Once my tunic is done I'll message you to get a Swatch to you.

Just thought I'd share my experience with the Amazon blanket! It takes dye really well, super happy with the colour, and after it was dyed, I satin stitched the detail into it so the texture looks a bit more like the original Mood fabric.

Here are some screen grabs from the movie that I'm pretty sure confirm a seam down the back. I'm still not sure the exact fabric. I used an olied cotton. But I've heard it's just a lightweight cotton treated with a water proofer.Does anyone have any links to info on the poncho Rey wears early in the film? Specifically, what seams are present on the back? Helping a friend with some research.

This is gorgeous!
I found this pattern (version D) that works well with few modifications (you just combine the side pieces to get rid of the shoulder seams but keep the back seam. Then bring up the opening a little to fasten closer to the neck.) I'm still on the look out for the right fabric tho. What I used originally is just too heavy but the right color. If you find anything you like let me know. I'll post what, of anything I find too.Thank you! That helps a lot!

But if you look at the top strap of the belt the d rings seen flipped...or the strap is threaded through to the back side. I dunno, Kristen is the resident Rey belt Jedi. Do you have any insights on how it's made out sized?

Oh and yes, what is up with the holster but no blaster? Good grief.This is simply a matter of the belt being put on the mannequin wrong.
This is something for everyone to remember: these display mannequins are not dressed by people that worked on the film...so many of these odd things we see are due to that.
You can see that whoever put the belt on just looped the tail through both rings and tucked it under the belt because they didn't know how it was supposed to go.
As far as seeing that in the film... I have only seen it that way on her lower portion and I think that was done to let the holster hang where they wanted it so it didn't interfere with the tunic.
Why the holster is even there without the blaster is an entirely different question
I used to say the same until I saw this screenshot from the film. You see that the belt doesn't go through the slits on the bottom. Looks like one on the top. I got so confused. Just makes me think there is also a sizing issue. But I yield to your knowledge Kristen https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180409/b6d07fc9887327b80d49b17bb57caa22.jpg
