I have built two versions of Princess Leia's ANH gown. This is the first version. It looked pretty good. The drape of the fabric was perfect. It had seams at the sleeves, however and the movie dress does not. I also hadn't quite figured out the collar yet. This dress zipped in the back with an invisible zipper. Also, the hood was lined and WAY too heavy.
When I did the second version of this costume, I didn't use a pattern. There are no seams at the sleeves, it has a keyhole neckline and the hood is a single layer with a rolled hem. I built the blouse and skirt as separate pieces and then sewed them together. This allows the blouse to stay "blousey".
I need to get better photos of this dress.
