Endor Dress

[nnaydolem (Melody)]

I have an Endor Dress I made YEARS ago for Celebration III. However i need to remake it. the color is off and it's not cannon...it was just for fun and my first time making ANYTHING. aka first time on a sewing machine.

Here it is...and not to mention i think the color is a bit off.





So i think it needs to be a tad bit lighter. THAT being said...i am going to try another one soon.

I happened to be looking at sandals and thought these would be perfect if i took off the tassel. Just wanted to get your opinions. Also any feed back if the dress can be salvaged.

Popping in with some thoughts as a tailor, though not yet a Legion member.

I think the dress construction could be fixed, but the material isn't right? The dress in the film looks like a very thin, fine-grain suede, and your dress looks like it has kind of a velvety finish, more like velveteen or microsuede?

It's a pretty simple dress, though, so probably not too much trouble to remake. Good luck! Can't wait to see the revamped version.

it is a microsuede...again it was just a hey let's try this. i will look into getting some material...AFTER I get my ANH Leia completed.

At these with this one, i have the hair part down

Thanks for the feedback.

I have some medical needs that require a shoe insole, so I am trying to find a sandal of sorts i can put the insoles in. Hence why i like the gladiator style. Easy with boots of course. any suggestions would be GREAT!

I will take a look at the nearby leather stores & FOR sure check out your WIP progress....it looks like a you-know-what.

and maybe look at picking up a bolt of muslin tonight as well. LOL

Hopefully it looks like the Ewok Village dress. And yours will, too, when you get there. Just have patience.

I just found these...do you think they would work with the dress...they a removable footbed so i can put in in my own insoles. best i could find that sorta matched..https://www.google.com/shopping/product/105548009588357006?q=sandals+removable+footbed&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwi4lMzZk7_NAhUK7CYKHf8DBBQQwUAIMigH

Don't worry about it. And it was a lot of work. But worth it.

Hmm, my concern is the color; it's a quite dark brown and they should closely match the dress.

OK!

I found these...i matched them with your dress Lora.

they ARE leather. I checked. I will have to get them modified, but they are a good start for my insole issues. hahaha

if i can make these friendly for my feet issues...i think these would be better

I think I've seen something like the second pair used before. I think the things to remember with this sandal is: natural color leather (undyed), criss crossing straps over the foot (we say at least one, maximum three for now), low to no heel. That's the basics of the sandal. The original also had a heel cap. It should be possible for you to find a sandal that fit your needs since it's summer. Good luck.
