Juno Eclipse Built / WIP / 501st and RL Version

[AlCeRey ()]

This is my first WIP thread here and it will be for Juno Eclipse, as seen in Rogue Shadows. Advice and help is always welcome! (I'm a sewing newbie )

I plan on dual membership, so I'll be making the RL and the 501st version of the costume.

CLR RL: http://newsite.rebellegion.com/juno-eclipse-rebel-supporter/

CRL 501st: https://databank.501st.com/databank/Costuming:ID_juno_eclipse_rogue_shadow

I already collected everything I (think I) need, which is:
(pictures to follow)

- pair of black leather riding boots (originally bought for Han Solo)
- black driving gloves, leather, back of the hand is open, closes with wrist snap
- imperial belt, leather, cog in the middle
- fitted black pants (belt loops and pockets will be taken off)
- several yards of slightly stretchy, black fabric for two blazers, matching the pants
- simplicity 2341 jacket pattern
- light grey tank top
- platinum blond wig

Additional items for the 501st version:

- imperial officer's cap, cog in the middle, no notch
- 2 code cylinders, blue top, made from chalk holders
- rank bar, magnet at the back
- blazer needs pockets for the code cylinders!

Basically, what's left for me to do at this point is:

- sew 2 blazers
- make a non-messy french twist


Open questions:
1) Are two princess seams on the back of the blazer allowed/optional for both CRLs? The picture in the 501st guide is too blurry for me to see https://databank.501st.com/databank/Costuming:ID_juno_eclipse_rogue_shadow

2) Is lining the blazer(s) necessary?

3) Does RL allow natural hair colors for Juno? The clr doesn't mention it. (Would be red-blonde in my case)
