Thanks so much for the responses! I'm located in Myrtle Beach, SC. I wouldn't mind working on my own costumes but I definitely don't know much about costuming and where to start, which is why I may commission them.

It'd be great to have local help from other members, that may alleviate some of my fears and it'd be cool to meet some members as well.

Thanks for the links too, I appreciate it!

Feel free to look me up on Facebook as well!

Best,

Hi! I'm a new recruit and wondering if anyone has hired a costumer to design and build their costume?

I'd like to get joined up pretty soon so I may do an easier(cheaper) costume to start, then start on a trooper costume of some sort. I'm super nervous about making sure the costume passes muster.

I also have a challenge in my costume, which I think will be cool in the end. I lost my right arm above the elbow about 12 years ago but I'm getting some sweet prosthetics that I think will play into the Star Wars theme impeccably.

Any help and advice would be appreciated. Also if you know of a good costumer or company that would be of help that'd be great too!

I'm really looking forward to this and meeting everyone!

Best,

Nubz
