My wife MJ has wanted to join the 501st for some time now. Her first obstacle was deciding on a costume. She was looking for something that will be affordable to make and easy to transport. There aren't as many option for women who want to costume in the Star Wars genre that don't want to be princess Leia or a Jedi.
That decision became easier when Vader Dave Mondo offered to make a costume for her out of appreciation for the photography services that I had given him. Vader Dave is well know for making screen accurate costumes that will meet the criteria for admittance in the 501st Legion. He suggested a Tie Fighter Reserve Pilot. It packs up compactly, is comfortable to wear and it is also the beginning of the full Tie Fighter costume should MJ decide to evolve the costume further.
