Even though Elia is working for the imerpial side, she is wearing a New Republic Uniform. The LMOs might argue that this is less about the character and more about the origin of the Uniform. 

What is weird to me is that the Rebel Legion has declined this costume as well. So we can't have it anyway I guess.

[Fabric for FO Lt.]

Hello Jeffrey,

 

All three of your options look quite dark with the last one being definitly too dark. I adivse you to order samples of the first two and check how they look in different light.

The FO Lt/Cpt and FO Maj/Col are both tricky when it comes to finding the right fabric.

Awesome!! @Menoko Can you post some progress pictures here?

This was the uniform I had finished for celebration. 

 

I have found a better fabric since and remade the badge.

For the pants:

 

"There is a upside down, asymmetrical Y shaped tuck on the front of the trousers."

 

That's not a "tuck", I think it's piping.  (and the Y is upside down)

 

Perhaps "There is small piping down the front center of the trousers at the natural fold, terminating into an upside-down Y shape at the knees.  The piping is the same material as the main fabric."

Piping is a type of trim or embellishment consisting of a strip of folded fabric so as to form a "pipe" inserted into a seam to define the edges or style lines of a garment or other textile object, while a tuck is a topstitched fold. There is a shot of Doctor Pershing lying on the mindflayer, where you can see it is definitely not a seam. I did insert some thick yarn into mine to give it some volume.

So here are my reference pictures I used for making this costume, specifically a general overview of the front, the back of the tunic, the boots and the cuff on the sleeves. In the last one you can see the badge and the weave of the fabric.
