Where I got everything to make my version of Princ Where I got everything to make my version of Princess Leia’s wedding dress 💚
Eras Tour Indy night one was ✨magical ✨ The Eras Tour Indy night one was ✨magical ✨ The concert was amazing, @lindenash ‘s friendship bracelet jacket and @chasingphotography ‘s jersey turned out so cute and it was so fun to get to wear my lavender haze costume from dragoncon to the actual concert! (Tho, I did switch to flats for standing for 3.5 hours). It was so surreal to actually see the show in person! I got to sing exile with Taylor Swift and 69,000 friends!! It was a once in a lifetime experience and I’m so, so grateful we were able to go.
Shot my new Mara Jade costume from dragoncon this Shot my new Mara Jade costume from dragoncon this year on the white backdrop last weekend too.
“If a man talks shit then I owe him nothing.” “If a man talks shit then I owe him nothing.” My Taylor Swift costume, featuring Luna. I didn’t get to wear a Halloween costume yesterday, but I’ll be wearing this all day today in Indy 😎
It’s my 20th anniversary of my first “serious” Princess Leia costume! Here’s a retrospective; it was hard to find pics from every year because at some point I was like, “I have enough pics of this we don’t need to take more” 😹
Continuing my “Where I got everything” series Continuing my “Where I got everything” series with my Lady Jessica costume from Dune part 1!
I often get asked “hey where’d you get X for t I often get asked “hey where’d you get X for that costume?” so I decided to start a new series where I break down where all of my materials and pieces came from. Starting off with the one I get the most frequent questions about, my most recent Padme lake gown from 2019. (I really want to do this with a super old costume, like my fabric came from Hancock fabrics, my grandma gave me that piece, the wig was from Cosworx, the armor was a garbage can… 😹)
For Halloween this year I made my two “little si For Halloween this year I made my two “little sisters” Skye and Walker their own Jedi costumes. These were tricky to fit without having them there to try on! I need to do a couple more adjustments but I think they turned out cute.
First round of white backdrop shoots done yesterda First round of white backdrop shoots done yesterday! I felt like these 3 (Mara Jade, Shin Hati, and Taylor Swift) needed photos first because I did a really bad job at taking photos of them at dragoncon. I should have photos back in a couple of days! Next round I’m planning on T’Lyn, Padme Tatooine and honeymoon Leia.
I wore Scarlet Witch out to an event a couple of w I wore Scarlet Witch out to an event a couple of weeks ago so figured I might as well post at least one of the photos.
Making my 2 Black Widow costumes - my comic look f Making my 2 Black Widow costumes - my comic look from 2010 and my black widow inspired dress for dapper day at Disney world in 2020/2021.
Making of my Padme veranda nightgown - I started o Making of my Padme veranda nightgown - I started on this back in 2006 and didn’t finish it. Tried to pick it up again in 2012 but only made things worse 😹 finally in the midst of 2020 I got it all out, took it all apart and finally finally finished it.
Making of my Arwen “blood red” dress from lord Making of my Arwen “blood red” dress from lord of the rings, originally made for SDCC back in 2005. Maybe I’ll bring her back to dragoncon next year for her 20th anniversary like I did for Ozma this year? 😹
I noticed a trend with my last 2 posts, so I might I noticed a trend with my last 2 posts, so I might as well complete the row - Leia with a lightsaber.

Todays #cosplayover40halloween prompt is mashup bu Todays #cosplayover40halloween prompt is mashup but I don’t really have any proper “mashup” costumes. The closest I can get is something like my Leia Skywalker here. I borrowed Kevin’s tunic, belt and boots for a quick little “what if?” Photoshoot.
GWRM Princess Leia edition! It’s been a while si GWRM Princess Leia edition! It’s been a while since I wore Leia so I figured I’d film the whole process. This is about 45 minutes truncated to 1 😹
Wore Scarlet Witch out to zooboo last weekend. I t Wore Scarlet Witch out to zooboo last weekend. I thought this would be my only costume outing for the month but now I’m jumping into Leia today and Dorothy tomorrow and first round of white backdrop shots next weekend! Hoping to make up for my lack of content I made during dragoncon 😹
Unbox my new @rspropmasters Boushh helmet with me! Unbox my new @rspropmasters Boushh helmet with me! This is a shorter version of the full video (you can see the whole thing on the other platforms!) I can’t wait to get the rest of my Boushh costume fixed up to do a Photoshoot with this! It’s the Princess Leia costume I’ve worn least because I sold my original helmet only a year or so after finishing it! Also looking forward to setting up a cool little display around this - been wanting to install some shelving in a spot in our living room so this is a good kick in the pants to do that.
Todays theme for #cosplayover40halloween is Disney Todays theme for #cosplayover40halloween is Disney/pixar and I thought I’d post Snow White for it today, since it looks like I may need to get her out of storage and cleaned up for wearing this weekend… I wonder if I have time to shorten the bodice?? Probably not but that’s something I’ve wanted to do to this costume for yeaaars 😹 I think it’d be easier to just make a new bodice than alter this one that much !
