Sorry to disappoint, but your links are broken. 
I still strongly recommend you to organize your requests the same way as everybody does with proper description. I understand that it might be easier just to post a link to external source with your photos instead of adding URL of each photo one after another, but there are reasons to do so: 
а) It is easier for Admin Staff to review your application;
b) Links can become broken over time ; 
c) It is easier to follow the updates if some additional photos are needed.
d) (Last but not least) Following standardized procedures is the way to go in military organizations, one of which we kind of try to recreate here

I had excellent experience with Mazcave , highly recommend. 
Cummunication was great , Francesco was totally fine using my own fabric , the measurements guide was very detailed and despite initial waiting list of 4 month I have received my uniform in just 2

Best part of the role for me is sending the welcome email.

This will be a day long remembered (by me)
Thank you!!! 

Welcome Nick to the 501st 

I’m just going to get in an early ‘Congratulations!’ 

Thank you , I will forward this message to my CO

that IS the process.  The good news is, if your CO approved, you are in.  The decision lays with him or the GML.  The rest is a formality.

Once you are in, we will give you full access and have you come into the facebook group the officer's mess.
 

Hello there
Last month I have finally applied for 501st membership and according to the autogenerated email it can take up to 3 weeks to process the application. However GML said that according to his own experience  it can take from 1 day to 1 year (which was a case with one of the members). 
I wonder how long it took for the other members of IOC to be approved in 501st?
 

I've not been following this buid in close detail, can I just summarise why it was rejected to to see if I'm understanding it correctly?  The crl was rejected by the LMO because:
 
- The LMO team should have been involved sooner.
Except that the LMOs were involved from the very beginning of this thread and have commented consistently.
 
- The costume should not have been made before the LMO team had given the crl a green light.
Except that whenever new crls have been asked about in the past the standard response from Kris (an LMO) has always been "someone has to build it first".
 
- There aren't clear reference shots of the back
Except this has never been a requirement that is applied evenly and, according to the actual wording (shared above), is not so much a requirement as a preference.
 
Anything else I'm missing?

Eric, the other head LMO of your team made this thread and was an LMO when they did.  Our assigned LMO who is a trained tailor and active for years in this detachment was turned onto this thread at the start of their term this year.

Can you give us a number of how many LMOs must be engaged in order to meet this threshold you are talking about?  You know as well as I do that you have released costumes in other detachments under your administration this term with less references than this.  You know as well as I do that there is not likely to be any more references released from this particular costume.  And even if there was, the applicant and this detachment are prepared to quickly adapt the CRL to meet new information that would develop.

Since I joined the legion in 2007 I have been told that a costume is made first then brought to the LMOs to be turned into a CRL.  Many of our CRLs in this detachment were created outside of it: Grand Moff Tarkin, General Hux, etc.  They were made outside of the detachment and without LMO oversight and no involvement from the staff and then turned into a CRL.  If you want CRLs to be started with LMO involvement before a stitch is sewed and a mold is sculpted, this is a VERY different method that I have ever seen.  

I am still also concerned with your description of your LMOs holding a vote to decide issues when the fate of our costumes may be decided by the decision of someone not engaged or knowledgeable about the costume, the character, the references, sewing, sculpting, machining or anything connected to it.  Not that I expect your LMOs to know all about everything, but in the past those who specialized had more say than those that didn't.  
 
I would like for you to show your procedures for how things are determined and how to move forward.  At the moment they are not very transparent or navigable for our members. And until that happens, I think it will discourage new costume creation.

This is complete and utter poodoo.
Not once was I (former DL) notified that this would not be accepted, or I'd have yelled from the top of this hill that I'll die on, that this was a bad decision.
Mountain Trooper is based solely on a toy.
Captain Cardinal is 90 percent based on a toy (that has the wrong helmet!).
All the Spec Ops Army CRLs are based on crudely drawn comics, and look like bargain basement SWAT team members - which is why we didn't want them.
95 percent of the clones died before order 66, thus shouldn't even be 501st.
But because the back of a black costume isn't seen in full daylight, you're gonna nix it?
This is precisely the flawed reasoning that made me vote NO for your ratification.

