5) Inner Shirt and Pants

I just used a cheap white long sleeve shirt, put it in the tea bath to dye it and weathered it after with the same acrylic paints. This time I wet the shirt down a bit before I sprayed the paints as I wanted it to absorb and bleed together a bit to look more like sweat and dirt. I focused on the neck and armpits although you don't see those areas really. Just a detail that made me happy :)

The pants I quickly sewed together and these were literally just thrown together, although next time I would probably use some sweat pants as a template or just purchase some cheap ones. The top closure is a drawstring and I sewed on a extra piece of fabric to act like a skirt or loin cloth. I have no idea if this is accurate but there a a couple of pics of the OT Tusken attacking Luke with what appears to be an extra layer of fabric under the inner cloak. I tried to make a full length tunic but too many layers and I was getting hot. This way I go the look without the extra layer.

I sewed some elastic strap at the bottom so when I put on my boots the pant leg doesn't ride up out of the boots. This works great and I use it on any costume where the legs need to stay in place.
