So I didn't take pictures, cause I'm an idiot, but my Sith costume went well.
I got a hood on my tunic with red edging around the hood.
I wore:
Hooded tunic
My cassock coat
This funky high collar shirt I found on amazon
BDU pants
Knee boots
The belt set I made
Gloves
My lightsaber
Let me say, the fingerless gloves were totally worth it. Hands didn't get sweaty, could still manupilate things/use my phone. The costume was easy to move in, and caught ppls attention. My only regret is I didn't do any makeup. I'd meant to, but between a few things leading up to the con and a hectic morning I didn't get makeup done or even time to create facial cybernetics. Maybe for next year.
I still have more things to do for the costume but now it becomes details and accountrements rather than large costume portions. I may add some armor/war-mask at some point to it (Which was my original plan, but we'll see). I also wanna pull the buttons on my cassock and replace them. It's a vintage cassock so its missing buttons/has cracked buttons.
This con was actually light on Star Wars so there wasn't many people to network with or the like regarding costuming. Next year should have more.
