see if they take commissions.

It's probably going to take months to commission custom costumes and don't expect them to be cheap. If you are in a hurry, good luck.

You don't know anyone that can sew?

There are probably people here who have had costumes made, maybe they will chime in. I know of one place people have used called Speedy Stitches. Another place that comes to mind is called Twin Roses.

[Rhyen Skytracker]

I have used speedy stitches and have been very pleased. It is a store on ebay. Look here http://stores.ebay.com/Speedy-Stitches-Custom-Costumes_MEN_W0QQ_fsubZ269777015QQ_sidZ69229815QQ_ trksidZp4634Q2ec0Q2em322

[Crookster]

alright im also want some ppl that know how to sew that post stuff on the forms too cuz it could be cheaper too (got laid off)

[Jedi-Loreen]

Well, it's mostly guys here. Not that I don't know guys who can sew, because I do (though they aren't here on this forum), but this is a lightsaber forum not a costuming forum.

Don't you have any friends, or family members who can sew? Or people who are going to be in your film?

[Crookster]

well there r some friends but A) they don't live close to me and
B) they r too busy

J-Lo, how do you think I made my flak vest for my mando, sheer willpower for the fabric to stitch itself together? :rolleyes:

[Jedi-Loreen]

Ok, the other ones I know, who I was thinking about when I typed that, aren't here. :rolleyes:

[Silent_Jedi]

Twin Roses Designs made most of my robes for me, they do custom orders...however it doesn't come cheap. They have "traditional" robes usually ready to ship and slight variances (such as different color tabards) only take a couple of days extra. Their work is so far top knotch and they involved me in the process of making my 'Luke Bibbed' shirts with updates and questions about my wants. I doubt I'll use anybody else for my costumeing needs, to be honest and even thought about having them custom make some everyday wearables!

Actually I was hoping you'd just say "Yes" to my question :cool:

[Jedi-Loreen]

But "yes" was not an appropriate answer to your question, because you are not really a Force user. :rolleyes:

[Crookster]

Ok i know how to make it. But i need to know how u size armor for your self cuz my character is going to have Custom mando armor and i need to cut the parts outta a card-board box, and i need to know how to figure out if i cut it right or not

[Crookster]

[Sidd]

If you want to know how to make a Mando costume head over to http://mercs.firespray.net/forum/index.php the entire forum is devoted to them

[Crookster]

[Jedi-Loreen]

wizardofflight has armor templates on thedentedhelmet.com. You probably need to be a registered member to access them.

[Crookster]

[Thaxos]
