Date: 2005-05-20 05:20 pm (UTC)Thanks :) Its basically from a simple tunic pattern that I lengthened and added wider sleeves. The sleeves could stand to be wider for accuracy sake but they are good enough for me. Similarly, the collar could stand to be tighter.
The toughest part was getting the hood sizing right. The first one was too small and I looked like the flying nun with it! The second is bigger than it needs to be, but it will do fine :)
This summer I'd like to tackle a more formal Padme dress, though I'm not sure which one. I need a dress form first, though!

Date: 2005-05-20 04:31 pm (UTC)I was DYING to do that, and was so excited that there was a real live R2 for me to do it with on the dress' first time out!
That droid is amazing! Its radio controlled, moves around, spins his head and makes all of the R2 noises. The guy that made it called it a work in progress and has been doing it for 3 years!
