Fem7 Stormtrooper-inspired Female Costume: Let’s Get in Formation

Costume maker Kevin Weir of KW Designs has unveiled his latest Star Wars-inspired armor. Called the Fem7, the armor is designed for the female body, and its details will help you stand out among your fellow stormtrooper cosplayers.

Fem7 is sold as a raw kit, meaning you’ll need to cut, paint and assemble it. Amanda Ward of Making Star Wars was one of the first to try out the costume, and she told The Daily Dot that although putting the kit together isn’t hard, it would be best if you had someone helping you. Kevin said you can assemble the costume completely in 40 to 60 hours. Amanda also said that while the costume does make walking and sitting a bit hard, it’s light enough that you can easily wear it for hours.

Fem 7 Trooper raw kit pricing and sizing. This Fem7 Armor can fit women who are 5'0" – 5'10" tall. This is a one size set of ABS plastic costume parts. Some modifications were made to the top edge of ab plate such as half round cut-outs to make more room for the breast area for the ladies with shorter torsos. The Chest-Back as well as the Ab-Kidney requires sizing to fit properly. Other parts should not require modifications to sizing. Orders normally take approximately 2-3 weeks to ship. Some orders might not take that long. Introductory Discount Sale ends March 31st 2016.
