Tusken Raider Outer Robe Tips

The outer robe is simply a large piece of tan fabric found at the fabric store. There is a slit cut in the middle of it so the wearer's head can fit through and the ends were frayed. Please note that there are no seams at the shoulder!

To achieve a realistic looking fray, make a very small cut in the fabric where you want the fray to begin. Then, let 'er rip! Tear the fabric along the edge until the entire piece is frayed.

The "dirty" effect on this robe was achieved by mixing ink and water and then misting the garment with a water bottle. You can get a similar effect by lightly misting the cloth with dark spray paint.
