Here are a few shots of our Death Eater project as it stands today. It's very much a work in progress at this point. The mask is a fibreglass cast of a sculpt I made last year. The tunic is the most recent part of the ensemble, put together by my sister, totally made from scratch from a suit pattern she has customized. The embroidery is all done by hand apart from the "stripes" along the bottom of the tunic which were machined. The lower sleeves are imitation leather, sewn onto the elbow of the jacket, then wrapped with leather ties.
Still a fair amount to do on the costume, the belt, boots and the robe are the next things to do. The outer robe pictured below is not the final one, it's just a stand in for now. The really important thing still left to do to the tunic is the weathering. It will take a lot of breaking down to get it looking more authentic. That will probably be the next update on this project, documenting the breaking down process.
Here's a nice close up of the embroidery and the little clasps,
It's exciting to see this coming together, but there is a way to go yet. My sister is now working on the final outer robe, and my next task is the wand belt.
Stay tuned!
