Senatorial Dress - Star Wars: A New Hope
I had been wanting to remaking my Leia dress for a good while, and when we decided to go to the COSI Star Wars exhibit opening, I thought that would be a good time to have a new, better version. I found a bolt of the perfect fabric at Joann's, bought the whole thing, and ended up making the whole dress in under a week. I'm very happy with it. I just need a new belt now...

Construction Notes: This actually ended up being easier than the version 2.0 dress. I laid out my fabric folded over four times, then cut out a large "T" shape, using my first Leia dress as a general size guide. Then I sewed it up the sides and hemmed it. Added the collar (it has a hook and eye closure), and the hood, which I made based on the information available on Padawan's Guide!

See my page on my version 2.0 of this dress for information on the boots and belt.
