I've seen the SC site and it would help if I knew how to sew aor knew someone who did.
I'm 5'6. A little too short I think. I've trimmed my armor and it still is too big. So I'm going to put it on a mannequin. What size do you have?

Weren't the originals made of white fleece?

I've looked at the Studiocreations tutorial. I'm sure I could put one together. Does anyone have a picture of one without the armor over it?
Sign up over at the 501st Snowtrooper site www.blizzardforce.com/forum There is a member there offering to make dusters and pouches for interested parties.

I am or was a member there. Not sure if my account got cancelled or not. There was never any activity going on so I never checked.
General Mayhem - I have this pic. Can't remember where I got it.

Hi there.
I spoke to my dress maker ( She owns the local costume store ) about a duster for my snowy. I showed her the picture that is in this thread ( See post # 10). I told her I wanted to make it out of wool. She said that her friend works in a Second Hand clothes shop and they quite often get in second hand white wool blankets. She said that even with the cost of her time – the jacket should only cost $40 - $50.
Good luck.

Nice of her to do one for so little money.
I added a quick writeup on my site to offer the Duster to those that don't have a local seamstress to put one together for them.

Being a Florida Snowtrooper, I opted for a more "survivable" fabric than wool. I used a cotton fabric that was not to light, but definately not wool or fleece. For the "skirt" portion, I double plyed it so it would be heavier and have more "swing". I just used an XXL t-shirt (I wear XL) as a template. I cut it up the center and copied the size. Turned out nice.

well, that polar fleece is kinda hard to get ahold of these days anyway. I do favor the hevier fabrics though as they'll hang better and look better in pictures. I've never been a fan of having my skirt billowing around me in parades. looks ridiculous, and always pissed me off when I saw after-event pics. ya just gotta find a white fabric, that gets nice and chunky/fuzzy, put some batting in to weight it down if ya need to.