Hey everybody!  Bob mentioned this topic earlier today in his detachment newsletter, but the discussion for it has thus far been on the staff-only section of the forums, which isn't visible to the membership at large.  So, I would like to duplicate my comments here to solicit more feedback.
 
I would like to make three changes to the judging standards used by deployment officers to judge L2/L3 (Executor/Imperator) submissions.  I believe these changes will remove some subjectivity and ambiguity from the process.  These changes primarily affect Imperator (L3) submissions since the criteria for those is higher than they are for Executor (L2).
 
1. Judging done on CRL specifications only; no unwritten/subjective criteria
 
In the past, applicants have been judged on criteria that are not explicitly spelled out in the CRL, such as the presence of undyed vs. dyed edges on belts, edge grooves on belts, numbers of belt holes, jodhpur shape, tunic length, etc.  Since these are not spelled out in the CRL (or were not in the past; some may be now), there is no way for the applicant to prepare in advance unless they are "in the know", and there is no guarantee the unwritten criteria will be applied consistently across all applicants and different deployment officers.
 
Going forward, we will judge applicants solely based on what is explicitly stated in the CRL.  Some of the criteria I mentioned above have since been added into their respective CRLs (such as undyed belt edges on the ANH Staff Officer CRL) anyway.  If any deployment officers or other IOC staff believe we should be judging based on criteria that are not currently in the CRL, we will discuss them as CRL edits and get them added there (if the consensus goes that way) before they will be used to judge any L2/L3 submissions.
 
This does not mean that deployment officers are prevented from making recommendations or suggestions to applicants based on details that are present in reference material but aren't explicitly stated in the CRLs.  However, these recommendations will be in the form of suggestions only, and will not be used to deny L2/L3 applications.
 
 
2. Emulating an on-screen/canon officer is encouraged, but not required.
 
One of the current expectations for L3 submissions is that the applicant emulate a specific officer configuration (in other words a specific rank bar + code cylinder + belt box + glove + sidearm + any other accessory configuration).  Again, for "generic" CRLs, this isn't spelled out as a L3 requirement.  As long as the applicant's individual costume pieces meet CRL criteria and they are in a configuration that makes sense for that costume (for example: no OT rank bar with Rogue One belt boxes), we will not require that the applicant pick a specific officer configuration and emulate them.
 
We still encourage applicants to emulate a specific officer configuration since that's the easiest way to be really really accurate  and it's a way to show love to a favorite canon officer , but again, this is only if the applicant wants to.
 
 
3. One submission per CRL/version
 
In the past, multiple L3 submissions have been allowed on a single CRL, due to the requirement that applicants emulate an on-screen officer.  Some applicants were then able to rack up many L3 awards on a single costume by switching accessories (for example: submitting their line officer as Admiral Piett, then General Tagge, then Captain Needa). Instead, we propose to allow only one L2 and one L3 submission for an approved costume on a single discrete CRL.  
 
The exception to this will be for CRLs with version tabbing.  An applicant can submit one L2 and one L3 submission for each version of a CRL.  For example, Krennic has four version tabs, so someone could conceivably submit four L2 and four L3 applications if they have all the required options.

I think you should go for ANH Staff Officer, your cylinders and rank bar will work

Ive done some digging and Alison is indeed Clothears

Thank you guys for your feedback. 
I contacted the vendor and it turned out it is Clothears,  just under the different name.

I agree, the color is hard to judge.  Might be ok?
 
The worksmanship looks impressive... *IF* that's representative of the quality delivered.
 
Given that, though, I admit it's extremely strange that the pants' flares are so mediocre.  They should pass, I'd think, but they really bring down what would otherwise be an extremely well put-together uniform.  They're CosplaySky quality flares matched up with high end tailoring, which makes no sense.  I wonder if the vendor would consider updating their pattern?  Proper side flares aren't actually harder to sew than those bumps, it's simply a matter of getting the pattern right.

Its hard to tell the actual colour from the photos maybe ask for other pics? Everything seems good except the flares.

Вітаю! Welcome aboard!  I'm no judge but that does look good to me. I'll wait for someone much better at this than I am to comment, but I do love seeing more Ukrainians. Even though I'm Canadian I'm of Ukrainian descent!
