hello, I make customs for my 12" Padme doll, and I would like to attempt this project as my final and first HUGE project (I mean for the beading work and for since there is a lot of sewing)
I have a fairly good idea for the whole outfit, but have not a damn idea for the headpiece...I want to be very easily removable ...without messing or cutting or doing whatever bad to the doll's hair...do you have any idea for what material to use ??

I took some pictures of my unfinished dress with my web cam:

Oh, forgot to say: What a beautiful dress Ferd! The headpiece looks really good!
I'm too scared to even start working on a headpiece to my costume...

Great job, Ferd! Your niece will be the belle of every ball this Halloween!
_Madeleine_, looks like your dress is coming right along! It's hard to see a lot of detail in your pics, but that detailing on the front sure does sparkle!

I've tried to add some photos that might be more detailed, but instead they got so dark. I'll have to take some more pics of the dress tomorrow in daylight
And when I'm finished with the dress, I'm going to take some pictures with a real camera

Okay, I may be a little behind, lol, but here's a great picture for anyone still trying to determine what fabric to purchase for the outer part of this coat:

You've probably seen it before, but I just thought I'd post it to let you guys know.

_Madeline_ Your dress looks lovely! Can't wait to see it complete
Don't let the headpiece worry you--It is constructed fairly easily (at least my version) Kay_dee had inquired on another board how I made mine--so here is the basic supplies. I will be updating my journal on this dress and I do have pics of the headpiece in various stages of done-ness.
I used wooden embroidery hoops, balsa slats, copper metallic paint, and fake hair. The process takes a while because it is built in stages to become sound. Then there is the detailing done with tiny pieces of wood. Then end result is quite light weight and pinned on and secured with bobby pins and hairspray. Voila! I will be happy to help any one out with this whole process
Thanks again for all the great compliments I really appreciate it Ferd
