This is a visual guide used for 501st costume approval, not a how-to for construction. Construction details are found at the costume's Detachment website. Measurements provided here are generalized, and not criteria for approval. All 501st costumes are proportionate to the wearer in terms of size, fit, and scale. During evaluation, both text and images (CRL and Reference) must be considered. When in doubt about a feature of a submitted costume, GMLs should post questions in the Legion forum's DL/GML peer review section.

Required Costume Components

The following costume components are present and appear as described below. For 501st membership only the requirements in black need to be met.

• Waist length black hair is pulled into a high ponytail near the top of the head.

• A pair of metallic silver or black wraps are worn on the ponytail.
• One wrap is worn near the top of the head. This wrap is used to make the ponytail stand high away from the head.
• The second wrap is worn further down the ponytail, near the back of the head.

• A metallic silver headpiece is worn over the forehead. It is wide on top, covering both the forehead and the top of the head, and then it narrows as it drapes down to frame the sides of the face.
• The headpiece extends over the top of the ears, and may extend further around the back of the head.
• The headpiece is made of a thick, sturdy material, and it is covered by a three dimensional circular pattern as well as a raised border around the outer edges.

• All exposed skin is colored red to match the body paint or the body suit.
• Black Sith tattoo patterns are painted on the face.
• These tattoos include a pair of circles on the forehead, an outline with three points around each eye, and a pair of small triangles on each cheekbone. They also include a smaller circle painted on the chin, and a black rectangle painted at the center of the bottom lip.
• Red painted prosthetic is worn to give the ears a pointed appearance.

• All exposed skin is colored red with either body paint or a body suit with tattoos designs applied.
• Black Sith tattoo patterns are painted on the arms.
• Two pairs of X shaped markings are located on the upper arms.
• Up to three pointed tiger stripe lines may be visible on the forearms, just above the forearm wraps.

• An outer shirt made of black leather or leatherette is worn in a crossover style.
• Each shoulder wrap is made of three joined strips of material.
• The left side crosses over the right side in the front, and the right side crosses over the left in the back.
• The wraps are wide, and are stiff enough to extend out over the shoulders without drooping.
• Additional layers of black leather or leatherette are worn wrapped horizontally around the waist to keep the upper wraps in place.
• A sleeveless shirt is worn under the leather wraps.
• The inner shirt may be sewn from black fabric, leather, or leatherette.
• The shirt has very large arm holes, and includes a high ribbed collar that fits snugly against the neck.
• Leather or leatherette is used for the ribbed collar, and the opening is located in the back.

• A high black leather or leatherette collar is worn over the ribbed collar of the inner shirt.
• This collar has an opening in the front, and the front edges of the collar are slightly rounded.
• The collar may be attached to the inner shirt or the outer wraps.

• Black leather or leatherette wraps are worn around the wrists and forearms.
• The wraps may include a pointed extension that covers the back of the hand.

• A metallic silver wrap is worn over the hips.
• It is narrow at the front, and then it becomes much wider as it goes around the sides and back.
• The wrap is made of a thick, sturdy material, and may be covered by a three dimensional circular pattern similar to the design found on the headpiece.
• A raised border goes fully around the outer edges.

• A black leather belt is worn over the silver wrap.
• This belt is approximately 7 cm wide and is made with a sturdy thickness.
• A large, three dimensional ring is located at the front. This ring is painted red, and includes four black straps that secure it to the belt.

• The black skirt is floor length.
• The skirt is made with an A-Line pattern, and it is made with enough fabric to give a draped, flowing silhouette.

• Plain black boots with a sensible heel.

Optional Accessories

Items below are optional costume accessories. These items are not required for approval, but if present appear as described below. If adding in an accessory after initial approval, the item still needs to be submitted to local GML for approval before use.

• The lightsaber hilt resembles the organic design of the Legacy Sith lightsabers.
• If the lighsaber has a blade, the blade is red.

• Special effects contacts in shades of red, yellow, and orange are worn to give the illusion of Sith eyes.
• While considered an essential part of this character, contact lenses are not required for 501st acceptance. All persons wishing to utilize contact lenses are encouraged to first see their optometrist for a fitting.
