It looks beautiful to me
My skirt material is supposed to arrive tomorrow so I will have some more stuff to do next week. Will post a picture of what I’m going to be using when I can.

is this the proper size?
It’s 20 inches wide and almost 5 feet long so I have to figure out how to sew on the extra 4inches so I have it at 24x24
Any ideas how to sew it

Small tweezers and lots of work but it will look better than sewing with thread
With all the time I have waiting for my armor and other stuff I figure I’d take the time and “repair “ the skirt
It’s like zipping a zipper without the pull

Wow! Great idea on the skirt and splicing it all together. I thought about it, but it seems it's the only way to do it.

Great job man! You done an awesome job. I sewed mine with a thicker black thread down the middle. I used key rings to attach to the belt. Ill attempt to get a pic or two.
I used some black felt to sew on the material first, then sew the ring. The material can pull apart with enough force, so I sewed the black felt to give the ring something more to hang on to. I do notice when wearing the skirt the material wants to snag at the pants, but luckily has not caught yet.

I attached 3 clips like the pink/purple clip in the picture to my belt. I made my own belt and used zip ties to hold the
3 clips to my belt. I attach the skirt in 3 places. Im not sure if I have a pic but will look.

Looks great!
On a side note I was watching the 1966 Batman this morning, season 2- episode 2 - Walk the straight and narrow
and saw Batman swashbuckling with a familiar sword in hand.

Holy genocidal Robots from space, Batman!
Who knew that our sword has super hero roots?! So far that's the earliest appearance of the prop... a few tweaks through the years to 1978 but certainly share the same bones.
Great find!
