Author Topic: Rainbow dress
Date Posted: 4/2/02 10:08am Subject: RE: Rainbow dress
I wanted to bump this topic up, cause I am still trying to make this gown.

Question 1# : Does anyone have any idea how to do her hair for this gown? My hair is a little to short, so I was going to do extentions or a wig. Any suggestions on how to keep that curve shape?

Question #2 : Goes along with the hair question. The hair accessories, what are those made of?

Any help would be most appriecated!

The accessories in her hair just look like padded fabric-covered head bands. You can find headband "blanks" at craft stores. As for the *size* difference, though, you'd probably have to be a bit more creative. Maybe use the inside rings of smaller embroidery hoops, glue on some padding, and wrap in fabric. **shrug** Or maybe there are doll headbands you could use...

I wish I could give you an idea about how to do the hair itself. As it is, I haven't a clue either. Maybe queenseamstress knows, or has some ideas - she's the resident hairdresser, afterall. wink

kreleia ^.^

have you thought about putting a hairpiece or extensions around a (foam maybe?) form of some sort?

Gosh, I don't know about the hair stuff......
What I'm having a problem with is the arm/neck bands, I can't seem to find the stuff to make it, or how!

For the armbands and necklace. You can make it outta PVC Sintra. It works really well. Just try typing in PVC Sintra on a search engine and you can find a place to that will sell it to you. You can also find instructions on how to heat bend it. I can get you exact sites. Let me look through my list of addresses. And I'll get back to you.




Mrs. M- Thank you so much, that helps with how the chiffon connects to the arms of the dress!

Princess1- Here is some info I have found.

This site has information in using Sinra

This site also has information in using Sinra, but goes a little more in depth


This site sells Rigid PVC Foam board, though I've never ordered from him, so I don't know if it's a good site or not

You can also find Sintra at a local plastic store or a sign printing store. That's how I found mine.

Thanks afaeryschild-those are GREAT-cause of the size I can see a lot of detail, although it does show me a lot of my inaccuracies! LOL

What are people doing for fabric colour-because I notice that depending on the light mine are either exact are off...

Princess1:

on the 2nd page of this thread you can read what I did instead of dyeing. But then again, mine is nowhere NEAR as accurate as your girls' costumes.

Basically, if you look at http://members.aol.com/jpalotay/rainbow.html
my colour is very accurate in shading: where she is walking with Anakin, but in the pic of her in full length at

www.geocities.com/mrsmayimnaar/Rainbow.html

the shading looks a little different cause of the light...my back is also blue instead of purple because it looks that way in the Forbidden Love trailer instead of Video 11...
