Here is the inspiration, though this outfit has several different variations.
I was lucky enough to find some fabric on the "Value fabric" racks that was close to the color of the outfit. It's a little more green than this picture, but it's very similar. All total, I spent $12 on the material, of which I am very proud. I used model magic to make the brooch and belt buckle (which I still haven't quite figured out how I'm going to attach to the belt). I used four layers of craftfoam that I cut, layered and painted to make the shoulder armor. I also found a workable shoulder bag at Goodwill for like $3. I made boot wraps out of scrap fabric that I had and dyed them brown. They are designed to go over my Isard boots, but I've yet to actually try it on together. I got some extension hair and made a braid piece and I bought a blue lightsaber on ebay. I plan on making a replica Luke ANH hilt as a prop, but haven't had much time to devote to that kind of experiment. And I've been... well afraid to do anything on it. I'm hoping to submit pictures for Rebel Legion approval soon. Hopefully I won't have to do any alterations on the costume, but I do have plans for improvements. I would like to make the shoulder armor out of leather and replace the belt. I have another bag, but I need to add length to or replace the strap. And of course, the lightsaber hilt needs to be completed.
Same outfit, but darker color. There's also a skirt version!

And the finished product at NOLACC in May, well finished except for the boot wraps, belt buckle, lightsaber and a good solution for the hair.
