Okay, this is just an idea for the seams..

My plan so far was to use the lining pattern for a strapless dress, just to help keep everything comfortable and sturdy on the dress. I'm using Simplicity 5207 for the lining. What I was planning on doing was just cutting two long bits, and then putting in the seams in the side.

My new idea is to modify Simplicity 5044. It has some of the seams in there, so all you would need to do is extend the skirt part and cut some of the pieces into two to get some of those seams. Do you think this will work? *is now hesitating before cutting anything*

when i saw the pictures i thought of the faggotting as surlygirlie mentioned. here are a couple pages that have something about it:

http://vintagesewing.info/1930s/36-hsc/hsc-6.html

this is a long page, select trimmings from the drop-down menu and faggotting can be found under this section

this page has a few pictures of faggotting stitches.

Heh, Trisha never does anything the easy way does she? Even the 'simple' costumes have tiny difficult details like this.

LOL! I had the exact same thought when I saw these pictures, Sola. It can't ever be easy! But at least the challenging details really do help beautify these costumes. happy

In regards to the pearls, I've had a few inklings that they looked sort of silverish in certain pictures as well, but in others they don't. It's hard to tell. If the person who took those photos responds to Maggie's guestbook query about posting them on her site, then maybe he/she would answer a few questions about the colors for us as well.

PlayzObee: No. I don't think that the pearls are attached to the brooch. In the first pic, they end at the very edge of the brooch on the right shoulder (Padme's perspective of right). I think that they are tacked down to the fabric under the brooch.

I'm not sure if its just how the dress was stored and those are wrinkles in the dress, but between the seams in the front it seems as though there are pleats that are directed toward the interior of the dress.

Ok, he replied and said "they were metallic...I remeber when watching the movie thinking to myself how impractacle her nighty was when wearing it to bed. those beads had to be uncomfortable." :-)

I asked if they were a light silver or darker metallic - we'll see if he remembers..

Eeek! Wonder at which exhibition will this dress ended up at.

If FIDM, there is a high chance of a lot of things being further confirmed by many expert eyes BUT if it comes to Singapore, I really can't give that much infos due to my still lacking costuming skills I got (even tho' 6+++ more months to polish it up) and ban on photograhy and maybe even sketching tho' I can legally do the later as will probably be an insider.

Ok - he said in his opinion, he thought they were a "light polished metallic"... Hope that helps!!

I saw another picture from the same event (different camera) and the fabric looks sort of blue-silvery. Still might be a function of the lighting, though...

For the colour, I'm going with the colour that is in the Behind The Helmet picture, since it's an offical picture from Star Wars. I figure that colour is most accurate because it comes directly from starwars.com. Any silver/grey/blues all seem to just be reflections in the light.
