I actually had not thought of the tissue paper. Recently, I had shipped some solid silk velvet in a tube and it cost me an unGodly amount(it was domestic too) and then I requested it shipped back to me via box b/c I was NOT gonna pay the ridiculous amt twice.

Did anyone watch the season finale of Clone Wars? I was happy to see the modified version of this senate dress depicted in the episode. It was kind of like they took the velvet coat, removed the pocket sleeves, and shortened it to a hip length jacket happy And they got rid of the cumbersome hoop skirt. Her sleeves lacked embroidery design though, but there was some kind of design on the center front of the skirt.

The visual of wearing that costume and sitting at a desk computer typing just seemed so hilarious for some reason!

Yeah I saw that, Kaydee. It was interesting that they chose to use a modified version of this costume but it was nice to see.

****REMINDER TO THOSE WHO WANT TO ORDER THE FABRIC, please send me your info ASAP. Thanks.

Jocell and Anaria, I did receive your e-mails. Also I did locate some fabulous silk taffeta for the bodice and skirt. I sent a swatch to Kaydee and she thought it was a decent match, although a bit shiny but fairly decent. If anyone is interested, send me an e-mail for more details.

That is b/c I still am trying to coordinate what the customs will be. I know it will not cost much to ship but I need to factor in the customs fees/taxes on the import but I am trying to talk to the Port Authority about that and I have not had much luck.

Oh, I am in love with this dress! When I'll have money, I'll necessarily buy a fabric for a coat.
To tell the truth, I have studied all photos which exist with this gown and have come to a conclusion:
1) Fabric for coat - It's a silk burn-out velvet, which we already have. It's a great, that we have something original.
Colour coincides here with it (in my opinion similar to second swatch from left to right):

2) Fabric for coat lining and inner sleeves of dress - I think, that it's might be silk crinkle taffeta.
3) Fabric for dress - I think, it can be some sort of silk taffeta. It does not have so much shine and it looks heavy. Possibly, it can be heavy silk taffeta.
4) Fabric for lining of dress - I think, it's a silk duppioni in some sort of pink colour.

Just this is my imagination of fabrics for this dress.
