FYI the team reviewed and changed the tops! Check em out now. ^.- Thank you for pointing these out to us! 

Of course!!  Also honestly it doesn't really affect much, its more on the end of the GML to just get an extra check and balance which IMHO isnt always a bad thing ^.- Especially with new costumes like Thrawn... Colonel etc.
Kylo Ren in ep8 comes to mind as well. If that one was released as a non green lit we could help guide GMLS to what a proper pintuck looks like :P!
 
It may also be on our end. It could be that in reference we couldn't find reference for a seam due to it just not being in the movie. But yeah some folks also send us some very poor quality images and wont always send em again (or cant seem to get em any better time after time)
 

A lot of mixed feelings from me. I've been a big fan of the series, admittedly haven't followed it from the beginning. Came in a little late. XD But.. yeah it felt a little bit "...oh, okay" for me.
Excited to see what the future holds though, now that this is tied up reasonably neatly.

Unsure how making it as clear as possible, ensuring you're capturing the layman term and the technical, is not making it accessible for as many people as possible? Simple isn't always the best way forward.
BUT! I'm not an LMO and was merely voicing my thoughts.

A sort of "details" gallery or links to specific areas of the costumes that have a very specific required look would be amazing, and super helpful!

And returning to the terminology etc for CRL's @Exaldear you say that the inclusion of techniques would cause you to switch off, however my proposal is that the laymans term is -always- included first as a visual descriptor of what you need to be aiming to replicate. Then, if a technical term exists, it would be included in brackets as an expansion on that information. It wouldn't be more than a couple of extra words. A layman or someone who has no interest in searching the term or learning what the technical term means doesn't have to do any extra work, yet the information is there for those who want that little bit more?

I picked up an olive CosplaySky uniform because they were doing various sales and it came out really cheap. I made sure to tick the box that said it would be custom made to my measurements, which was an extra $25ish or so. I then wrote a full War&Peace of my measurements in the box provided.

The fit is actually very good! The fabrics aren't great and don't feel like the most luxe in the world, but you get what you pay for! The only two gripes I have for the CosplaySky uniforms out of the box is that the collars don't often close very well (there's also a lot of discussion about adding a modesty panel on the collar to boost your accuracy and hide any unsightly gaps at the throat showing skin!) and the flare in the pants is ridiculous. Elephant ears!
I recommend getting the front and back of the flares in the pants interfaced with a woven interfacing, and then get those flares tapered in to better match the flare seen on screen. It's really not that wide, and shouldn't stick out further than the flare at the bottom of the tunic. It should follow the line of the bottom of the tunic, and then curve back inward, not bellow out.

I hope this help! Look forward to seeing what you go for.

Thanks for the clarity Dawn.
Hopefully the CRL model/whoever needs to provide this information if there are pieces missing or new photos required can be contacted, unsure who'd be the one to do this?
I had thought that there were full Rebels turnarounds of Thrawn's character model so there shouldn't be too much left that we haven't managed to confirm?
I'm sure it'll get cleared up and the final t's crossed, i's dotted etc.  Glad to see that people can still submit costumes.

In my opinion, as someone who doesn't understand the technical terms, I would rather learn them so I could forward them to a professional who will be making the costume. Tailor or Seamstress or not, if you're gonna make the costume yourself or have a professional do it you gotta know the correct terms. Adding pictures to the details on the CRLs would help alot with understanding the technical terms.

Hello and good day to you! 
 
My name is Dawn Bright and I am a LMO with the 501st Legion and happy to help.
 
TLDR: Just submit the finished costume to your GML and he should know the rest.
 
 
Long Answer
-A CRL that is marked with this should still be submitted normally to your local GML.
-The GML will post it on a secondary board and solicit feedback from the Detachment Staff or LMO. 
-The feedback will be recieved
-You will receive the feedback or be approved. 
 
The reason a CRL is not "green lit" right away is that the Detachment or LMOS feel that there is an error but its good enough for release. All people approved before a CRL is greenlit will still be approved and grandfathered in. 
such as the...
https://databank.501st.com/databank/Costuming:ID_First_Order_Colonel_and_Major
 
Just skimming this CRL I note that there's not much there in way of parts but the colors of the jacket are perhaps a taste off or maybe we wanted a clearer shot and something is blurry...
or
We are physically missing parts of this crl due to us only being able to see portions in the movie (this is a rarer occurrence that the earlier example) Its very rare we will ever release a CRL and say "Good enough" though this happens.
 
This CRL needs help and until help from the Detachment comes it will remain in this status. Some crls will remain this way indefinitely. In the end its not that much work for a GML (which is nice) and offers a bit of guidance from the Detachment Staff. 
 
Green Lit: These are ones that can be approved by your GML alone such as...
https://databank.501st.com/databank/Kylo_Ren
 
That CRL is live and ready and free to be approved by any GML. Its been nitpicked to death and everyone is in agreement. 
 
 
Hope that helps!
Have a nice day,
 
Dawn Bright

I still don't see why we can't use legitimate technical sewing terms for a specific thing, with perhaps elaboration in laymans terms for what said thing looks like. So that a GML or person who doesn't want to google the term can get the right effect/know what they're looking for, while those who know what they're doing or -do- want to google the right term and find 1000's of walkthroughs on youtube or wikihow etc, can do so?

"code cylinder pocket has a faintly visible seam just below the opening (cylinder pockets are one-sided piped pockets)" Best of both worlds. Literally no skin off anyone's nose. NOT too much information. People who want the technical term can have it. GML's who just want to know what X should look like, get their visual description.

I know, right? It's like the game designers are telling us "hey, we could make this stuff uber-accurate if we wanted to, but will still make it our own creation".  

I'd agree with this too. We have the visual references, so we have to match what it looks like. No matter how goofy it looks. 
 
I only hope that maybe the final game will fix some of those things, but probably not...

I honestly wonder how much of the design inconsistencies of Admiral Versio was by design, and how much was just lack of attention to detail. Like the notch on the hat... did someone just misremember how it was orientated and it never got caught, or was it on purpose for some reason? 

The most baffling one I've ever gotten was someone calling Kylo a stormtrooper

I have gotten nazi a few times (small town, not great)
But my favorite one is the SINGLE time someone recognized the outfit as Lieutenant Mitaka, I was joke cosplaying as DJ at the end of the con ;w;

The amount of times I've gotten 'Mystique' as Thrawn is unbelievable xD
