So I make pants now...

Not that it was hard...I've just never done it before.

Here are some in progress pics of BATTLE PADME's pants...Which btw are short pants to save on bulk with the boots...and to save fabric as well since I have a finite amount of velvet.

The pattern I used for the pants...and shortened. Oh look I can use this for the jacket too...and lengthen. *sigh*

Burgundy. Velvet. Pants. I had to figure out how to sew the ribbon trim on the outer seams. I managed. Looks good, too.

Closeup of the trim. It's not canon but it's damn close. Close enough to get me into Rebel Legion (I hope!)

Das pants so far. Still in progress.

Please for the love of GOD someone remind me to buy some Anti Monkey Butt so I don't get Swamp Ass from WEARING VELVET PANTS AT DRAGON*CON! Thanks. XOXO

More pics to come as I work on this AWESOME costume.
