I thought it would be fun for us, and inspiring to novice costumers to post pictures of our first and subsequent Jedi costumes.
Here's mine:
Costume #1 It was just a wee bit too short, and the lacey undertunic was a little overdone for a Jedi. Not to mention the purse for a pouch. I wore it with leggings and lace-up boots.
And here you can see what my belt looked like before I modified it at all, and that I didn't know I was supposed to wear it around my actual waist. It's kind of sitting on my hips and slouching down.
You can really see all the lace on the undertunic, and the sleeves are too short, and the tabards are just a single strip of fabric, unhemmed! Yikes! At least I have different boots, and I switched to dark brown leggings.
And costume # 2: This is my favorite fabric... I've been meaning to redo the costume using the new circle skirt pattern that I like. (I don't remember what I bluescreened it for... and would you look at how short that braid is! lol!) Still worn with leggings, only a medium brown, this time. The boots are slouch boots from a catalog.
And this is Costume # 3, the one I made for C3. The fabric is rayon blend, I think, and the lining is finally silk.. not poly, like the last one. Still, it's not the circle skirt pattern, it's just gathered. The pants are from the thrift shop-- some sort of krinkly rayon, they are.
And finally, costume #4, the one I wear now. I love this pattern, and I need a second one made like this. That's on my to-do list!
The pants are stretch denims from Target, elastic waist, flat front. The new boots are made by Frye, and I dyed them reddish brown.
Ironically, I've had the same belt all along, it's just been modified a few times. Rumor has it that I'm due for a new one.... 
Luckily, there are no pictures of me wearing the Rubies.....

I made it in 1999, from viewing Ep 1 about 12 times at the really cheap theater! It was before I found any on-line Jedi info. Not too bad, if I do say so. I've got the rucked undertunic sleeves. The food capsules and covertec clip were added later, after I found some on-line tutorials and resources. I just don't have a Qui-Gon-like Jedi belt.
