Oh, the "Water Gown" is stunning, Nidrail!! applause Sheesh!! I can't get over the detail you achieve with these small garments (I couldn't get that much detail in a full-sized costume!)--amazing! Perfect color, and I love the tiny flowers you have for her hair--the little japor snippet made me misty! happy Pretty-pretty-pretty!

And YAY on Aayla!! Can't wait to see that one! Or Kit Fisto--and yes, he does have a great smile! wink The headtails on Securra are going to be quite a challenge, aren't they...? thinking Good luck!

FF

Awww thank you FF!!! blush It takes a while, but I just LOVE doing it!!! I'm still trying to get in shape so I can make full size costumes that I'll wear FOREVER!!! tongue grin

Actually the headtails aren't going to be too bad--I have some clay that is expensive but I bought it that will be a little bendable even after it hardens, so that way they won't snap if bent a little. They wont' be very poseable though sad I mean after I pose them when I make it. The hardest part is going to be painting her face. I am SOOOO excited to do this one--I just have to work a little on my teeny-tiny eye/lip/blush & eyebrow painting skills and then I'm at it!! She's going to be my crowning achievement and I will probably end up having to make another one for me grin I love twi'leks--especially when they are DRESSED! grin I think they're the some of the coolest aliens anyone's come up with so far!!

Thank you and I will need some luck to pull it off!!!

Thank you for stopping by!!

God bless you!

Hey. These're very beautiful dresses. It shows how much effort you put into making them, what with the detail and seemingly-flawless stitching!

Out of curiousity, how much do they go for on eBay?

'oly smokes! shock How do you do it? Besides being cute, she looks so lovely! Is it hard to find the right type of material or to get the same kind of look when styling? I love all the attention you put into it - In fact I can't get over that you successfully duplicated the Japor necklace! She's Beautiful! love

Looking forward to the Kyp Fisto!

Vandalier Thank you!! It takes quite a while to finish each dress, and some are far more difficult than others.
Ebay prices are very widely ranging pricewise, being $150 and up to $540.

Your_Worhsipfulness
Thank you!!! blush
It is difficult to find the materials, if your a perfectionist. This dress, I've been waiting forever to find suitible velvet for it, and finally found some what was afully close, so there it is. It really depends on exactly how close to the origional you want it, and I try to go for gold happy There are some gowns which the material is far easier to find than others, but its all hit and miss.
The midriff has been my biggest challenge so far to make its style look like the origional, as on a doll a pattern that's perfect for people and shrunk for a doll still made her look rather inflated. The Midriff took me about 4 1/2 weeks of intensive work and 4 different versions before I finally got it done.

More dresses coming VERY soon!!!

Thank you both for stopping in!
God bless!
