Amazing Padme! Also one of my dream cosplays.

I can't remember if I've already mentioned this, but there's a trick in ballet to keep your ribbons secure for a while: Hair spray... Do all the normal knots then coat it is hairspray, it makes it a little stiff, but basically acts as flexable-light-glue and keeps all the knots etc in place and it should just break up when you want to take them off. However, it would be worth just checking how it looks when you spray the ribbons before-hand it can darken them in patches if you are not spraying evenly. If it means the ribbons stay in place rather than cutting of blood supply to your fingies!

Absolutely STUNNING! In love with this cosplay! <3

There is a two way mirror for cameras. I know Cherry Wallis has something like what you’re talking about.
Angela K
It looks sooo good Rachel. You can see all the hard work you put into the details.
Jen

Incredible transformation!
Rachel Irvin
Always love to see the makeup transformations! And the dress is gorgeous!
Shelby Ambrose
I believe they make two-way mirror "film" where you can get a piece of normal glass, put the film on it, and then have a two-way mirror. Perhaps something like that would work for filming?

Beautiful! Makes sense for Padme to have impractical clothes, she's a queen, she has staff to help her in! Is this me saying Nick is your Sabe? 🤔😂
LotteeBee
I made this same costume last year but really struggle with the makeup. So this was very helpfull! Thank you so much for sharing
Emily Kingsley
Honestly 4 months is pretty good
Stevie Stanko
I love that we're already talking about Halloween! 🎃
Caitlin Land
I feel like the fact that you feel more confident about it really shows and makes it look even better! good job 💖
Edith
I’m always in absolute awe of your transformations! Good luck with the legion!! ♥️
Madi VanDoren

Mikaella Karahadian
It’s so beautiful 😍

Yesssss! But oh ye ribbons! Hope you can find a practical solution to that

Mary Ella
I can't wait to hear what the legion says!!!!
Heather Jones
Wowee, thanks for taking us along with you 😍😍 Can't wait to see more padmé!
Amy
This looks so cute!!!! I kinda wanna make a version with cream/ivory fabric and just wear it in the wild lol like my low-key Star wars sundress for summer.
Bri
omg so proud <3 it looks amazing
Carol B
She turned out gorgeous! Attaching the ribbons to the sleeves will definitely make your life easier. I hope you come to Fan Expo Boston this year!
andrea levitan
Spectacular! And Me’Lady, would you kindly do your pale sisters a solid and reveal the cool toned contour used?
Melanie Tyrrell
It looks incredible!

I’ve been hoping you would make a video for this since I’ve been seeing the cosplay on Instagram so much! I love it! Very cool!
Lulu A La Mode
Amazing
Rena Hafeez
Looks better than the first draft.
Emily Kelly-Gillingham
I have definitely been sitting here hoping you were going to recreate the meme since you said you were making this costume.
Madeline Schill
I have been WAITING for this!! Incredible incredible job!!! SO beautiful!!
Aunt Heidi
Hurray for Nick!
Dixie Crowe
Ok that was awesome and worth all the work you put in. Honestly some of the rebel legion people don't look like the characters very much even with their makeup application and wigs. So I am sure you will be approved for the quality of the outfit as well as the incredible doppelgänger makeup!
Katherine Thoreson
This looks amazing, Rachel! Your hard work definitely paid off. I would be surprised if they didn't accept your costume. Also, that's so cool that you're collabing with Alyson! I can't wait to see that magical duo in action.
Michelle Burnham
It’s soooo gorgeous!!! Well done!!!👏👏👏
MaryK171
It looks sooooo good!!
Kae
Every time you do these makeup transformations I say "I don't understand how she did that" even though I just watched you do it 😅
BrainGuy63
Wow. There's a couple of places there in the getting-dressed montage where you hit that Natalie Portman smile and daaamn, good job on the makeup and all, I was sold. Go get 'em!
Andrea Roark
This was awesome! I hope you get approved! Have a nice weekend ❤️
Meg W.
YAY!!!!!! I was hoping there would be a video of this
Maggie Stewart
I would be an absolute menace with those ribbons in public. I'd be whacking people left and right 😂
Carly Black
I love your transformations! It's always uncanny how you can make your face look like other people's faces. Very cool! Great job, and good luck with The Rebel Legion!

Clu Bear
Its crazy! He is a Stormtrooper and had to special order parts, make modifications to fit him (cause he is a little short for a stormtrooper… tee hee.. and yes he has heard the joke a million times)… so much work! You got this! Bravo on learning from your first convention debut of this beauty! 🥰
