A Star Wars Halloween Costume - 2 yrs

Hi guys!

 

I'm in need of your help! I want to dress my son up Star Wars Style this halloween. Most of the costumes I have seen out there are of course Darth Vader. I can't dress my son up as anything with a helmet. He barely will wear a hat - so I can't see him wanting to be in a helmet. So that leaves either battle scarred just before the turn Anakin or the ever present hero Obi Wan. I've been debating on ordering from the Star Wars Shop directly - however has anyone gotten a costume from there and is it good quality? The reason I ask is that they are almost $40 a costume and they have no returns unless its for a size exchange. Also - I can't really tell if its fabric or lots of vinyl. I would like it to look authentic. I saw a pattern for an Obi Wan where I would have to sew it - not a big deal. Not sure if it looks like a good Star Wars representation. Anyway! Let me know your opinions. Also if you've seen an online site with some good SW costumes please leave a link and also if you see it in a store let me know. I live in California and there are lots of stores - and if I can't find it maybe we can work out something out.

 

Thanks guys!

Man, I thought you was gonna say you was going as Leia as Jabba's slave this year. What a disappointment, just kidding. Umm I would imagine they would have alot of costume shops in CA. Hmmm those star wars shop ones look ok, but not the best looking. I did a quick search for a few sites and found this:

 

http://www.nightmarefactory.com/starwark.html (Has the Glove and Braids for a jedi padawan, plus alot of childs costumes.)

 

http://www.buycostumes.com/star_wars_costumes.aspx

 

I hope these helps.

 

Also if your looking for a good cloak maker check out http://www.twinrosesdesigns.com/ I got them to make me a Darth Maul Cloak a few years back, very nice ppl.

You could try to make some sort of cheap Yoda costume. Here's a link to a pick and a short description of the cheap costume.

 

Jeezum crow thats a lotta god damned work for a buncha costumes that'd only be worn once! I'm gonna love my kids but damned if I'm gonna drive myself up the wall making them a costume - no less 7 of the damned things.

This is where you and I see differently. I showed that page to my GF and this one made my us want to have a baby ewok. How can you NOT be touched by that? That is the absolute cutest thing I have ever seen in my entire life! :eek: I WILL have a baby ewok someday....promise! :eek:
