#0042 – The Princess’ Gambit
Based on Butterick 6039 from the 1950s
This was the first piece I did for this project – I really just wanted to have a “reference” image to use for my Dapper Day Senatorial Leia (and my Bespin Leia look too). So I used the 50s pattern I used for the shawl as inspiration to draw this up. I did have to go back and redraw it at the end of the project, because my original version was very small and never intended for anything more than a website post and a couple of social media uses! So this is technically version 2 of the same piece!
And of course it’s directly drawn to be MY Dapper Day Leia look, right down to the star hairpins in the buns.
