Thank you all so much for the advice was nice to hear. I am bustier than dolly parton (if only I was thin like her) so was very concerned that the chest plate would look odd. Also was concerned that i might have problems with the arm pieces being under 5 foot. I have some minimal sewing skills getting better and plan to take a class. I made a Jawa costume and lets just say videos were my friend learning how to use a my sewing machine, and it worked for that costume. I will have to join the facebook group.
