Costume Standards for the Body Armor version of Asajj Ventress





An Asajj Ventress (Body Armor Version) Costume Must Have:
(These costume elements are required.)


Bald Head:
* The costumer's hair must be shaved or covered with a tight-fitting bald cap.


Makeup:
* The costumer's full head and neck must be very pale, with a grayish or white tone.
* Black triangular "tattoo" designs are located over and in front of the ears. There should be four triangles pointing downward over the ears, and two triangles pointing forward in front of the ears.
* Lipstick should be dark gray or black.





Shirt:
* The form-fitting shirt must have long sleeves.
* The shirt may be black or dark gray in color.
* The collar should be high and tight against the neck. There are two parallel lines on the collar which can be pieced or topstitched.
* This shirt does not have the striped or tattered look often associated with the shirts worn by Ventress.


Gloves:
* The dark gray or black gloves should reach to the elbows.
* The gloves may be detailed with three wide bands of black or dark gray leather or fabric.


Body Armor:
* The torso armor should be made of a sturdy fabric, leather, or leatherette material.
* The armor may be black or gray in color.
* The armor is wide at the upper torso, and narrows until it reaches the belt.
* The armor should be divided into horizontal sections up the full length.
* The armor has a square neck, and the horizontal sections continue up the shoulder straps.
* The armor may stop at the back of the shoulders, leaving the back of the shirt uncovered, or there may be a matching armor section covering the costumer's back.







Leggings:
* The form-fitting leggings should be dark gray in color.
* A black leather or fabric strap should create an X pattern over each thigh.
* The X straps may be attached to the leggings, or may be worn seperately over them.


Skirt:
* The wide, flowing skirt should be approximately ankle length.
* The skirt should be dark gray-brown. It may be solid in color, or it may have a stripe pattern at the base, using a narrow black stripe over a wider light gray-brown section.
* The skirt should be in two sections. The back section covers the back and sides. The front section is narrow and does not overlap the back. The front of the skirt may open over the front of each thigh, revealing the leggings beneath.
* A short over-skirt may be worn. This skirt is approximately 8 to 12 inches long and is made of a slightly lighter fabric than the rest of the skirt.






Belts:
* A pair of black leather belts should be draped to create an X pattern in the front.
* Alternatively, a single black leather belt may be worn.
* Attachment points for lightsabers may be included on the back sides of the belt(s).
* The belts should be detailed with small greeblies, pouches, or Jedi-style food canisters.


Boots:
* The boots should be black or dark gray, and should have low heels.
* The upper section of the boots should be covered with three wide bands or with a criss-crossing wrap of black leather or fabric.

Robe:
