As previously mentioned, I'll be attending Costume College at the end of July and with that comes lots of new projects to work on. For the Thursday night Welcome/Pool Party, the theme is Garments of the Galaxy and I've decided a very fitting choice would be to make a 1950's inspired Princess Leia based loosely on this picture:
This is partly because my original plan was to wear this to my 5 year college reunion this past weekend, but that didn't happen. Moving forward I'm planning to use the bodice and skirt from one retro pattern I own but the elbow length bishop sleeves from
Charm Patterns Night and Day dress. And of course, I'll be decked out with Leia's iconic cinnamon roll hair and some form of a metallic belt. Another bonus wear for this dress is I'll be visiting Disney World in January where the new
Star Wars : Galaxy' Edge opens in late August. With all the media from Disneyland's version which just opened, it's going to take a lot of will power to resist the urge to get an annual pass and fly down to Orlando for their opening days. I'm just so excited!
Do you have a favorite Star Wars character?
