As I said last update, I had gotten the skirt basically put together. It’s still where it was back then – the gathering at the waistband needs to be tweaked, I need to put the waistband on, and hem it.
(I think I am going to leave it a little longer than the dress in the movie is – in the movie it comes right above her ankles – I think I will make it just below, close to how I did the pink dress.)
Last night I got the bodice pieces cut out and put together. It’s just together very basically – I still have a lot left to do on it.
(Sorry, I should have lightened this a little, didn’t realise it was so dark last night)
I’m going to work on that some more this weekend, if not tonight.
I had a pattern that included a little round puffy sleeve – I pulled it out, and guess what the one piece that’s missing is? Yep. So I just made a stab at it using some leftover lining.
And then here’s one in the real fabric, just pinned on:
It’s only gathered at the top, I didn’t do the bottom yet – I ran out of bobbin and decided to call it a night.
I’m fairly pleased with it so far. I’m especially happy with the colours. (green has become my favourite colour over the past couple of years!)
I also messed around with bespin Leia just a little bit last night – I safety pinned it all in place so I could move it around. I think I’m going to have to pin it to myself and let my mum tweak the whole thing, though. I don’t want to go through all this on the dressform only to have it wrong.
