princess leia

Below you’ll find my blog posts about my Princess Leia (Star Wars) ANH costumes. I have made four versions of this costume - a quick version in 2002, a version in 2004, my very long lived version from 2006, and my current version from 2018.

My parents and Ash parents as hobbits, Gandalf, and an elf. Leia in the control room XD (the saturday night…

    Integra photoshoot pics!

    I took some new pics of Integra yesterday. Previously the only good pics I had were taken at MTAC – but at MTAC I had forgotten pieces (the gloves, the middle part of the belts, etc), so I wanted some more pics. Integra is off to work! A closeup. My lower belt was out of place in most of the…

    Leia Progress

    I haven’t updated in a while! Well I’m not making Meg for Halloween. I opted for ANH Leia instead. I’ve already made the dress twice. I didn’t like the first one, so I got a different fabric and a different pattern and tried again. I’m still not 100% satisfied but it’ll have to do, as I don’t have the extra…

    2005 Convention Schedule

    For Halloween this year- Meg from Hercules. Debating on getting a wig and styling it, or just slumming it and doing my own hair. I’m leaning towards my own hair, just to save money and since it’s just a halloween costume, anyway. MidSouthCon- Classic Leia for MidSouthCon next year. I want to make an actual *decent* looking one (as opposed…

    Star Wars Midnight Show

    Got a zipper yesterday. Woohoo! I guess I’m dressing up for the Star Wars opening. But *only* if we go to the midnight showing the night before at Muvico. ‘Cause my costume is going to be the same one Cath wore as Leia two years ago – my mom’s old Bride of Frankenstein costume. It’s not exactly accurate. Oh well.…

We went and ate breakfast at this place in Millington, and all I had was toast, since the thought of any other breakfast food made me feel ill. Mom and I worked on my Misato jacket some … and then we went to the play. They did great. It was…
