I wrote a PDF document detailing each step of my build in depth with photos. You can download it from my website.

Below is a summary.
Mid-robe sketches. My friend already had a cotton mid-robe for a different SW costume that I could modify.

Outer robe sketches.

Finding a similar black basketweave fabric was hard. The best we could find was a bright blue furnishing fabric which we attempted to dye black. It sort of worked. In bright light you could still see a bit of the blue coming through and some strange striped effect.
