Character/Costume Description
Talia was the queen of Onderon
during the first Jedi Purge of 3954
BBY and ruled through the events of
Knights of the Old Republic II.
To date, she only has two official
references, the game and the
concept art:

Queen%20Talia
This costume was my India project
while I was living abroad there for
two years. While playing the game,
I realized that Talia's clothing looked
very much like the Salwar Kameez
that I wore every day. I combined
elements of both references as well
as influences from clothing I saw
around me in India.
The shoes and shawl I found in the
local bazaar. The pants were altered
from a pair that I wore as a normal
outfit and the shirt was patterned off
of one of my everyday kurtas. I
bought all the fabric locally as well,
the hat covering being part of a
newlywed shawl. The belt is one of
my dupata that I wore regularly as
well.
The cuffs and all around neckline
and edges of the tunic have been
hand embroidered with a chain-
stitch pattern based on a
combination of both references. All
told, I probably spent over 400
hours embroidering this costume as
I traveled all over Asia.
Resubmitting for formal approval
under the new charter amendment.
