Hood Question

[Clone Commando]

those looks like contacts, I've never seen eyes look like that because of camera effect, or it could be photoshoped or something like that but if they are contacts nice

[Kamen Kallel]

That is due to some playing around with photoshop. I think I need to take some brightness out of the eyes or change the opacity level. They look to fake almost.

Not really fake, just a little Alien. I just thought they were contacts, we have lots of people where I work that wear them all the time, all kinds of looks. Some I like, some not too much.

Hi everyone. Need some tips on making the hood on my robe 'behave'.

You see, its the tropics where I am, so I have to choose a thinner material to make my Jedi costume, or else I'll be roasted in no time in the sweltering heat.

The problem with using any thin cloth as a hood is that it 'flops' on your head like a heap of rag cloth, and looks horrible if you don't adjust it constantly.

Does anyone have experience with this problem? Some tips on what to do please!!!!!!!

Use 2 layers of your fashion fabric and fuse them together. This will add some of the stiffness you're looking for and will also let it hang neatly on your back.

I'd stay away from spray starch or sizing for two reasons:
1. You're in the tropics, the humidity will make the starch go limp.
2. The humidity will also make any starch or sizing become sticky.

I live in North Carolina, our summers are as humid as any in the tropics.

Thanks Aya. From all the advise I've received, the double-layer method seems the right way to go.
