Thanks so much everyone!

Rest assured, I am not in a hurry, but I would like to concentrate on this build in most of my spare time. I am just trying to get a good foundation first. '

Thanks again.

Thanks so much! I will measure my head. I live in Michigan where we have the 4 seasons and winters with piles and piles of snow....LOL 2014 85 inches already!

I contacted my seamstress already and she can start sewing the capes in March.

What is the cost comparison with buying from a vendor ...

For ROTJ: Which helmet shall I order? Don Post or Rubies? I am familiar with Rubies in other costumes but how acceptable is it for approval with this costume?
I actually would like to order the helmet first while I finish a few easy items on my SL.
I really am leaning on a Don Post helmet ...
