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 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 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 weeks ago so figured I might as well post at least one of the photos.

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 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Making of my Arwen “blood red” dress from lord of the rings, originally made for SDCC back in 2005.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 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 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 !

The theme for #cosplayover40halloween today is rai

The theme for #cosplayover40halloween today is rainbow so of course I’m gonna post a Padme lake dress 😹

I recently went back through the folder from this 2020 photoshoot and found several pics I never posted. When I get a new set of photos back from @chasingphotography I tend to just grab the ones i like best at first blush and upload those, and then sometimes I forget to ever go back and really comb through them! I’m glad I got bored enough to look through them last week and pull out a few more, I like this one.

Todays theme for #cosplayover40halloween is storyb

Todays theme for #cosplayover40halloween is storybook so that seems like a good excuse to post another Ozma of Oz pic from dragoncon this year. I originally debuted Ozma at dragoncon 2004, and I thought it would be fun to bring her back for the 20th anniversary, since she’s always been one of my fav costumes. A few updates for her return - a new wig (the old one became my ponytail for a Wonder Woman costume in 2008), and an updated tiara now with a removable crown for easier packing!

Making my medieval-inspired Princess Leia costume!

Making my medieval-inspired Princess Leia costume! This was just a fun idea I had back in 2017 for a dragoncon costume, and I put it together over a weekend.

Making my Anne Boleyn coronation gown from the movie Anne of the Thousand Days! I made this for dragoncon 2014. Can’t believe it’s 10 years old!
