It was mentioned in the much earlier posts. 
I was thinking to doing the same as the Armbands in my case keep slipping off to below my elbows. But how do you think we can glue to elastic band to under the band in between the seamline?

I would put two "bars" on the underside of the arm band plates, that elastic could be threaded through. Does that make sense? Then you could just sew the two elastic ends together and have a stretchy arm band that could be pulled on and still shrink back to fit your arm tightly.
This would also solve the circulation problems mentioned above!

Hello Everyone,
First, I just want to say that all of your ideas and costumes look great. This is why I need your help.
Let me tell you a little bit about who I am, and what I hope to accomplish from writing this post. I am a manager of a small chain theatre in Daytona Beach, Fl. and I am trying to do the impossible. I am trying to outfit about 22 employees in various costumes for the opening weekend. One of them being a girl who really wants to dress as Padme in the Battle Arena costume. After reading through all the posts I told her to look for the Pants and Top at any local store, something off the rack. She has boots and the figure to sport such an outfit and is willing to make whatever is necessary to complete it. So, I need help on how to quickly put together the following items...
1. The Belt and Pouches
2. The infamous Arm-Bans
3. Cape
4. Any tips on the hair style
5. Any tips on spray painting boots
Again, I am really trying to get everyone ready, study for finals, run the theatre and trying to remember to eat & sleep. So, and help here would be hot.

Yeah! that sounds good...if what I'm envisioning is what you're talking about. I was thinking of bending sheet metal over on both ends, then stringing through some elastic. But then again...I have absolutely no experience with sheet metal, so I have no idea if that would work!

As for the hairstyle, check out the third page of the female hairstyles thread. tennispadme and Jedi Girl of Corellia both have offered suggestions of how to do the Arena hairstyle near the bottom of the page.

::dreamy sigh:: They would make such a cute couple. In real life that is...anyways, after getting my head out of the clouds...is it just me or in that picture does her shirt look more creamy than white compared to the pants? In all the pictures the colors all seem so different! Sometimes the belt looks super white, other times it looks creamish. Maybe I should get my eyes checked

You're not alone, AZDaizy! I almost went crazy trying to figure out what parts were darker than the rest. I'm almost finished with this costume, it's not perfectly accurate, but It'll do fine I guess... I'll try and post a picture when I finish it.

Looks all white to me in this one:
Voila
However, for my costume, I have a cream belt/pouches, boots, and cape. Ah well!

I must had been dreaming these few weeks.  Only today I noticed that Padme's Pants also got a seam going down the center of her legs making the pants having 4 seams on each leg. 
Saw it on this big poster (the characters in front of line of Jedi Knights) while getting my Charity Premiere Ticket.

Well, I found the perfect pants and boots, I just have to paint the boots and get the shinguards from my fiance. I also found the perfect material for the cape. It is a waffle-something patterned blanket (bought 2 of them) and they are a very light cream color. I was thinking of dyeing them darker, but I am not exactly sure how to dye fabric. Any suggestions? And I am still stuck on the shirt thing, I have no more ideas for that, and I have looked everywhere for a shirt that resembles it. It is so HOT here in Texas at this time of year, that there are no places that have long sleeved shirts. Good thing I am going to Alaska soon.
I bought some leather stuff to make the belt, and have made pouches out of plastic mould. I have my gun, just have to paint it in that shiny silver.
I saw a pic of Amidala and Anakin on Tatooine and it looked like she was carrying a type of hat in her hand. Anyone know what pic I am talking about. I will try to find it and post it in a bit. Okay...here it is:

Well, if anyone has any suggestions for me, I would really REALLY appreicate it. Thanks.

I don't think that's a helmet -- I think she's just holding the drape of her cloak in her hand.
That pic is great though! I hadn't seen it in such high res before! It will be helpful when I make this costume!

Well, I finally finished it! It's not the best, but it's pretty good for my first try at costuming...
