Halloween 2019 - Admiral Holdo

Admiral Holdo - Star Wars, The Last Jedi.

P and I have been working on her costume for a couple of weeks. We purchased a pattern for the Admiral Holdo dress from someone on etsy. It was laughably large so we had to make quite a few adjustments.

We ended up using the Made by Rae Flashback Skinny Tee as a base. The back shape, sleeves, and arm holes are from the skinny tee pattern. We used the front shaping plan from the Holdo pattern but sized it to better fit miss P.

We made the cape three different times, finally ditching the pattern and making up our own shape that worked better.

We purchased the wig and arm pieces online. P made the head piece from some wire we had in the basement. We stitched it to the base of the wig to keep it in place.

We are thrilled with the overall look.

Miss P is interested in theater and has learned a lot about costume design the last couple of years.

Her brother suggested this location on U of M North Campus for our photo shoot and it did not disappoint.
