Hey everyone. Back a while ago, my dad made me an Aragorn Elessar costume for Halloween (the crown is the only bit that still somewhat fits ), as I'm very interested in royalty and kings' outfits. When I first played Oblivion and saw both the Emperor's robes as well as the Imperial Dragon armor, I always wanted to try to make both sets in real life sometime (or perhaps the Emperor's Armor from ESO, which I kinda like better). Well, I don't have any schedules and it would probably take a while even if I happen to find the time to do it, but I would love to create both outfits (as well as a sword prop somewhat like a cross between an ebony sword and the Dragonsword of Lainlyn; I also hope to do a Ruby Crown and Amulet of Kings at some point as well) in person.

The main problem is that I'm not really talented with costume design and I was wondering if anyone at least had a template or instructions on how to make the Emperor's robes. The Imperial Dragon armor actually shouldn't be too hard, as I can use Masonite for the shell and painted hot glue/cardboard/cardstock for the details. It's mainly just the robes and the Amulet that would be relatively hard to do. Considering I really don't plan on investing too much money into it (not trying to go for all-out realism here, just kind of something I can put in my room as decoration), I'm pretty limited.

Any ideas on how I could go about this?
