Princess Leia – Star Wars (Animated/Clone Wars/Gentle Giant Maquette Style)

Made for: Wonderfest 2006

Background: When I first saw this new maquette produced by Gentle Giant, I wasn’t sure that I liked it – it eventually grew on me, and I thought it would be fun to make as a costume.

Patterns Used: KwikSew 2582 (altered)

Dress: I used a KwikSew pattern for the dress that was very similar to it, and I didn’t have to change it much! I used white spandex for the dress, and lined it with a skin-tone spandex. The only alterations I made from the pattern were the slits up the front, adding the sleeves and adding the hood.

Belt: The belt both Chase and my father helped me make; just like my original Leia belt, we bought a big piece of leather and cut the shape out, then dyed it white. The metal pieces are craft metal with the buttons glued on, and then each piece was rivetted onto the belt.

Accessories: The boots and other accessories I already had.

History: This ended up being a whole lot of fun to wear! One of my favs 🙂
