This is what I knocked up over the past couple of days for DS, to be used at the usual Freshers' week fancy dress party and/or Halloween party.  It's based on view C of McCall's M5550, lengthened to the ankle and with inverted pleats added to side and (introduced) back seam from high waist downwards to give a bit more fullness at the hem.

The 'brooch' fastening is a couple of bits of grey grosgrain with some silver cord stitched in a spiral.  It actuall fastens with buttonholes on the right front and buttons and a popper on the back of the left front.

He has a Palpatine mask (which is hideous!) and he acquired the light sabre recently for the purpose.

Jessie, who is very happy to be here!!  :),  but who has far too many sewing machines to be healthy, and a fabric stash which is becoming embarrassing.

Brilliant. Shame you couldn’t take a pic with him wearing his mask. 😆

I won’t be showing this pic to my DS though. Don’t want to give him ideas!! 🤣🤣

@Iminei That occurred to me too, but studying for a Professional Policing degree kind of excludes doing the creepy priest thing!!
