Padme’s Celebration gown

A comparison between the cape from the movie and my cape as I begin to add layers of petals

Progress on soldering together the head-piece

Working on the structure for the hair piece. Made with wire sandwiched between pieces of worbla. The wire then had a piece of foam glued to it and then wrapped in fabric. The hair was then wrapped over each form and hot glued in place.
