Re: Merch that doesn't exist, but you wish it did...?

as a commissioner, I feel you - especially during that stage in my business' early years when everyone wanted Star Wars replicas circa Attack of the Clones and I had to break it to them that Lucasfilm had all their fabric milled in France, it wasn't fabric you could just go out and buy at a store.

but at the same time I know what goes into movie production so I know exactly why they don't produce screen-accurate replicas. Some of that shit is literally made up the day of shooting and stitched or glued onto the actor, there's no beautiful garment they can just pattern and copy.

AYRT—one of my favorite costumes is for a replica stage show and the fabric is custom embroidered for every new copy of that costume. I’ve considered destruct-testing my crappy embroidery machine, but by my best estimate just the machine embroidery would be 200-300 hours of work before the patterning or sewing started. Another costume from the same show uses custom printed shot-silk made by a single husband and wife team that retails for $500/yd. Since it’s shot silk, the replicas on Spoonflower are all close but no cigar.

you're speaking my language anon. unf shot silk and embroidery!

I know how it goes. We have a customizable embroidery machine and sometimes the work involved in jacquarding or making an all-over garment-sized design is enough to nope right out of it. At that rate it would almost take the same amount of time to hand-embroider it. /looks at Chinese fantasy designs, shakes fist
