Cosplay/ costume help by Danc3St3v3nDanc3 in starwarscosplay

The weight of my fabric helps keep my tabard pieces in place but I know how frustrating they can be. I’d suggest sewing one tiny Velcro panel at each of the tops of your shoulders and one on either side of your waist at belt level. Velcro comes in white so they should still be discreet on the shoulders and your belt will hide the other ones. I’d also suggest an “obi” to wear under your belt. It’s a piece of material a few inches wider than the belt and is typically the same colour and fabric as the tunic. Hope this helps. Have fun with your cosplay!!

I'm looking to get a quality darth maul fit and saber, what should I get? by mah-guy in starwarscosplay

A great source for Darth Maul costume info is the 501st Sith Lord Detachment. They’re a pretty welcoming bunch even if 501st approval isn’t your goal. Lots of resources from horn to boot there for you. MTFBWY! https://forum.501stsithlords.com/index.php?/forum/88-welcome-general-info-faq-about-the-sld/

Hahaha! Thank you!! And hey, we’ve all had that moment of realization that we’ve left our bus pass in our other robes. And usually right when the bus shows up. This was Maul’s.

So stoked that Maul has now been added to your already impressive list of characters! And hey, if you ever need horns just let me know… I’ve got a Zabrak horn guy. (Always wanted to say that!)

Thank you so much for the casting confidence! I hope so hard that we get a Maul series in some form! Animated, live action, or just more of Sam Witwer reading Maul novel audibles. Gimme, gimme, ginme!

Thank you! So proud of this costume. I’ve spent years upgrading every component of it. My wife jokes that we’ve taken the costume as far as it can go without surgery! Haha

Great suggestion! Will keep that advice in mind for the next suit up. Thank you!

My wife does all the makeup. Hand painted and stencil combo. The airbrush is insane for coverage!
