How to create a Leia slave costume

Creating a Princess Leia slave costume can be so much simple as you make it to be, since the nature of the character basically emulates simplicity and beauty. There are 2 costumes and outfits that Princess Leia is known for, and each type of costume has specific advantages. You can either select the Princess Leia white robe or the Princess Leia slave costume.

In coming up with the Princess Leia white costume, you will only need a simple white dress, and if at all possible, select a white dress with hood. This white dress can be a very simple dress and can be made from any type of material. Select a metallic silver belt and drape it across your waistline to complete your costume. For your shoes, the most ideal choice is white boots. As long as you display an entirely stark white effect, then you have perfectly disguised yourself as Princess Leia.

The white robe's costume hairstyle incorporates the famous braided buns on each side of the head. If you happen to have hair that is long enough to be styled in such a way, then you can form a high ponytail on both sides of the head and braid each of the ponytails. Curl the braided hairs in a circle slowly and secure the buns with dark bobby pins or hairclips. However, if you have shorter hair, then the best alternative for you is to buy a Princess Leia hairpiece or a Princess Leia Wig.

But if you would want to dress up as Princess Leia while wearing a Leia slave costume, then you will need to buy or make a bikini swimsuit which has a dark color. For you to create a replica of the metal pieces that are evident in the Leia slave costume, you must purchase a choker or an armband which are in metallic colors. You can also buy accessories that have a burnished gold color as this creates a certain shade that is prevalent among how slaves dress. A heavy gold-colored necklace can significantly add more effect to the Leia slave costume armor and can make your outfit more attractive and realistic as well. You can also purchase a ready-to-wear Leia slave costume at leading specialty and costume stores.

For the hairstyle that is usually associated with the Leia slave costume, a very high ponytail that is braided is the most ideal style. A very fun and creative idea in tying the whole costume together is to tie some strips of gold ribbon through the ponytail and braids and allow it to trail along the length of the hair.
