I know I'm a little late but, Obi-Dawn I can't wait to see your finished costume! I love all of your work!

Yeah, no worries, kreleia. That stuff isn't too heavy, just the pattern is huge and the color don't look as good(of course). The other stuff I have is not that heavy either, like a table cloth but not too thick and since I was going to be dyeing the velvet, I can test a square to see but it still was closer than the black and gold stuff from Fashion Fabrics Club. At least this stuff has the purple

I ordered both of those swatches off ebay a while ago. Neither was a good match for the real costume.
The best alternative match we have found (since the real exact match velvet seems to be sold out now.) is from Thai Silks. You can order there:
Washed Velvet - Tourmaline Green
Obi-Dawn posted photos of the fabric just a few posts up in this thread.

Well, you just reposted a link to a photo of the washed tourmaline green from Thai Silks that Obi-Dawn and I had shown people earlier in this thread. We are trying to help you by telling you that yes, that is the closest velvet you will find right now. The others you are finding are not going to look as close as tourmaline.

Polly, we like to keep the costume topics to the threads they belong to. So this question about Padme Amidala Ep I dress fabric belongs here: http://boards.theforce.net/message.asp?topic=4141465
You should re-post it there please. Thanks

If you ever need a thread unlocked, go to the link that says "mods online" at the top or contact the forum Mod Sister_Sola and request for it to be unlocked.
For now, I've contacted an online mod to do it since you didn't know. I'm not a mod, so I don't have any administrative powers on this forum. The EpI Queen Amidala Thread is now Unlocked
By-the-way, how many costumes are you making Polly? And if you are a beginner making these costumes yourself, I might suggest starting with something a little easier than EpI Queen Amidala. Just my advise. Unless you have someone at home with a lot of skill and experience that is making all of these for you (or helping with parts of it). Most of us just don't have time to hold anyone's hand and tell them step by step what to do. You need to have a little sewing knowledge (or a lot for a complex Queen Amidala costume) to pull this off.

If I recall correctly, a topic will re-lock itself if no one posts a new message in it within 24 hours of being unlocked. Perhaps that's what happened to the Amidala thread.

Oh well. When Polly is ready to have it unlocked she can PM a "Mod Online" above when she is ready. Now I know why SisterSola posts 'opened and bumped' or whatever she does. LOL! It was unlocked, I had checked after the mod told me she did it.
Polly - I don't know a thing about the Ep I queen amidala gown. In fact, most of us can't tell you what fabric to buy just by seeing scans of swatches you post. We all know from shopping online that we often have unpleasant surprises because the photo a fabric store can post often looks so different than it really appears in person once we order it. The only reason I knew which green velvet you should order for this gown is because I recently was looking into making this costume. So I'd already ordered a lot of those swatches you posted.
