Leda, you're right, yours and Xana's are very feminine. And Mynn, you hit the nail on the head, alot is in the attitude and the way someone carries themself. Try using some softer flowier type fabrics, and cutting the tunic to a more feminine tailoring rather than a radical style change, that might not be recognised as a Jedi. I think you'll also find that the leggings that some of us wear are slightly more girly looking than the more tradional trouser type, or try a very soft blousy harem type tucked into your boots. We await the pictures when you finish.

I say if you have the means, make the tabard using a darker colour and then use light-color thread to embroider a flowing floral pattern on top of it. Say dark brown, maroon or even dark purple tabard with peach/tangerine embroidery. That'll add femininity to your costume.
This'll also give your costume a very 'noble' feel to it, somewhat like Jocasta Nu and Shaak Ti's tabards .

I think mine's sort of femine. The tunic itself is just a normal straight-seam cut. I didn't use princess seams or bust darts or anything. The change I did was with the obi. I made it wider than normal and up around my natural waistline instead of down on my hips. I also reinforced it to make it a sort of corselett (not sure of the spelling, it's a minature version of a corset that comes only under the bust). I was even tempted to put boning in it, but settled for two layers of heavy interfacing. It snaps in the back, and the snaps are covered by the belt. See here: www.thejediassembly.com/members.php?id=94c1aI also chopped the sleeves off my tunic, but that's just because it gets HOT down here in the Southern Order!

That's a fantastic costume It's always interesting to see costumes that vary from the more traditional ones [Edit to add] It's been a while since you last posted, welcome back

I doubt any female Jedi do wrap their tunics right over left, because that aspect of the costumes is taken from Japanese tradition, and the only time a kimono is wrapped right over left, is when the person is laid out after death

For that reason, I always wrap might left over right.

i guess its a matter of choice, i was just looking around and saw quite a few right over left. whoops. so maybe its just their cut, and the shape. maybe they use an a-line, or something similar.
