	I am really having a hard time finding the right material for the skirt. Any suggestions? I really am looking for the geometric pattern and all I keep finding is floral laces. -----signature----- Seamstress, not just a MATERIAL GIRL I dream of seams in a chiffon sea.

	If you have your heart set on that geometric triangular repeat pattern, then you will have to make it yourself. Armed with the high-resolution photos hosted at padawansguide.com, you can see that the triangular rows do repeat in three or four large rows of eight to ten. It looks like Black Silk/Rayon Velvet in which the design has been burned out with fiber-etch (aka devore technique). The red handmaiden costumes, among others, have devore designs. 45" Black Silk/Rayon Velvet www.dharmatrading.com/html/eng/684334-AA.shtml A primer on Devore: http://www.dharmatrading.com/devore/ -----signature----- Between the idea / and the reality / Between the motion / and the act Falls the Shadow (T.S.

	Since making this dress for myself, I've been on a constant lookout for the right lace. After staring at the high res images for hours and studying the skirt at the FIDM exhibit, I'm convinced it's a chenille lace. I only came to this conclusion after spying the mesh-like lines over the under layer. You could try searching for Chenille Lace. I've found a few, that while not quite what I was looking for, aren't floral laces. -----signature----- This signature intentionally left blank (it ain't blank anymore, is it?)

	Thanks Ladies. It looks like I am going to need to dust off my art skills on this one. I am going to try the Dupone method. I have had the chems for a while. Just waiting for the right project to work on it with. -----signature----- Seamstress, not just a MATERIAL GIRL I dream of seams in a chiffon sea.

	I've started re-researching this for my version 2.0 I'm going to completely remake the corset, skirt, and necklace. Upon studying the necklace for hours I think I've come up with some pretty decent notes. Be sure to enlarge it to original size to read the notes. I also found some excellent fabric here in the garment district of NYC. It's a burnout velvet, but it's better than everything else I've found over the past 4 years! It's black, not purple, it just photographed funny The scanned swatch. It has some lurex threads woven into it as well, but like I said, better than the laces I've been finding (all have been floral so far). I hope to have this done before 2008 is over -----signature----- ObiWill and BenaeQuee Happily Married Geeks since May 28, 2006 - Have you tried Hoop Dancing? www.hoopnotica.com

	Gorgeous fabric and great notes. I hate being in Florida with no garmet districts like NY and LA have. I'd love it if they would make more of those places available by internet for us in the less sophisticated areas of the country. What are some the names of the places you visit there in the garmet district? -----signature----- Seamstress, not just a MATERIAL GIRL I dream of seams in a chiffon sea.

	That fabric looks great Benae! I'm still on the lookout for a decent fabric for my remake of the costume. I have a proper corset which I will wear underneath, so I just need to remake the sheath to go over the top. I'd like to also do the feather caplet to go with it this time. Though I don't have a definite time frame for getting it done, just when I find the right fabric. Thanks so much for the necklace image, that is so helpful! I've always been confused by the necklace, and that picture makes it so much clearer! -----signature----- Princess, Senator and Jedi Clone Trooper In Training My Costuming Live Journal: http://last-chael.livejournal.com/

	I started working on the 'brooch' of the necklace My Supplies All from M&J Trimming of course lol. Work-in-Progress with the original piece. Almost done! Beading is so relaxing and actually goes pretty fast I opted for two Marquise stones instead of hunting down/making the 'pacman' beads... I honoestly like my version better lol It catches more light better and is more sparkly -----signature----- ObiWill and BenaeQuee Happily Married Geeks since May 28, 2006 - Have you tried Hoop Dancing? www.hoopnotica.com

	BQ wonderful work. I actually like the Marquee jewels better than the pacman ones. It looks classy and eligant. I think I am going to use a black satin to stich the beads to then attach that to the velvet parts. I love doing embroidery, but with the amount of time it takes I don't get to do nearly as much as I'd like to do. Questions: What size are the large round jewels? What size are the marque jewels? Could you do a list with the sizes and quanity of the the beads and jewels you used? -----signature----- Seamstress, not just a MATERIAL GIRL I dream of seams in a chiffon sea.
