Who is Motee, you ask? She is Padme's assistant and handmaiden from Star Wars Episode
III: The Revenge of the Sith. She is present at the Imperial Senate meeting, and has an absolutely gorgeous outfit! I made two of these: One for the lovely Kristina, and another for the wonderful Joanna.

To start with, I supplied the bride with a breakdown. We wanted to alter Motee's dress slightly; we added a waistline seam, and changed the length of Kristina's dress. Originally, we were going to give Joanna the option to bustle up her dress, but we ended up changing our minds.
The outfits consisted of three pieces each: A blouse, a velvet dress, and a neckpiece made of chiffon strips, neatly beaded, with a flower on the back. These were, by far, one of my favorite pieces to make. The strips are mounted on a wire half collar, and then hand beaded and flowered.
Here are Kristina and Joanna backstage before the wedding! Kristina is on the left, Joanna is on the right.

The dresses in action! I loved the way they looked in the lighting, especially up on stage during the ceremony. You can see a bit of the constructed flower in the rightmost picture, right at the point all the strips connect.
Special thanks goes out to Aubrey Holte of Hustle and Bustle Cosplay and Melissa Meza of The Penguin Knight for help on this project!
