    Hi Brittcs,

    That's Hilly Hindy from The Hillywood Show's Twilight Parody. From what I can tell, the BB Dakota jacket used in the film was not the LAKE BLUE color that is so popular with Twilight fans. I own the INKWORKS Costume swatch set, and the color is a very pale blue, bordering on grey. The actual jacket either started out darker and was distressed to release the dye or it was a lighter colored jacket dyed to achieve the proper color that was needed. The problem is that the jacket is built from both 100% cotton and 100% polyester. If you don't know, Polyester is nearly impossible to dye. For Hilly Hindy's jacket that she's wearing in that photo, I customized the same BB DAKOTA LEIGH CARGO HOODIE (not the replica that's out now) to be the exact shame color as the one worn by Kristen Stewart. Here is a great picture showing the true color of one of the film used coats. It's a tad darker than it would be in person, as Robert's peacoat isn't that dark:

    Is there any way to get the jacket in that lighter blue color? Can you make another? I'm guessing you got the "silver birch"/"beige" one and dyed it with a blue?

    I'm curious as well, on the process you went through to get the jacket that color. It looks great.
