Yep, you heard right. I’m going to make a Star Wars costume 
. No, NOT from the original trilogy, from the new one (shoot me if you must, but leave me in peace, thank you). I’ve always LOVE Padme’s costumes in the new triliogy and frequently considered creating a costume, but never had the full inspiration. Well, due to my friend Alex Beard’s influence and my sister’s insistance to put up my hair in the Attack on Naboo style, I have now got the inspiration! And the dress .
Padme's Purple Senator Costume
Is not this a GORGEOUS dress? I’m SO excited to get work on this costume. First I have to shop for fabric, as I don’t have any right now ( 
), but that will be fun. I think what I’m going to do is buy a solid purple velvet for the coat, and then iron/burn the flame design into the fabric. I LOVE the pattern on the velvet (part of what I picked this dress), so I’m going to try and match it as closely as I can .
