	yesterday I have to begin the collar for the corset gown, it remains to me has to make what will go around the neck, painting and to finish with some spangles... and then I will make the skirt and the corset I believe that I will buy it! then I put some photographs! http://img171.imageshack.us/img171/5653/imgp1409ax1.jpg http://img185.imageshack.us/img185/7219/imgp1413so1.jpg http://img512.imageshack.us/img512/7750/imgp1414or3.jpg http://img338.imageshack.us/img338/72/imgp1416vp6.jpg http://img512.imageshack.us/img512/2769/imgp1417oj9.jpg -----signature----- The dark is generous, and it is patient, and it always wins but in the heart of it's strength lies weakness:one lone candle is enough to hold it back.

	Looks absolutely gorgeous Liannb! What a fantastic job! How did you make your gauntlets? They look great! My first ones turned out terribly, so I'm going to remake them along with the corset later this year. -----signature----- Princess, Senator and Jedi Clone Trooper In Training My Costuming Live Journal: http://last-chael.livejournal.com/

	Now I'm planning on making this one, with lots of help from a couple of teachers of course... I've been looking, planning and trying to figure out things about this gown now since... October. Thanks to Lisa, one of my teachers, I've figured out that the feather cape consists of about 1000 (!) feathers, and today they arrived. (We ordered feathers a couple of weeks ago) Maybe a bit "fussy", but oh what the hell. I have to know my limits. (I'm very fastidious and big on details, just so you know...) As some here may (must) know, the Star Wars Exhibition is going to Sweden next summer, and to my town! So of COURSE I have to have a decent Star Wars costume by then! (Okay, I have both a Darth Vader and an Anakin Skywalker costume, but they are both bought from eBay, and besides, I look alot more like Padmé than like Anakin ) We have also ordered lots (thousands!) and lots of beads, but strangely, not everything were in the package. So we have to order again. And I have not found anything that even remotely looks like the small "sticks" in the neckpiece, so we are going to search for necklaces we can destroy evil laugh and use pearls from them. Also, I still miss a decent fabric for the skirt (I don't like the flowery lace so much... so I'm looking for something more "spiderweb-like", since I think it's pretty impossible to find something exactly like the original gown) What we're doing now, is looking for pearls and sewing the corset up in cotton. I want to be finished by May, and I think I will. -----signature----- The Force is with us all

	Picked up the headband for this outfit at Express yesterday - yes, really! Thin, silver, double-band. (Unfortunately, they don't have it up on their website.) It will take a little pinching to get the bands closer together, but WOW! I was shocked! HAD to buy it - I try not to ever pass up finds like that. -----signature----- all ur base... i haz dem.

	Finished! These pictures were taken yesterday, and we (me and my teacher/slave) actually managed to buy two metal headbands that together looks exactly like the real ones, and just now, two days before the opening of the exhibition... Even though the feather cape is a little... not really as beautiful as the original one (that would be hard), the train looks a little different, I didn't manage to get a lace with a "geometric" pattern for the skirt, and I had to improvise a bit with some of the beads, I love it. Somewhat, at least. Just be nice with us, with tought that I (and my "helper") are very unprofessional, this is the first time ever any of us did something like this, and, you know... everything looks worse on pictures. http://img293.imageshack.us/img293/7418/corsetlisaimd4.jpg http://img47.imageshack.us/img47/4838/corsetlisaiijw7.jpg Also, I look a bit grumpy there, but I don't know why. And because those beads are so #¤%@ heavy, they "drag" the collar around my neck a little, so my "slave" attached some velcro on the back of the brooch. Other than that, the neckpiece simply holds together by several hooks. Now, it's just 30 more hours, some make up, shoes (of course), and then - Star Wars: the Exhibition, VIP-opening, here I come! (And I promise, I will be getting better pictures ) -----signature----- The Force is with us all

	I'm moving and I won't have internet for a couple of weeks, so I'm uploading the pictures now. http://img211.imageshack.us/img211/292/dsc08088us9.jpg Well then, me... with horrific make-up. (Not my usual area of interest) http://img254.imageshack.us/img254/3329/dsc08095zd7.jpg Here we go again, and here we have the (more than 1.000) feathers... and a very curious whippet. http://img369.imageshack.us/img369/1538/dsc08100mj8.jpg ...and now a curious sheltie wanted to take part in the picture. http://img254.imageshack.us/img254/708/dsc08105pv6.jpg Just before the opening of the exhibition. (And boy, did I get comments... I even got thumbs-up by... was it José Araújo? (I was too excited to remember) http://img374.imageshack.us/img374/3262/dsc08119xg4.jpg From the back. And of course Darth Vader was there. Guess who was glued to the Darth Vader exhibition room? http://img168.imageshack.us/img168/2551/3povz9.png Oh and... Anthony "C-3PO" Daniels was of course there. Totally wonderful speech, I've got to say! "Even though 3PO is fluent in over six million forms of communication, swedish is not one of them."

	I am currently looking for the lace fabric for the overskirt to this costume. DOes anyone know of a good source for this black triangular patterned lace? I find tons of floral laces, but this one is a tough one to find. -----signature----- Seamstress, not just a MATERIAL GIRL I dream of seams in a chiffon sea.

	I must say that Ixectrona's dress is absolutely lovely, since I had a chance to see while running around as a rebel at the exhibit. -----signature----- "That is the beauty of grand opera; you can do anything...as long as you sing it" Anna Russell
