This is a cross-post of the details. If you're interested in costuming and keen to come along, send me a message. The emphasis is on Rebel/Good Guy costumes, but we won't turn you away if you have other Star Wars projects you want to get involved with
To get Rebel costuming rolling in the new year, Naboo Outpost will be running a costuming workshop and social meet-up on Sunday 27th January, 2013 (Auckland Anniversary weekend).
This event will be run in Auckland (Birkenhead), but will be an all day event to make it worthwhile attending for current or prospective members who are from other regions - starting from 10am, and running through to about 5pm (...or maybe even later...might turn into a barbecue in the evening, depending on numbers).
If you want to get advice about any costumes, help others with their costume projects, make progress on your own projects, or just swap ideas and discuss Good Guy costuming in general, this will be a great opportunity. We'll have on hand examples of Rebel Pilots, Clones, Royalty costumes, Jedi, and more. Bring your finished or in progress costumes along for show-and-tell...we can even muster up props, droids, other costumers etc for a few photoshoots.
