LadySewForUs Posted December 17, 2010 Author Posted December 17, 2010 One more and I am done for the night......... The colors look off with this pic.
LadySewForUs Posted December 17, 2010 Author Posted December 17, 2010 The colors are really bad. But, I will take better pics tomorrow.
darren1970 Posted December 17, 2010 Posted December 17, 2010 This is one part of the costume I'm dreading. I'm no expert but it's looking good to me How much do you think you'll be selling these for Debbi?

LadySewForUs Posted December 17, 2010 Author Posted December 17, 2010 More pics.... It is getting there......... Keep in mind that the yellow is merely chalk powder and will come off easily. And also keep in mind the colors look wrong due to the flash and/or lack thereof. I will be sending this to Tom for feedback and he will be able to attest to the accuracy of the colors. IMHO the color are really close. Thanks for looking!
Fettski Posted December 17, 2010 Posted December 17, 2010 Just dropping this in here to compare them a little better. The straps look a little narrow to me and not dark enough. Hoping this comparison will help.
Fettski Posted December 17, 2010 Posted December 17, 2010 are the straps sewn down at the chalk line?
LadySewForUs Posted December 17, 2010 Author Posted December 17, 2010 are the straps sewn down at the chalk line? Yes, they are sewn done at the chalk line.

Hoping this comparison will help. Thanks for the input!! Well, yes, I can see what you are saying, using the pic that you referenced. But I also have tried to keep the straps and spaces in between, in proportion, so they go around the cummerbund as it is seen in the ref pics. I think you would need to see this in person, or with a better pic. I also think that when it has the pouches and armor surrounding it, that it will look better. As far as color, I think the biggest problem is the coloring of the picture, not the actual straps. One of the problems with "matching" the ref pics, is that those pics are digital. There was never an actual costume that someone wore. It is much more difficult to get the "screen accuracy" when working with this type of media. I will get this one together and get it over to Tom. I am very curious for his hands on opinion.
Lonescout Posted December 17, 2010 Posted December 17, 2010 I think it looks great...someone needs to model it for us!

I am very curious for his hands on opinion. I agree, some pockets, armor, weathering and sunlight can change the look completely. Just offering my 2 credits. I think it looks good an it is better than what I have going.
LadySewForUs Posted December 18, 2010 Author Posted December 18, 2010 I think it looks great...someone needs to model it for us! Uploading pics of the cummerbund modeled by my mannequin! They will be posted soon!
LadySewForUs Posted December 18, 2010 Author Posted December 18, 2010 The "suspenders" are adjustable with velcro, in the front and also the back. Back View...
Jimah Posted December 18, 2010 Posted December 18, 2010 Heya, looking good so far. Just curious, thinking of working on a KST in the new year... will you offer these overseas? (Post to Australia)... I understand shipping will bre a bit more so that is not an issue. Great work, not an easy little job these bunds from what I understand

(Post to Australia)... I understand shipping will bre a bit more so that is not an issue. Great work, not an easy little job these bunds from what I understand Thanks Jimah!! Yes, I can ship to Australia for the cost of postage, USPS priority mail. Please let me know if you are interested, just shoot me a PM.
LadySewForUs Posted December 18, 2010 Author Posted December 18, 2010 looking good., i like the suspender idea. Yes, I saw your comment about the suspenders. They are attached with velcro in the front and back. This makes them adjustable. You should be able to attached them as needed, under the armor. And also, they do not have to be used, if not needed. This will be shipped out to you soon. Your feedback will be welcome! Thanks Tom for all of your help with this! Debbi
