Request - Robe design

[destro3979]

Im planing on making a robe type thing some time soon

iv never been good at designing clothes so i was hoping someone could sketch together a good design for me

Id like a front, side, and back view of each piece if possible, but anything you can do would be great :)

 

I want it to be 2 pieces as i show in the drawing. right now the hood is on the first layer but that can change if it looks better on the outside one.

the outside robe is kinda over-sized, very large sleeves, and loose fitting

the inside is much tighter, closer fitting, bust still loose enough to easily move around in.

I cant decide on using white or black, but the other colors i'm using are medium shades of blue

 

 

Idea for outer layer(more complex than i want, but thats the basic idea)

 

Idea for inner layer

 

Idea for how the hood should look

McCall's 3789 looks to be the pattern and design you need; just use the inner tunic pattern, then if you wanted to, you could use 'Gandalf's' cape robe thing; otherwise find a 'quick and easy' bathrobe pattern, that's what I used for a Jedi robe pattern.

If you still want a drawing, I can do that too, just PM me before 7PM EST today (preferably, because after that I'll probably be off and tomorrow I'm leaving)

Am I doing this right?

 

[destro3979]

thanks hawkxs

that will help with making it

going for a custom design so i can only use it for a guideline really.

 

solartide... you are doing it wrong....

 

 

i was thinking today and realised what i want is very simular to some of the stuff in bleach

i also decided that i want the outside part to be open, more of a cloak type of thing

[destro3979]

Is anyone working on it right now?

 

if decided that its a combo between these 2 designs...

[Hawks]

Yes, I will be working on this, but probably won't be able to get it to you anytime soon.

[destro3979]

Thanks :)

 

thats ok

no rush

Hey hawkxs

hows it coming so far?

[Hawks]

Tbh, I've only got a basic outline yet. Do you want the layers separate or together (as in the inner and outer robe on one pic, or two separate?)

 

However, I will be working on it as I have time.

 

Do you want it colored?

I would like the two separate

also i dont want the hood any more.

but instead a high collar on the inside layer, like chin height about.

 

they dont have to be colored but if you want to go ahead

its fine either way

 

thanks :)

Tbh I think what I can do is not much more that what you've drawn yourself, so unless you want me to keep working on this, I don't think I'm much help.

 

 

I would take in your pictures to a local fabric store and see if they can help you locate a pattern or with some ideas.
