"Natalie Portman had numerous costume changes in Revenge of the Sith, but she loves what they called the deep blue 'end dress,' which she wore in her coffin in the funeral scene.

'I think Trisha [Biggar] wanted an ocean sense. Someone said to me it was very ‘Ophelia.’ With the flowers and the hair, it does look like I’m drowning'."

a 2005 article by Patt Diroll about the Star Wars prequels' costume exhibition at the fashion institute of Design and Merchandising museum in Los Angeles for the release of the book Dressing a Galaxy: The Costumes of Star Wars.

Star Wars Appreciation Week 2023: Costumes

PadMay2023: Free Space

The Costumes of Padmé Amidala

Water Gown: Revenge of the Sith

For Padmé's funeral, designer Trisha Biggar found inspiration in the waters of Naboo, recalling the lake district where Padmé and Anakin fell in love. Both the cloak and the thin underdress are done in blue-green hues, invoking the colors seen at the beautiful Naboo villa. The hand-painted, devoré velvet cloak has rows of sequins sown on to imitate the look of flowing water. The flowers in Padmé's hair were the idea of artist Ian McCaig (who created the concept art pieces seen above) and were meant to represent tears.

The water gown also draws a purposeful and striking parallel to Shakespeare's Ophelia, who is depicted similarly in paintings throughout history. Obi-Wan was led to believe that Padmé, like Ophelia, had simply lost the will to live. (If you're interested in the parallel with Ophelia, click source 4 below for a comparison of paintings, and source 2 for an analysis.)

708 - Turning Points

(Gross ^)

What a great mid-season finale. Turning points on every level. The opening of Claire rescuing Jamie is a great adaptation of the book scene. I think Claire was just about scared to death. And after that, well, I always enjoy their banter.

Aren't Denzel and Rachel the sweetest?

Jamie keeps his finger and we still get their lovely conversation. It's a very agreeable compromise as I'd much rather budget be spent elsewhere than on making Jamie have four fingers for the remaining season and a half.

Roger and Brianna's storyline is just right. I really like them in the future. Brianna is truly "Louis's giraffe" in the past. I cannot wait to see if they include anything from "A Leaf in the Wind of All Hallows'" or a certain woman from season one in Roger and Buck's adventures to come. (Trying really hard to say this without spoilers here.)

Rachel and Ian seem to be progressing rather fast, but they are adorable so okay. And we finally get the little hand hold that I've been waiting for all season. <3

Welcome Benedict Arnold. Too bad you're so likable.

Another brutal and excellent battle. Jamie leading the charge, interesting cinematography, and point-of-view. You feel as if you are there. Not only that, but using the battle to highlight what General Fraser and William mean to Jamie elevates what could have been a simple action sequence. And finally, we get to see exactly why Rachel is worried about Ian as husband to a Quaker. Kudos. Roses. It is just wonderful.

The scenes around General Fraser's death are also lovely.

Mr. Bug, so creepy.

Oh goodness, the ending! The music, the emotion. It brought tears to my eyes. I want to dish out compliments but I am honestly just basking in it. Scotland!

And finally, one little shout out to the costume designer, Trisha Biggar. The costumes have such rich and varied textures this season. They are detailed and layered. I couldn't help but notice them.

I am honestly a little upset that we won't see the second half of the season until 2024. Can you really call such a long hiatus the same season? Whatever. I'm looking forward to it, and until then I have Men in Kilts to hold me over (yes, I know that was their diabolical plan).

Until then, I hope the back half of 2023 brings you lots of joy.

Love,

LadyWynneOutlander 🧡

The costumes we have for Claire at the Ridge when she’s more relaxed… it’s a slightly modern twist on what women were wearing at the time, which I always feel is so important… that Claire would always find a way of retaining some of that comfort, some of that ease, some of the practicality from the future, while also being able to kind of blend in.

But when they go to these big sort of events or balls, you know, girl likes a bit of glamour in her life too, like anyone. Trisha made the most stunning gown for me. It’s this beautiful sort of blue silk with navy velvet. It’s really gorgeous. They’re amazing, how they make everything like this from scratch. And the dressing gown is fabulous… she just came up with the really beautiful pieces. I had a new green coat that I really, really wanted for real life.

