[Clone Commando]

[glow=Red,10,300][shadow=red,left,300]I'm going to decribe the situation in a couple words.


I'm VERY Poor

But I need two full jedi outfits,

Actually I would like to know what other peoples outfits cost.

If that is too expensive for me I would like some help to find a cheap solution.

and basically I will take the cost of any outfit and double it cause I need 2

Me and my bro are twins and we are going to be like twin jedii you get what I mean

If anyone has any patterns they would like to share or links they know of I would like to see em'.

we would like this for CIII but it doesn't matter.

If you haven't already, check out the links in the post called Jedi Costuming Sites. There is a lot of great information there. If this doesn't help PM me, I ended up with two patterns and would be glad to share one of them to you.

Jedi costumes can be done for very little at least to start, the boots & belts can get pricey, but the fabric parts can be done very well on a tight budget, 1st where are you? 2nd What size re you guys & how tall? 3rd, what style are you trying to do?
There are some very inexpensive fabric options, a fav around here is called OSNABURG, it's an unbleached 100% cotton fabric, looks very Jedi, nat. tan. You can usually get it at Walmart's for $2. a yd, you'll need about 7 yds per costume for tunic, tabbards & obi, you can do under tunics from an unbleached muslin in a lt weight for about $1-2 a yard, you'll need about 5 yds. each for the undertunics. Pants, any tan/brown/beige type of docker/khaki pants will do well, or you can make simple pull on pants from the fabric you make the tunic from, docker type easier & cheap brand from Walmart/Target is very good, or thrift store too. Boots & belt are the real money holes, but try ebay or thrif store, belts are not to hard to make, simple tools & leather blanks from crafts store or Tandy type supplier. Gotta go, closing time here more tomorrow!

I see the fact that it isn't that hard but I just can't sew nor do I have a sewing machine and I don't got alot of money to send on one, CIII isn't cheap that is why I could only afford a 1 day pass , I went through some simple sewing stuff in school makiing pillows but that isn't enough enough for this plus I was sleeping through most of the class ;D and don;'t you work at a holloween shop of something?

[glow=red,10,300]thnx bro for replying for me but our price range is between $25-50 depening on how much we spend at CIII( and I think that we'll be owing money to ppl after this ;D. I got a post on how to make some obi-wan look-a-likes which I'm pretty fond of and they cost about $30-50 per pair. and All i need are patterns cause I like your idea and the rest is just lightsaber stuff which I have a design its the tools that are the problem.and I'm hoping CIII will give me a whole new idea will will be fun. but thnx for your post it really helps. that brings my list to lightsaber tools and patterns.[/glow]

Yeah boots have mainly been my problem they are d**n expensive but i found mine in perfect condition laying in a thrift store for 10 bucks amazing isnt it dark brown and everything

[Clone Commando]

the only problem with that is there aren't many thrift stores in my area unlike South Carolina( flea market capitol of the world) lol jk.
