Rebel Uniform - Star Wars: Return of the Jedi
I always thought this was a cute outfit - I thought I'd put it together, so I'd already have it when I get to doing her Endor uniform one day.
Construction Notes: I started out by finding a tan coloured shirt on ebay. It arrived and I cut it off at the bottom, and used the excess to make the pockets on the sleeves. I had a hard time finding a fabric for the vest, but finally settled on a denim. I'm not crazy about it, but for now it's ok. I made the vest without a pattern, it closes via hook-and-eye. The pants I made using a pattern, with yellow ribbon for the stripe. I decided to go ahead and sew the shirt to the pants, so I wouldn't have to tuck in the shirt. While that kept me from having lines under the pants where the shirt was tucked in, it created another problem - everytime I sat or leaned over, the collar of the shirt would get pulled underneath the vest. Eventually I hope to fix this problem.

The holster I made last minute out of black vinyl. It's not that great. I hope to remake it before doing the Endor uniform. The boots I already had.

In 2007 I made new pants for this costume, and fixed the problem with the shirt/collar, and also made a new belt. I don't currently have pictures of this uniform with the upgraded pieces - it was worn under my Endor Gear at Dragoncon 2007.
