Costume Design help

Hi everyone its been awhile, but i'll get to the point. Friends finally convinced me to go to a kumoricon as well as get a costume made. I wanted to do something people haven't done. So ive decided on Legend of the Condor heroes outfit, but all i have to work with is a Mandarin Collar Cheongsam (Cotton Twill) Navy color, one Straw hat, and a Tai Chi sword that i was told i could carry around with my outfit. Hope you guys can help me out, either by telling me that works or telling me what i should add.

 

we need a picture to base our opinions on :(

 

The best i can do is just images of the costume. I don't actually have a camera though. Its better then nothing i guess.

That looks pretty awsome ^^

 

sorta looks like a costume for that guy in mortal combat

 

Either Raiden or Kung Lao and I don't think i want people coming up to me so i have to correct them. I might just lose the hat, and add a sash to cover the right arm. Just like Youka in the return of the condor heroes anime. (though his arm was cut off by Guo Fu.)

 

seems fine to me ! they weren't that complex as dressers back then.

 

Well it was set back in the Song Dynasty during the time of the Jurchen's invasion of northern China.

 

You need a long haired wig with two strips of white running down the side....



If you want to do a later version of Yeung Gwor, you can hide your right arm as well....

 

Hmm do you tihnk it would be hard to make the wig?

 

I am pretty sure its hard. Just spend $20 and get one off ebay or local costume shops.

 

hmm, better not let the people at kumoricon know i bought some of this stuff.

 

Well, I wish you good luck. Take some pics once your costume is done.

 

No problem. I just sketching it out at the moment, but in a week I should have all the materials. Wonder if anyone on on popular asian is going to be there on Saturday? Oh but definitely taking lots of picture.
