I love petticoats and hoop skirts and the Star Wars opening crawl was the perfect shape for a vintage party dress. With the help of an amazing graphic designer, Mrs. Jennifer Fox of Camden, TN and Spoonflower, who custom printed the fabric, this dress became a reality. Lots of fabric draping and measuring was involved to get the correct placement.The fabric looked like this when it arrived:

First worn to Dragon*Con 2011 with a tiny star destroyer fascinator and a purse that says “A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away….”:

A big thanks to everyone who “got it”. It took people a few moments to recognize it at Dragon*Con but I was met with many high fives and smiles!More updates to come…
