In all the costume was redone about 3 times before it was 501st accepted. Making the thing seamless was almost if not completely impossible. I had to redo/repaint the whole top half of the tunic. The veil is made out of a material that I can see through, I don’t know how many times I get asked, but yes… I can see. Her under and over dress are both fashioned in a very nun-like way, with the veil included. The pattern is standard for the 501st and would not be accepted without it. I had never even realized the intricate “pin-wheel” pattern on her leather tunic. When I started this costume I realized that this was probably the most difficult costume that I have ever done. I worked on Visas for a grand total of 6 months, off and on. So you know I am a thrifty cosplayer/costumer, we go out of our way for the best deals and end up getting things for like $1.50 a yard. Our award was two gift cards worth $30 for Joanns and Michaels, they came in handy and we got materials for Visas and Nihilus. Kurt and I won a group cosplay contest for our Dark Elves at a spring cosplay picnic. I spent maybe a total of $50 actual dollars on materials.
