Prego Padme and Anakin Skywalker Costumes

Hallwoeen is my favorite!! You're never too old to dress up! (As long as you have a reason. I promise I don't sit around my house in costume. We had a party to go to this year.)

This year I had to come up with a pregnant couples costume. I had decided to do a Star Wars nursery for our little "Jedi" and naturally finding something Star Wars was the first thing to come to mind...

I created the tunic for the hubby from a pattern, I made faux boot thingies, and a faux leather overlay to finish the dark jedi look for Anakin. For the Padme dress I ended up doing it all freestyle. I took a shirt I already had for a starter point and just extended it longer to create a dress. I made the detached sleeves and rigged up the chest straps. A few beads found a Joanne's helped tie in the little details. (Yes, I bought those boots solely for this costume.) Out little Wicket has a custom crocheted hood by yours truly... Can't forget the fur baby!
The hubby took home best costume at the party! :-D 
It was a lot of work... I think it might have to start going a little more pre-made...
