Wow. That is some of the best lace I have seen for this in a long time. _________________

I realized I never got around to updating this after approval and I'm thrilled to finally share my patterns for Padme's Fireside Corset Gown!
Photos by Dan Tooine Studios
This full write up is on my blog http://www.jeneyre.com/2020/05/padmes-fireside-corset-gown-patterns.html
More pictures are here: https://jeneyrecosplay.smugmug.com/Star-Wars/Padme-Fireside-Corset-Gown/Padme-Fireside-Corset-Gown-Submission
I'm so proud of this one, as I won the Needlework category in the Celebration Chicago Costume Contest wearing it. One of the judges had even seen the costume in person in the archives! There were so many absolutely BREATHTAKING costumes! My husband got a bunch of photos here: https://jeneyrecosplay.smugmug.com/Conventions/Celebration-2019/SWCC-Costume-Contest
https://www.starwars.com/news/most-impressive-fans-star-wars-celebration-chicago-cosplay
Here's the PDF pattern for the gloves, corset, neckpiece, and capelet: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1HhhoXJmKeopK_OxW2RMYaggAMq4hSls9
And here's the PDF pattern for the skirt: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1l-0oagwGE4JyxyeCW8H75DshbdpFTX1F
I spent almost 120 hours working on this costume, with over half of that time spent beading.
The corset was modified from a late 1800s corset pattern I custom drafted for myself a couple years ago. I moved the seam locations and adjusted the top and bottom, and changed it from busk front/back lacing to center front zip.
I added a train balayeuse underneath to support the skirt and protect the bottom from dragging on the floor. There's also a petticoat between the skirt and the petticoat that the train balayeuse is part of.
I made the glove pattern from a tight-fitting sleeve pattern. The choker pattern was modified from the back (back) of the neck piece of my Vice Admiral Holdo pattern.
I made the "pacman" shaped beads on the choker medallion by cutting scrap pieces of ABS plastic left over from my Stormtrooper. I painted them with gloss black paint.
If you'd like more guidance on how this came together, please check out my photo build album: https://jeneyrecosplay.smugmug.com/Star-Wars/Padme-Fireside-Corset-Gown/Padme-progress-photos

Thanks so much for the update! It's great having these resources for others to use and maybe finding the costume a little less daunting. _________________
