Help Me Obi-Wan Kenobi...

If you asked me 15 years ago if I was a Star Wars fan, I would have avoided you with a ten foot pole. I had heard legend of the crazy Star Wars fans and watched snippets of the original trilogy and prequels, but ten year old me was still not a fan of Darth Vader and was creeped out by the looks of Jar-Jar Binks. Jump to 2015 and the release of Star Wars: The Force Awakens; I'm hooked. The use of a strong, force-sensitive female character (Rey) with the careful addition of cute droids (BB-8) and old stars (Carrie Fisher, Harrison Ford, etc) rejuvenated my interest in the series and need to cosplay any form of the leading ladies' outfits.

Porgs!

So this first outfit was a bit of a last minute addition to my Disney wardrobe and was a result of my last minute trip to Joann's to get thread. I'd been eyeing the fabric since I saw it several months ago, but somehow I managed to talk myself into needing a third dress for my trip. Fabric is a novelty cotton featuring little porgs (cute bird-like alien creatures from Star Wars: The Last Jedi) with R2D2 heads scattered throughout the print. It's made from Simplicity 8910 (the same as one of my other gowns from the trip, so more on this later) and came together quite quickly since I had already discovered the quirks in the pattern. It was super comfy and lightweight to wear and it will definitely be a staple this summer.

Disneybounds of 2020

Happy New Year! I just got back from my 2020 trip to Walt Disney World and had an absolutely wonderful time (despite the fact that I am currently suffering from a bit of a cold and sore throat)! When planning this trip, I scheduled it during my birthday and I knew I had to make a couple outfits to wear while in Orlando to make my trip even more magical. I'll eventually post final shots of the various outfits, but in the meantime here's a few shots of my purchased outfits I wore during the trip.
