I trhink the length works on you. Of course, you could always just buy enough fabric to make another tunic, 2 is better than one & 3 is better than 2 and so on  |

Thanks, everyone!
Nova, I actually agree with you. In fact, I have two entire bins of fabric that is mostly for Jedi costumes I want to make. I have four Jedi costume finished and three that I'm working on. I'd rather move forward to new costumes than back to remake one. Besides, though I have a bunch more brown crinkle cotton in my bins (thought not any that matches with what I used for this costume), it's already earmarked for an Anakin Ep. III costume. :^)

right on. There's nothign wrong witht he length, that's just a prefrence I have. Lots of my Jedi buddies have shorter tunics but then spend a lot of time tugging them down. The skirt seems to go to where the cuff on the sleeve ends. If ya look at pics of most jedi if their arms are down, the skirt ends where the sleeves do. I may observed that wrong however.

Ky-Wan: Oh, I actually prefer a longer skirt too. This is the shortest skirt on all my costumes. Most of the others have lengths closer to Qui-Gon's. But I've decided rather than letting the length of the skirt on this one bother me, I'm just going to look at it as having a little variety in my outfits. This did, however, inspire me to standardize my process for making tunics and actually finally make my own patterns for everything I do so that I'm not always "winging it" and sometimes guessing wrong. Now I know exactly how long to make my skirt to make it long, medium, or short, so I shouldn't have this problem again. And I have the skirt-pulling problem too, but I do it with all my Jedi costumes, not just this one. I always seem to be adjusting whenever I'm in costume no matter how well tailored I make them. I'm trying to break myself of it, though. My girlfriend (not a costumer) said to me, while helping to collect money at a charity costume event with the Rebel Legion last year, that I look "very majestic" in costume... until I start futzing with it and adjusting it all the time. But man, that's a hard habit to break! I'm still working on it. |

You'll be twitchin' and pullin' less and less as you get it fitting you like a glove. I goofed my skirt part up a little on a tunic. It's an inche higher than my wasit, but at least it's not that big of a problem.
