This garment is for a Centauri character in the upcoming Chuckling Cthulhu event, Babylon 5: Steincorp Station.

This coat proves that even non-sewing-people can make costume elements as it was made with a thrift-store coat, three yards each ribbon and braid, and a hot glue gun. The vest visible in the 'after' shots was another thrift-store purchase. Total cost: $22. If I can pull this off, anyone can!
