From what i saw of it i really liked Dorme's nightgown thing in ATOC when she runs in after Obi and Ani when Padme gets attacked. Does anyone have any info on it or photos (or pattern ideas) cause from what i saw it looked like a nightdress with a dressing gown or robe over it.
any help would appreciated.
Here are a few shots from the outtakes for and from the second assassination scene in AOTC, taken from the RHS site.
Hope those help!

EDIT:: I found something, never mind the rest! 
This is probably a stupid question, but does any website have a list of the outfits and all the known handmaidens? I was digging around through the handmaiden society and didn't find those things exactally.  Or maybe I'm just blind.

Hi Obsydian!!
Handmaidens society does have all the known handmaidens, but I'll go ahead and list them out so you don't have to go back and look. It took me a bit to find them too...
ep 1:
Sabe, Rabe, Eirtae, Sache, Yane and Padme
Of course padme was queen too...
ep 2:
Corde, Verse and Dorme.
Corde and Verse died in the first scene, so only Dorme was seen in the rest of the film.
ep 3:
Motee
Elle
Now as for their costumes, Padawan's guide is a great place for that.
episode one costumes for handmaidens is here:
http://padawansguide.com/tpm_handmaidens.shtml
episode two costumes for handmaidens is here:
http://padawansguide.com/aotc_handmaidens.shtml
and episdoe three costumes for handmaidens is here: For the pictures of the costumes you have to scroll down some.
http://padawansguide.com/3_handmaidens.shtml
For more views of the costumes, I would use handmaidens society, because they have scene-by-scene captures of the handmaidens with padme.
Merry 10th day of christmas everyone!

I had a Handmaiden Fabric Find I thought I should share.
Dorme's AOTC Travel Dress (a.k.a. goodbye dress)
http://www.padawansguide.com/aotc_handmaidens5.shtml
The Diagonal Doubleweave Habotai, 45" at Thai Silks seems awfully darn close to what was used for Dorme's bodice and skirt (if I had known I would have taken a sample to fidm to compare). It only comes in white so it would have to be dyed.

Thanks for the tip. This is on my "maybe someday" list. I love distinctivefabric.com; they have been good to me. Too bad I can't afford anymore fabric right now, but maybe I'll order a swatch.

I want to do Moteé but I'm having trouble finding the undershirt fabric...I found Crushed Habotai on Thai Silks, but the problem is they're backordered and they have NO clue when it'll be in stock again...I've looked on Denver Fabrics, Fabrics.com, fashion fabrics, Distinctive fabrics...anyone have any ideas!? Also looking for fabric for the neck decoration...Meanwhile I'm waiting for some samples of the velvet to come in I'd like to get this done in time for Dragon*Con

But, if you're like me, you'd probably rather just make it yourself.
Ok this thread has a lot of pages. I clicked on this link, and I get some search page. Is there another place that makes these costumes?

that is perfect fabric.
i wish more people would make this gown! i made mine years ago, based on what i saw in the movie, before photos with any level of detail were out.
the embroidery brooch is goregeous...and the weird pockets. it's my favourite handmaiden gown.
one day, i'll remake it...when i magically find the time. hee hee.

RE: Handmaiden Costumes

I'm hoping this is the right place to post... please don't be mad if I should be asking somewhere else.
I'm a semi-novice tailor, and I'd like to try to make a EpI Handmaiden Battle Uniform for my (adult) sister, for her upcomig birthday. I've been trying to find resources online on suggested methods or tips for making these costumes, thus far finding very little beyond the most basic comments. What I have found:
Padawan's Guide Amidala/Handmaiden Battle Uniform photo-reference, with plenty of pictures, though not much detail.
Butterrick 4051 pattern, with a reasonable pattern to start from.
I'm hoping to make this costume look good, though I'm also trying to stay on a budget. Can anyone give me any advice on where to start, what I'll need, what pitfalls to watch out for, etc?
Thank you in advance for your help!

Ok I was going to do the gold hainmaiden outfit, till I saw the bottom. I am trying to figure out what they were thinking there. I also like the red one, and the presenate ones. However, I keep looking at the padawansguide site, and don't see what goes underneath the redone. Is it the same dress from the pre-senate one? Also, these colors, that pre-senate looks like a greyish blue velour fabric. But seeing as how I keep seeing 3 different colors with the Barris Offee dress how can I tell which color is right?

I just need a little help. I have decided I am going to tackle doing the red Handmaiden outfit. Now to me it looks like the design was made using the devore technique, but I saw a pic of someone that did embossing that had it look similar. Which one is it?
As for the dress underneath. It looks like a dark blue satin dress, or is it supposed to be purple?

that pattern is a great starting point for that costume, thats what i used for mine. i did make some adjustjments to the collar, i did a couple practice mockups till i got it looking the way i wanted. i left a slit on either side of the waist of the jacket for the belt to go through because it appears to be on the outside of the jacket at the back then come underneath at the sides and is underneath in front, for the skirt of the jacket i used the skrit panels from the pattern but i only used i think four of them and shortened them. then i just made fitted pants and a long sleeved t-shirt for underneath. let me know if you have anymore questions about it
