Hello my amazing followers,
Last night we made some awesome progress on the Boba Fett Cosplay. Upon doing a lot of research I have decided that felt armor pales in comparison to foam armor, and so I have come on to the conclusion that I need to buy a heat gun and make the breastplate for Boba Fett (along with gauntlets, shoulder pads and knee pads) out of awesome craft foam!
I also bought a turtleneck! It, however, was a size XL in mens... so it needed quite a bit of adjusting. It started off looking like this
It was really really baggy on me, because I happen to not be a XL man. So after a lot of safety pinning (which is really hard to do on yourself and is the main reason why I want a dress form) and cutting and then sewing, it ended up looking like this

So, now it is cropped to where I want it, and the arms are tighter to fit my body. I didn't do anything to the collar area because I liked the way it fit around my neck. Super awesome. Now that that part is done, today I go off to buy a heat gun and possibly check a near by good will for some grey cargo pants to match this shirt (thankfully I have plenty of scrap pieces to take with me for reference).
Well, that is all my wonderful cosplayers
have a wonderful day and keep on sewing!
