Padme Amidala. Princess, Ambassador and Woman in love

With the upcoming Star Wars premier right around the corner, I found it fitting to dedicate a post to my love for this far, far away galaxy. Every weekend a group of friends and I all get together and watch in order, one of the films in the series. This past week we were privileged to watch Episode II Attack of the Clones, and my heart just burst. While this episode does have epic battle scenes involving the clones, it is also the episode in which Anakin and Padme fall in love. And so many  of Padme's costumes are so elegant and girly and the perfect embodiment of a woman in love.
Trisha Biggar was the costume designer and I can'y imagine carrying the weight of designing the wardrobe for an entire galaxy. She only worked on the Episodes I, II, and III in the series, but her work truly is incredible. I really love the way in which she layers fabrics and materials. Each of the three gowns represented in the pictures have such a dreamy and flowing silhouette while still having a lot of fulness. I think my favorite of Padme's gowns would have to be her wedding dress. The scene was less than a minute, but there is so much detail in the lace, her bodice and also her veil. I love that many of Padme's gowns have trains to them. While it isn't practical for when she is fighting in battle, I love the ability her clothing has to show her softer and feminine side. As a Princess and also an Ambassador her wardrobe is extensive, but I love seeing Padme in her natural element when she is able to set aside the responsibilities and burdens that she bears.
