This looks good to me! If any more scans are needed I can get them, but I believe you included all possible angles.

Curious as to why it says "painted" designs on the tabards won't be allowed? I feel that will severely limit the people who may be interested in making this costume and don't have access to fabric like this. If it's painted close enough, perhaps we should allow it.

Also "belled sleeves"? I see one image where that is shown but the others consistently show more of a Jedi sleeve. It's tricky when this happens so perhaps we can make that an optional section?

Sorry! I was referring to the "cuff" in image 14. That's what I thought you meant by bell sleeves. I believe that is the only reference for the cuff that is shown.

For reference, I was approved last October 2018. The tunic has bell sleeves and a curved in waist with a peplum.

Also, I made the blue tabard using blue fabric that had been dyed, then the pattern was painted with bleach, and then the garment was dyed again. I used the light blue linen-like fabric from Joanns and dyed with a combo of RIT denim blue and grey.

I've got a bunch of scans in my build thread here too: http://www.forum.rebellegion.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=63185

A couple of corrections I would make:

On hair, she has quite a few variations, several of which don't involve hair ties:

So you have four options: a hair-tie, a braid wrap, hair wrapped around the base, or no closure at all with a magic ponytail.

The tabbard does end at the obi in one shot. Do we want to allow for that?

As to the pebble pattern, it seems to me that the larger stones are always present, but the tinier pebbles don't make it into all of the panels, so they could be an optional detail.

For the pants, I would argue that pure white is a viable option. If the tunic is cream, white pants would appear to have a gray or pale blue undertone by contrast.

All good and valid points! Thank you especially for the better hair references - mine were too low-res to see some of it. I agree completely on the hair. Also agree on allowing the tabard to go down to the tunic edge in the back, based on that one shot. Once I am at a computer instead of on my phone, I will edit the proposal accordingly. I also agree that the smaller pebbles aren't always there. Do you think we need to specify large pebbles as required and small as optional, or is it sufficient if we just say "pebbled texture matching references" and include a variety of different size reference images?

I am not entirely sure about the white pants, though. On the one hand, you are totally right - white WOULD look bluer than cream, which matches what we see. On the other hand, it is illustrated in a lot of panels as being darker than the tunic (especially in 12, 13, and 20), which would seem to indicate its not lighter than the tunic at least (which a white would be).

We could handle the large and small pebble pattern with requiring the large ones (recommended symmetrical across the right and left) and making the tiny pebbles optional details.

As to the white pants, I may be a bit biased because that is what I determined it to be and made my pants white, and the color balance looks like it does on the page. That said, I think the fact that the pants do in fact look white in contrast to the cream on more than a few panels is enough to allow white as a possible color. That's the fun part about comics and all the variation between panels.

I think I'm going to end up saying this in a lot of standard discussions, but for comic and animated references I think we should err on the side of allowing multiple colors within a range, since there are so many variations between drawings and all we can do is make a best guess. I'd rather allow a bit more variation than get too granular with inconsistent references.
