Starry Mantle – Unused Concept

Originally posted December 10 2018.

I started calling this one “Starry Mantle” which is a LOTR thing but after I did the sparkles on the cape it’s all I could think of. Another one I imagine as pre-TPM Padme.
Had a really hard time with this one. The look of the dress just isn’t Padme; it’s a little prim princessy/Ren Fair. Played around with the colours a LOT and finally settled on this. I think one of the things that’s really throwing it off is the lace edging, but that was on the concept art so I kept it.
I imagine a slubby silk fabric for the dress, ombre dyed, with eyelet lace edging and pale blue chiffon sleeves. Embroidered ribbon belt and sparkly velvet cape with.