Trisha and her team worked round the clock to accommodate my ever-changing figure. Obviously the costumes we wear are so heavy and, at a certain point, you can’t really wear them anymore in certain ways. So we came up with things like skirts not tying on the waist anymore, but putting them on sort of harnesses so that the weight is distributed, and making waistcoats that have lovely lacing in the back, so they can expand literally from day to day. They were incredible. — Caitríona Balfe.

Remember… Trisha Biggar does an incredible job and I, for one, am incredibly grateful to her, especially this season. — Caitríona Balfe

Meeting Alex Kingston in Moll Flanders cosplay at FanX 2023

Just over a year ago, a little birdy (@now-theres-a-spoiler-for-you) informed me that to the best of her knowledge, Alex Kingston had never seen a Moll Flanders cosplayer. And as an avid appreciator of the Miniseries, I took it upon myself to become the first.

The Miniseries, "The Fortunes and Misfortunes of Moll Flanders" (1996) of which Alex Kingston starred in alongside Daniel Craig, was Alex's major breakout role which led to her role on ER and her subsequent claim to fame. So considering the prevolence, I had to make it special.

I put in a LOT of work researching, sourcing fabric, internet deep-diving, and reading before I ever got started on the dress. The actual hard work of sewing the dress took a few months to make once the initial homework was done. Undergarments? Structuring? Patterns? All of these took a lot of guesswork on my part.

The original was created by costume designer, Trisha Biggar (Which if you are in the costuming community you will know her as the designer of Padme Amidala's wardrobe and the designer for Outlander) for the 1996 miniseries. The dress was constructed of fabric Trisha Thrifted in the 1960s in Sweden, most of which I am fairly certain is Indian Fabric specifically used for Banarasi Sarees. The dress is inspired by a common silhouette from the 1670s London England, based on common evening gowns worn at the time. Considering the substantial trade happening between India and England at that time, it makes sense that a dress is fine as this would’ve been historically constructed with Banarasi silk.

The original evening gown:

Sadly, I cannot afford to construct a dress entirely out of silk in this American economy, so sourced much of my fabric overseas and while I was in Egypt and Israel this summer. The rest of it was either Thrifted or appliquéd by hand by me. All of the notions and ribbons were Thrifted. I believe in doing everything possible to keep cosplay sustainable. There is a video on my TikTok which goes into detail on my construction process.

But once the dress was done, I was ecstatic, and It was time to debut it at a convention. The morning of Thursday FanX SLC, I got some pictures (in my River wig to preserve my curled hair) and this is how they turned out...

Then it was time to show The Queenston herself. I had been a little bit stressed that she wouldn't recognise the dress or wouldn't be very interested, but I held out hope.

Spoiler Alert; I had NOTHING to worry about.

Before I got to Alex, I got an autograph from Karen Gillan, who's table was next to Alex's. While in line, I was staring in awe at Alex, as she was just under twenty feet away. In between people, Alex glanced up to the crowd, then did a double take, and leaned over her table to see me through the crowd. Her mouth dropped open, she pointed straight at me, and she got all excited, and mouthed “You! Moll Flanders! Wow!” Time slowed down and I froze until I gave her a big smile (and I think a thumbs up?) and I was so starstruck that I was convinced I was hallucinating until she added “you look amazing!” still smiling, before going back to the next person.

When I got to her table, she greeted me as Moll,and she said she'd "Never ever, ever seen a Moll cosplayer!" and I got to tell her that I made the dress. Alex absolutely loved my Moll Flanders cosplay. She told me it was the first one she’d ever seen. She was so sweet. I wasn’t anxious at all. I was so excited to finally meet her but I didn’t cry. I was actually so relaxed, which came as a surprise, as I have a track record of being emotionally overwhelmed and crying in front of Celebrities.

She was so nice and was so impressed with the dress. We got a Photo together and she ended up grabbing the shackles (is it even Alex Kingston without a cheeky touch?)

Then she signed my Making of Moll Flanders book and she flipped through it “oh this really takes me back. This was my favorite dress. The red velvet one. It was quite warm. I loved the big hat!”

For reference this is the dress she was talking about:
