Here it is, phase one of my Jedi costume is complete. This is the tunic and shoulder armor and belt. Also the pants. The third piece I plan to make, the shirt that goes under the tunic, I'm having to create the pattern for, so it's a bit trickier, especially since I'm still a fairly novice and slow seamstress so it is coming along much slower.
I've already started picking apart the tunic and shoulder armor seen here and making adjustments, mostly to the way it all drapes. Now that I've got Dressing a Galaxy, I can see better how the finished product should look, but I still sure could use a dress form or another body to hang it on while I drape it. I'll figure something out.
Aren't those lightsabers sweet?
Jedi fans and seamstresses, I welcome feedback and comments. The pants need adjustment, as they are a bit too full and blouse a bit too much around the boots. And I also know the belt looks screwy and may need to be rebuilt.
Since the tunic, shoulder armor, and belt are all the same material and color, it may be hard to see the different pieces in these photos. All the same, would love to hear constructive criticism.

Your costume rocks! I wish my wife made Jedi costumes for fun.
your outfit is too clean!! Jedi comb the galaxy and get covered in pollutants, like dirt and grime, in their travels! go outside and roll around!! till then you look like nothing more than a stay at home jedi. :D
i fogot to subscribe to your blog topic. :p
Hey, you need to post a new blog. I have been awaiting more from the Jedi in Training. Also, I love the coffee cups... I use them daily. I got a coffee maker for the b-day! (and there was much rejoicing)
Go borrow a dress form from wardrobe. There is an old one at Stage II they probably don't even remember to miss. It will help you a lot I bet. I think your costume looks sweet, though I agree with Tim saying its too clean...go smite some bad guys and get back with us :)
yes, that looks like Jedi Wedding apparel! or perhaps you're a virgin Jedi!! go out and use the lightsaber god blessed you with!
This costume is patterned off Obi Wan's Episode I costume. In the two subsequent episodes his costume gets a little darker each time, which I thought was neat. I figure wear and tear will eventually tone the white down. I hesitate to tea dye it, because I've never done it before and it took so long to make I'd hate to wreck it. I promise new pictures of the "final" product soon!
start wearing it around town this fall with your cloak...after you make your cloak.... and see if you start a fashion trend.
