Babylon 5
Character: Commander Susan Ivanova
Variant: Earthforce uniform
Debut: June 2007
Jacket and pants
The jacket and the pants are made of marine blue polyester stretch, brown artificial leather and red cotton piping. The jacket was really challenging to make. This was not only due to the leather processing and the piping, but also to the tricky design of the jacket. It has a yoke with a pleat between the armhole and the yoke itself. A friend of mine put her pattern at my disposal. Without her help, I wouldn’t even have recognized that there’s a pleat! It was really hard to understand how to join the parts of this section of the jacket in the correct way.
The insignias are made of Polystyrene sheets and painted with golden acrylic paint.
Accessory
I wear a painted model kit of the screen used blaster with the uniform.
