Knight of Round Cape Help?

[ohariko.livejournal.com]

I'm looking for some helpful advice on making a pattern for the Knight of Round cape. I know I'm taking a big risk by asking this here in the main community, but I do not want to screw up my fabric. Normally, I don't care too much, but the material I'm using for Nomette's cape was really expensive. Also, what did you guys use for the material of your cape? I'm rather curious. Thanks in advance for your help~!

Indeed. It can look nice though, which is probably why it's so common. Most Zeon crtests are done in gold, though I went with microseude, which looks a lot more professional and not as guady (based off MS IgLoo). Though it's all on if the art dictates it, and most of the Rounds shots I've seen don't. If I do, I'll change my opinion. I like getting things as close to onscreen as possible. Though the animated nature does allow one to fudge with texture. Fabric choices can make or break a costume.

I'm still trying to pin what material to use for R2 Zero. The cape definitely has a sheen, but the rest of it has one off and on. I'm thinking a velvet or other "depends on the light" fabric.

Drawing out the crests will be fun, I know that from my Zeon. Though KoRs are much larger.
