Princess Leia Organa - Star Wars - A New Hope
Yay! Star Wars!
Princess Leia Organa is characterized as a driven, dedicated woman with a forceful personality. Leia's well-known hairdo in A New Hope has been affectionately dubbed the "cinnamon buns", by many science fiction fans.
I do love Star Wars. I've done some other characters like: Lady Maul, Slave Leia, Jedi. I've made an Ewok, and an R2-D2. ect. check them out . :)
I wanted to make this because of the iconic hair. I used little hair extension bun pieces, cause my real hair is pretty short. The whole outfit is just a simple white dress, with belt, and hood. I made it all myself. The belt is vinyl fabric with with some other plastic-y fabric glued on top [and the little half-spheres are painted buttons].
I was surprised at comfortable this costume was. Aside from the constant fear of getting it dirty, it was nice breezy thing to wear at a summer convention.
Costume consists of: hair pieces, white dress, belt, boots. I'm proud to say that I made this whole thing from scratch. The dress was amazingly simple since it didn't require any fitting.
Pictures were taken at Fanime2014. and a private shoot. Including some pix of my Star Wars enthusiast friends; Skye and Nam.
