I made the costume Kristen Bell wears in the movie Fanboys. So, this tutorial is about how I made that one. It is not screen accurate to the Slave Leia costume in Return of the Jedi, but it's something you can DIY, and it's easy to custom-fit and make adjustments for different top sizes.
It took me well over a year to get to the second part of making the Slave Leia costume, but I finally finished it and published the video to YouTube. If you've seen the movie Fanboys, I made the costume Kristen Bell wears in the movie.
I've made over a hundred Slave Leia costumes over the years that have ended up on TV, in a movie, lots of magazines and two documentaries. And now that I no longer make them for sale, I'm sharing my patterns and tutorials on how to make the iconic costume for yourself.
I first made Princess Leia's iconic Slave Leia costume in 2002 and have handmade probably hundreds over the years. I stopped making them when I closed my costume shop and the demand lowered as cheaper retail versions became easily available. Because I no longer make them, I thought it was time to share how I made the costume so that others can make it for themselves.
Get ready with me as I transform into the into the classic Princess Leia look from Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope. I start with the makeup and then do the Leia hair buns around the one-minute mark.
