Star Wars costume required for a party, I’ve previously done the Princess Leia (buns and white) and Yoda costumes so decided to go with the Sith costume. It’ll look good with a fire sword or my glow staffs.

I’m thinking that I’d like a heavy black cloth for the main cloak and possibly even line it in a dark red cotton

The Build……
Top
The top I made from an oversized black shirt that I was gifted. I cut off the collar and and sleeves and hemmed the edges with some red biased binding.
Robe
I ended up just buying a robe from from jedi-robe.com, it was expensive but I was running out of time. Its thinner than I would have made for myself but I’m pleased with the shape and size of the hood
Lightsaber
The lightsaber is a Concentrate C4 Glow staff. At some point I’d like to upgrade this to a contact saber from FlowToys – https://flowtoys.com/day-contact-saber. They aren’t a great replica of a lightsaber but I do circus tricks and they are great for that. There is also a lot of wobble in the Concentrate staffs and that’s not great for contact staff moves.
Review
Pretty pleased with the results overall although buying the jedi robe was expensive the rest of it I had lying around. At some point I may come back and upgrade this. It definitely needs a better belt.
