Star Wars Bound: Padmè's Lake Dress

 

Hello Friends!

In preparation for my meeting with Hayden Christensen, I knew I wanted to recreate one of Padmè's most iconic outfits the lake dress! Not only did I feel beautiful in the bound but I felt incredibly comfortable wearing the bound almost the full day of the convention. My lovely fiancè photographed this bound for me in a local park and I am beyond thrilled with the results!

What I wore
Dress: Amazon
Necklace: Amazon
Headband: Amazon
Shoes: Ardene
Scarf: Amazon

Almost all the items I got for this bound were collectively picked up from Amazon because with my lack of time from deciding to create this bound to the expo I had under a month to put everything together and I knew with Amazon's 2-day shipping I would be able to gather everything quickly well having it all be in my price range.

Scarf DIY

I wanted to have a scarf for with the dress to cover up my arms because of insecurities but also to replicate the idea of the chiffon overlay on Padmè's dress so I ended up ordering a Cotton gauze scarf from Amazon and dying it using Rit Dyes in the following colours

1/2 a bottle of Lemon Yellow

1 bottle of Petal Pink

1 bottle of Sunshine Orange

1/2 bottle of Purple

Final Results of the Dip Dye

I started by folding my scarf in half and adding an elastic to the point where I wanted the yellow to sit and dipped the scarf into my dye bath. From there I started to dye the pink section. After dying the pink section I added my orange dye into my dye bath and mixed it with the pink to give it a brighter look that was similar to the dress and ended up using that pink and orange mixture as my next colour for dying the scarf. The last part of the scarf was dyed purple after finishing the dying process I put my scarf in the wash and let it air dry. I was incredibly happy with the final results of the scarf!

I am so happy with this Padmè bound's results and can not wait to do more Star Wars bounds in the future!
