Breha Organa

PadmeSkywalker (Carrie Christian) · Posted: Tue Apr 10, 2012 1:05 pm Post subject: Breha Organa

I am planning on making Breha Organa's gown for CVI and wanted to get some opinions on some fabric I found that could work for the brocade-style outer dress. I am hoping to order the fabric soon, and I have had trouble deciding which one is the closest match.

Here is her dress:

And here are the fabrics I found:

Fabric 1:

Fabric 2:

Fabric 3:

Fabric 4:

I am leaning toward the first one, but the third one is close in terms of the pattern. Any opinions/input is greatly appreciated Amadalia

The first one is really a close match. The third one looks pretty close as well. All the selections are great though. Where did you find your fabric choices?

wonderful fabrics! I've been looking a bit at this costume, but finding the right fabric scared me off - where did you find this? Smile

Absolutely the first one. That is some gorgeous fabric, and it looks the closest if you ask me.

Defo number 1- the pattern looks spot on.

First one for sure! The overall shape of the motifs from a distance is VERY close!

It's such a beautiful costume.

Thanks everyone Amadalia

I thought that the first one was the best match, but was having trouble deciding for sure. I will update this as I make progress Smile

I must be blind because I absolutely cannot find the fabric in there - lots of other nice things though Wink

Oh, if I can make it to CVI, I'd LOVE to have you pose in this gown with the Princess Leia reborn I'm going to be making (a reborn is a doll that is painted and rooted so it looks like a real baby).

I love fabric 1!

Ladyghost4459 (Denise Cowles) · Posted: Fri Apr 13, 2012 5:22 pm Post subject:

What kind of fabric does everyone think the solid blue of the under skirt and sleeves are made of? It seems to be a bit different than the brocade-like material of the tunic and upper skirt.

Definitely the first one. The blue underskirt looks like a blue shot through with gold fibers in terms of color. It's got that iridescent quality to it.
