I made the Wizard’s Robe. I thought it went together very well and very quickly. It’s not authentic in the slightest, but it is easy to make. I used panne velvet and it looks great. I think for a beginner it would be a lovely costume to make (although I don’t think it’s at all appropriate for SCA/re-enactment use). Experienced seamstresses will want to alter how the hood attaches and maybe make it more generously-cut from the waist down.
