I don't know whether I'll be able to walk in the SWW parade this year, but it would be nice to have the option of that, or participating in other (earlier) events, since none of my other costumes fit anymore! Yes; the one she goes to Mustafar in Yes; but not the Mustafar one, it's overdone (please make suggestions in the discussion thread!) No; something about a pregnant Padme costume just ain't right! Just don't do the nightgown with the pearls, PLEASE!

It must have been a design challenge to make an "action" costume for a pregnant woman, but it doesn't really say "Star Wars" to me, and I find it unflattering and unattractive. That's just me, and relates to the costume designed for the movie, so if you make it I'll still admire your attention to detail and quality. Also, it's such a downer costume. Padme's having a really bad day when she wears that. I'm afraid of all the people you'd have to pose for, "Now cry and act like Anakin is choking you..." or "Like in a heap like you just got thrown by Anakin..." So if a pregnant costume is to be made I'd definitely vote more for the dark number she wore at the beginning of RotS when Anakin returned to Coruscant.

Well I am sure you will look great in whatever you decided to make. No matter what you choose chances are, since you made it, it will be awsome.

It IS kind of a downer costume. Campbell, I actually love the one she was wearing at the beginning of ROTS. The dress under the cape is linen (not hot) and would be relatively simple. The cape might not be too hard, except for trying to match that animal print velvet... but the accessories and hairstyle...! That's what I'm not sure I want to spend a lot of time on. The dress is worn alone later in the movie (in her apartment), but it's not nearly as exciting as the cape.

The Mustafar is certainly recognizable but as already agreed upon just not a happy time (Though you could re-enact the force choke w/Disney Studio's Anakin as C suggested). Also the nightgown with pearls is overdone to me. My first choice would be aqua georgette dress (padawan's guide) that she's wearing when Anakin leaves for Mustafar. Though still not from the happiest of moments it is pretty with the lace work and light airy and cool plus the hair is loose with just the headband. And still a more recgonizable Padme costume. Second Choice would be the blue furry fleece looking dressing gown (with lavender nightgown underneath) from when Obi Wan Visits prior to Mustafar. Third would be the green velvet robe (with the purple sash) would be nice but of course hot for summer. Can Ya tell I checked em all out before responding?!

Posts: 925 Sat, Apr 26, 2008 4:42 PM	Russ, your first two choices are two of my favorites! And ones I have thought about making for myself, not even for costume events but just to have something pretty and luxurious. Doesn't look like I'll be making a pregnant costume at all, though. I keep wishing, but our house remodeling is WAY behind schedule, I'm in the third trimester and haven't even started thinking about Baby's room, so I think to save my sanity I'm just going to have to skip it.

You know, that's what I keep telling myself. The only reason I would have done it now is because I could actually wear it /pregnant/. I don't really get the folks who wear fake "bumps" in order to do the pregnant costumes, because I wasn't ever planning to wear it NOT pregnant. It would have been a novelty and fun to show off at SWW, but I'm too stressed with too little time at this point.

I think we'll be very happy with the one your expecting. I look forward to seeing that beautiful one more than any other.

I was hoping to whip up a few little outfits for him before his arrival, but with all the stuff going on around here, I haven't even finished the only one I started weeks ago. Much less make anything for myself! So, that's the end of the pregnant Padme costume for sure.
