Star Wars – The Force Awakens – Resistance Pilot costume
When I first saw Star Wars ‘The Force Awakens’ the resistance pilots costumes really stood out for me, if there was one costume from this film that I had to replicate, this was it. It took quite a while to get to this complete but I had to make sure I did this costume justice and made it as accurate as I possibly could. More and more images are still being released and in the following films there have been some slight alterations made to the costume. Made from a 1000 denier Cordura, a fabric I had worked little with before and an extremely heavy fabric to work with, the patterning and construction is some of the most complex work I have attempted but I love the effect the fabric has. The styling and fabrics of this costume are so right for a fighter pilot and fit perfectly into the ‘used’ Star Wars universe. The techniques used on this costume include quilting, appliqué, piping, stencilling and weathering. I currently have this costume on display at home and I am working on a suit for my partner and myself to costume in at charity events.
