I thought since someone on the board is making the headsculpt and possibly the shoes too. I decided to check to see if their is an interest in this outfit.

I'm currently waiting on the silk to arrive for the cape, the fabric I have for her tuinic,belt and pants are a nice shade of red not an exact shade but that's going to be difficult in fabric.


once the silk is here im sending it to get tested for the print before im ready to make them.

let me know if your interested.
Star puff might be making the cape while I make the outfit to maximize time.

I think with a costume like this it's better to get interest now so we could make the clothes now that way when the heads are ready you can purchase the head and get her completed. A lot of customizers do it the other way areound and wonder what the hold up is. Clothing takes time even in 1:1 scale.

Snyderman is going to plan on making her sculpt because there is considerable interest in her sculpt.

So keep a watchful eye on snyderman's updates in the next couple of months.

It will take 2 months to complete a considerable quantity of bespin costumes. It would help me and star puff if we knew how many to make.

We are not offering a full figure so if you want to buy a body I recommend a Kumik since it's the right body frame for Leia, price is right, and since she wears flats the shoes dept. might not be a problem if Snyder pulls those off (he is thinking about it) at the moment so it's not a done deal, but hopeful if he does.

Re: 1/6 Princess Leia Bespin gown

I just got the silk in and sending a sample off to test the print once I get it back I will start on the proto.

I already cut out fabric for outfit.
so I think before thanksgiving I will have pics up to show her dressed without head until Snyder finishes sculpt.
 
Re: 1/6 Princess Leia Bespin gown

Totally understand.

Update I finally found a dye to color match with it should be very close to the film. I know there is speculation of color but it's like a cross between burgundy and maroon. in shade not orange or brown like some people may think.

Im still waiting to see if silk can take the print since the outer shell takes 5 prints and inner side same amt it might make cape cost about 100 bucks maybe more Star puff is sitting back until snyderman catches up. I will produce the prototype which will be photographed. since im not sure about cost yet for design for cape it may take as long as December to post pics and get you a rough cost for cape. and outfit.

I do apologize in advance if it cost more but I know the demand for perfection is high with freaks so be prepaired with wallets in hand. we will be using 100% silk for the cape, and high quality fabric for the outfit. Also, because I'm not sure how many runs we will do and once there gone there gone.

Re: 1/6 Princess Leia Bespin gown

guess what Star Wars fan's the silk survived the test. we are moving into the now. I just got dye and will be dyeing leia's costume fabric next week.

So project bespin cloud city leia is a go.

I'll need to talk to the details guy on cape and find out cost wise what it's going to cost you guys. I' will then build a proto type (still waitning on snyderman) so don't be surprised if proto is headless at the moment.
 
update.
in order to give sculptors time to make a bespin leia head i will push this back until mid may. I will construct and finish a prototype gown in feb which will be photograph and will be accepting payments when the head is available as well so you guys can buy them all.

when a head is finish i will post the link to thread to find your way to sculptor to purchase the head.

then you can purchase the costume from me.
 
id be a possibility on this, although id rather have her in her bespin escape outfit
 
the bespin escape outfit is her hoth gear without vest. Sideshow is making hoth leia. it would defeat purpose to do that
 
Hoth Leia from sideshow probably will be out late summer early fall. my Bespin will be ready before that. Then you will have all of her ESB Leia you'll ever need.
 
edit that she won't be released when the boys are so she might come out in time for winter. everyone draw up plans if your in an area that get's snow and show us your hoth sets
 
hey flossi if you see this do you think this should be moved to custom creations or stay here?
 
finally got it dyed it's very deep red like it should be hopefully not to dark but definitely better than the x mass red it was.
