Obi-Dawn,
Yes, please make one!!!!! 
My previous posts have been asking
for one as I do not have the time.
Even though I have been around since
page 8-ish... this thread is wonderfully
long and sometimes hard to find things
in.
I will be sure to give you the link to
my website as soon as it is up.
This will be sooo helpful! Thanks!

Thanks Kate and afaeryschild. I'm working on it. Anyone else have an opinion or suggestions?
afaeryschild, I'd love to link to your wonderful bodice embroidery sketch that is up at Mrs_M's site. Do you mind?

Obi-Dawn,

*colour* somewhere.. hmm.. must get
organized!

Thanks for the new pic afaeryschild! And, it was your suggestion that made me want to make a version2.0 for this thread. 
If enough people think a new consolidated thread is a good idea, I can ask to have this thread closed once the new one is up so that we won't have people posting in two different places. There would be a link to this first thread in the first sentence of the new one, so it could ALWAYS be accessed. Thoughts?

Its a great idea Obi-Dawn, it'll be much easier to find information. All I remember is page 15 has the high resolution pictures that I am constantly looking at for reference.

Obi-Dawn,
Your consolidation idea sounds like a good one so long as there is a way to prevent people from continuing to post on this thread. That would just get too confusing if there were two threads people were contributing to. I think the last post in this thread should also link to your new thread just in case people stumble onto this old thread first. (You may have already said that, but I can't remember!)
Sakura, I know how exciting it is just to find the right fabric! Gosh, if you found the cape fabric in the correct color WITH embroidery you have hit the jackpot! I had to dye a white embroidered fabric and I'm still not happy with the color. That's why I haven't cut it out yet.
My JoAnn's doesn't have the new Halloween patterns in yet either - Darn!
Time to get back to sewing

I Have Another Idea for consolidation:
Obi-Dawn, if they can't close this thread off to anymore replys and keep it readable I have another idea. Keep this thread going, but make a web page that lists all of our ideas. That way when people ask 'how did you all do X' we can refer them to that page.
It's just an alternate solution - the fact that you are willing to put time into consolidating all of the information is wonderful! I just figured you could have a tips page on your web site with all of our ideas and it would provide the same purpose.

Obi-Dawn,
I think it's a great idea too. I'd be happy to have my site linked too, for those interested in not completely accurate copies

Otakon was such an awful convention! The skit me and my groupies had planned got canceled due to disasters such as 2 members of our skit getting in a car accident, and another getting mugged. And much more. (Baltimore is an evil city)
But really now.. I wore my new shawl with my Amidala costume on Friday at the con, and it was a big success. One of the merchants in the dealers room gave me 50% off a movie poster with the image of Anakin and Amidala in her flower dress, standing back to back.
I also had my love story episode II resembling moment. My pseudo-boyfriend had called me Thursday night and told me all about a mess with his ticket information, and that he wouldn't be going to the con. Apparently things worked out and he got there. So during the early evening on Friday, I was helping two of my friends unload their car in front of the hotel while I was in costume. (It's amazing how well I can get around in my costume) For whatever reason I looked over and I saw him walking up to the hotel in his Prince Ferdinand (this dashing anime character) costume and I literally dropped everything on the ground and ran to hop into his arms. Leaving my roommates very confused, since they were yet to meet him in person. OH WELL. Just thought I'd share my happy moment because I'm actually not allowed to talk to most of my convention friends about it due to it being a secret relationship.. ^^;;
Anyway, earlier while my friend had been helping me tie the ribbons on my arms I was wonder how the rest of you put those ribbons on and keep them from slipping down onto your wrists? I had to sew mine into the middle of the sleeve to keep them up there. Is there a better way to do it?
Okay that's that.

Van, I'm glad you had a good time at the convention! I forgot to mention that I thought your photo with the storm trooper posted last week was really funny.
You mentioned a 'new' shawl for you costume. Do you have any photos of it?

I think the idea of a Version 2.0 is good. I like the idea of a site too - like the LOTR Costume Research site (http://www.alleycatscratch.com/lotr/). I would be willing to help with that but it is a bit more complicated.
When I came to this list, there were 12 pages already. It took me two days to read through all the posts. I complied a Word document of all the bits I found interesting and helpful, including the name and date posted. If you would like this, let me know and I'll e-mail it. I also compiled a list of patterns used and suggested, though I don't think it's complete.

If no one can devote the time and effort that goes into the LotR site (and Cat puts a lot into it, far more than meets the eye), why not something like this: http://frazzledfrau.tripod.com/moulinrouge/. It's essentially a link page, organized by what type of link--image site, recreation page, etc. One for this dress could be organized by dress part, with all of the recommendations & information for each item included. (To me, it seems like it would be easier to update, etc.)

Obi-Dawn, Did you want more information on how some of us are making our dresses. I haven't posted much on mine, in the way of paterns or fabrics etc.

Hey, if someone wants to make a separate webpage then I say go for it! That would be wonderful. I'd just really like to organize the info we already have here and keep it here for right now.
liannb and Jenny-lafluer, I would love to know as much as possible! Thanks.
kay_dee, I've assembled a lot of info from your posts. You don't mind my linking to them, do you? Your pictures with all the notes on them are awesome. And, I would link the consolidated thread in the last post of this thread and have this one closed. This thread would still be available to read through though.

Speaking as a chronic 'information-hound,' I can say that a website would be ideal. Also, I suggest a webservice such as Bravenet, who give 100mb free. Plenty of room for hosting pictures, even hi-rez ones. Photos of people's costumes in progress are invaluable as well. I've probably stared at everyone's for hours so far and I haven't even started mine. Links too the (hundreds of) SW sites would be great, all that sort of stuff. It would be great if everyone who made this dress contributed pictures, etc. It's probably been said...but here I'm saying it.
So speaketh the Wench!
Kate
Edit:Obi-Dawn must've posted at the same time. Hey look! I'm on page 25. O.o
Anyhow, I have plenty of webspace left in my Bravepages account, if I'm feeling adventurous enough to tackle the HTML I'll try to set something up. Is that okay with everyone? Feel free to contribute! (Kate is not friends with HTML. We don't get along very well...)
