Pattern Description: This is a pattern for a "Star Wars" tunic, contrasting belt, robe, dickey, and shoulder armor.

Pattern Sizing: XS-S-M-L-XL. I made XL.

Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it? Yes, it looked like the picture in the lower right-hand corner.

Were the instructions easy to follow? Yes.

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? I like that it makes a handsome "Star Wars" costume.

Fabric Used: Taupe cotton for the tunic & belt, and ivory broadcloth for the dickey; the reason being is that the costume on the envelope came in those colors.

Pattern Alterations or any design changes you made: None.

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others? I wouldn't sew it again. Yes, I'd recommend it to "Star Wars" fans who can sew.

Conclusion: It is a wonderful pattern, commensurate to the Jedi's outfits in the "Star Wars" prequels.

AnneM 10/19/08Glad it went together easily for you.

dbsewer 10/26/09Again, you don't give us a lot to go on and your picture of the costume is too small to see it properly. You rate as an advanced sewer so certainly you could provide a lot more details other than it's a neat pattern.

Trephas2003 10/26/09Sorry if the picture is so small. It's the best I could do.

shanntarra 12/15/09The picture is really blurry. I would like more detail in how you went about making your items. Why did you make the choices you did? Do you have any rational as to why you would recomend it to your fellows?

Trephas2003 12/16/09Again, I apologize about the picture. Shanntarra, is it your lofty goal in life to elicit misery in me?
