What I did was take a hoodie, and attach/ sew most everything on the assassin robes to that hoodie. I makes it a lot easier to put everything on when it comes to wearing the costume.
Otherwise, for the stomach sash-y thing, you want to take a strip of fabric that goes 2.5 - 3 times around your waist. It looks better that way when you tie it to let the fabric end pieces hang, too. For the shoulder plates and belt I used paper mache to scuplt into shapes I needed. The arm gauntlets I made of fabric, and unfortunatly I never had time to make a hidden blade.
But that will change!!
Otherwise, you can find leather gloves, boots, and black pants that are pre-made, and cheap, too, if you go to a thrift store. Just remember to wash everything really well when you bring it home before you start cutting and sewing!! (UNLESS, the material is silk, suede, or velvet. Then take it to a dry cleaner. NEVER machine wash silk, suede or velvet!!!)
Below is my Costume! About 89 percent of it was home-made. :)
Which I am proud to admit!!
The only things I did not fully make were the base of the assassin-hoodie, base of the assassin pants, and the boots!
Hope you enjoy!! :D
Love, The NA.
