Padme – Star Wars (Snowbunny)

Made for: Summer 2008

Background: My husband asked me to put this together to match his new Clonetrooper for a 501st event we were doing, since I already had most of the materials.

Patterns Used:
None, though I used Benaequee’s tutorial for my cape.

Bodysuit:
A white spandex bodysuit I already had on hand – had bought it for another costume and decided not to use it, and it was perfect for this. I added a hood made out of white spandex to it.

Cape:
I found the fluffy trim on the clearance rack at Hobby Lobby sometime back, so I bought all they had and just tucked it away. For the cape, I used BenaeQuee’s notes and tutorial (link above) on how she made hers – it was really pretty simple. I decided to use matte white satin for the outside, and ice blue satin for the lining. I handsewed the trim on. The ties were some cording I bought, and sewed some of the trim to the end of it.

Accessories:
The gloves, and the boots I already had. The belt is my battle Padme belt. I sewed some of the furry trim around pieces of elastic to make the glove and boot toppers.

History: When I sold my battle Padme several years ago I also sold the belt, so I haven’t been able to wear this costume since then, since I no longer have the belt. But I still have everything else, so I’ll either sell what’s left one day, or update it… we’ll see.
