A closer look at our Star Wars costumes worn for Halloween 2016. They’re always a little different every time we wear them — or mine is at least. I think I’ve finally found a Sith makeup look that I’m happy with. I normally wear a long sleeve black silk renaissance shirt and pant set as my base but I found a short sleeve black top and a more comfortable pair of pants at Lane Bryant and opted to wear them instead — much more comfortable!<\/p>\n

The foam should armor has held up better than expected. It’s almost two years old and is still holding it’s shape and is damage free. The contacts are a little over a year old. They supposedly expire at one year but they still feel fine. I’ve only worn them 4-5 times and am hoping they last till December so I can wear them to the Rogue One premiere.<\/p>\n

Karl’s costume is holding up well. The obi is a bit of a pain to put on and keep in place. If I ever make one again I need to adjust how the obi attaches in the back so it doesn’t pucker. <\/p>\n
