Other than the hemming I just finished the gown this weekend (I want to have the belt first to make sure to hem in the right places). Thanks for all of your insightful hints and instructions.
It really is a simple dress in comparison to the Padme stuff (not to mention the Bespin Leia). But it just feels cool to put on such an iconic dress. 
I have to say that my serger was invaluable for this project. I can't wait to have the belt done so that I can wear the costume to an event. When I have more finished pics I'll post. Thanks again all.

Here it is! I took it with my mobile phone on a self timer. I'm a blonde, but my hair is such a dark blonde in places that it can pass as brown.
I'm standing at the doors to the entertainment room in my old house, they look cool don't they? perfect place to stand.
And here's a detail of the belt.

I've posted this on RL and MWB already so Susie and Blue will be tired of seeing it already. LOL
But since I've asked questions and got help here, I wanted to post my finished costume:
The material is a cotton/spandex blend that I found 3 years ago and didn't feel like buying something different. So its a bit heavier than the JetSet. But the nice thing is that it really breathes and I didn't have to worry about making the gathers under the belt. They stay just fine with the cotton material.
I just loved wearing it to Free Comic Book day. After having so many EU costumes, it was nice for people to know who I was for once. LOL!

Thanks, KayDee
I wasn't sure how well I could pull it off. I have a long rather than a round-shaped face. But I was pretty pleased with the effect. I was surprised as well at the difference hair color makes.

You look beautiful, Jade. The dress turned out lovely and your belt is fantastic! It's such a fun costume, isn't it? Great work.

That looks great! You look good as a brunette
That costume is so much fun to wear to events. So, have any little girls asked if that was your real hair? I get them all the time asking how long my 'hair' is lol. I just stretch out my arm and tell them "This Long". Their eyes get HUGE and then they start playing with their own hair trying to see if it is long enough lol.

Katana, I don't know how I missed your post! You look great in front of those doors. Great job!

Thanks, that was the doors to the lounge room at my old house, looks very Star Warsy, doesn't it?
I no longer live there, but I did take a picture for compositing purposes.
Currently the dress has a million wrinkles in it after being packed in a box and I want to get it out for the Clone Wars premiere.
