Hi everyone! I am going to start making this cosutme later today. I am hoping to get it done for an event in 3 weeks. Thank you all for your suggestions and ideas. I am sure they are going to help. I couldn't find any of the patters that others have suggested, but I did find Simplicity 5106, which I think with a few modifications should work out fine. I'll keep you all posted with my progress.

I've finally cleaned my Web site up a bit, so some previous links may be broken. The updated page for this costume is here: http://www.lesawilliams.com/Padme/Sleeveless.htm
I've added some info to the hair section, and maybe in a few other places.

Possible fabrics for this costume: http://www.fabric.com/home-decor-fabric-suede-fabric-leather-fabric-butter-suede-fabric.aspx?cm_mmc=Email-_-02/16/06%20just%20arrived-_-Product-Just-Arrived-_-butter%20suede
http://www.distinctivefabric.com/fabric.php?product=SUEDE2
I don't have either of these, but they look like they would work for anyone looking for fabric.

YAY I am going to do a full size costume, finally!
OK I got a couple questions:
Here's a couple pictures:
Simplicity 8589
http://www.fiercekitten.com/sewing/patterns/s8589.jpg
Butterick 4201
http://community.webshots.com/photo/548795179/2317213890036514294CXSJLc
http://community.webshots.com/photo/548795179/2296227430036514294ZhwmHh
Question is, on Butterick 4201, I can't find a picture of the cover, and thus it probably is very difficult to find that pattern in the first place. But has anyone used S 8589?? On the cover it appears that it has the correct fullness to make the few wrinkles required for this outfit, whereas B 4201 does not appear to have any, from the finished vrs. that lady did. Has anyone used these patterns? Suggestions? I intend on re-designing the top, of course, to make it as close to the origional as possible.
ALSO
Is there a good (and reletively good priced) place to get Suede like that? And what about boots?
Yes I am just beginning to research this whole thing, and I'm very sorry if the answers to my questions are already in this thread, but I am leaving in a couple days and do not have the time to read through all of this 
Thank you all so much!
Take care and God bless!

EDIT I looked on Google and within a few pages found this for boots:
http://www.newport-news.com/assets/prod_images/prod_3/3f0724a_3.jpg
BUT I can't find the item ANYWHERE on their website! At least it appears they HAD the boots at one time.

Hey, those boots don't really match, I got them and their design is great but the color is all wrong. They are more of a rust(read orange brown) than the muddy brown that Padme's are for this costume.

could they be dyed, do you think? I figured they were the wrong color, from the picture. How much were the boots?

They were $30 and I checked into getting them dyed at a shoe shop in the mall and they would have cost another $100 to dye plus I think the zippers would have had to be replaced or painted because they would be the wrong color.

Problem: they are sold out of those boots. Anyone know a secondary source to get them?

Here's the navy top and gauntlets, of course, I didn't do the brooch, or anything else. This was done a few months ago and haven't worked on it since. 
And here's me wearing it, with my pregnant pag attached (pregnant pad attached to dress form too.  )
Don't mind the out-of-it look. 
So whadya think for a first-time, laid-back look?
