Hi All! I have cosplayed before but never as a Mando so I am very excited! Since NYC ComiCon was canceled I figured I had more time until the next one to complete this build. I will also be making mini sets for my children (ages 5 and 3) to go along.
So, I play the MMO Star Wars the Old Republic and want to make this build in honor of my main character who is a Mercenary in-game. Her Flight suit is fitted and all black. I am a HUGE DIY/Buy second-hand kind of person so I bought two pieces of Under Armor to combine as my flight suit.
Her main color/colors are dark green and her accents are yellow gold although this is negotiable to yellow/mustard yellow colors as well. I was actually inspired by a nail polish (of all things) to make her palette- Paragon by F.U.N. Lacquer.
I have extra fabric from my Kylo Ren attempt ($40 for the bolt, never finished) to make caplets for myself and my kiddos. I have theirs pieced together from scraps already and I love the look. I don't want them to match me exactly but I think it it cute to have something between us that is coordinated.
So I got this womens XL jacket from the thrift store ($14), just a muted version of the green I want, and I plan on quilting it for stability ($5 for the HeatNBond fusable interfacing) and putting ties on the sides.
