Seeker, I would suggest buying your own material and sending it to a reliable seamsstress in your area. That way you can keep track of the progress whenever you want and make sure it is as accurate as possible.
Mine is still in the works and my final fitting is next week. It looks great so far, I will post pictures before and after diying it when its finished.
If you decide to send RA your material, make sure to wash it first, maybe even a couple of times. Especially with 100%cotton, you'll want to wash it first, as it will shrink a bit.
I have his and the color/material is off. I would supply ur own material if i where you, if my memory serves me correct tk-409 does one....not positive though, might want to shoot him PM
