Daily Style: R2/D2 Dress

 My local Lolita group were talking about meeting and going to this local Star Wars Exhibition in town. It only ended up that me and another girl could go but we both went with a space/stars theme.
I took the theme pretty seriously and made my own R2/D2 dress n.n 
I didn't want it to be tooo cosplay-ish, so i kept it simple. And I did my first bonnet!

Here's me and my twin! XD

I wore my robot bag too that i found in the sale at Accessorize when i was back in England.

 The exhibition was all fan made with props and costumes that were from the fan made film.
We watched the film for a little while but we had to leave to catch a train.  
Here is a progress picture of the dress, i didn't get a chance to take a better whole outfit picture on the day.  

Outfit:

Dress: Handmade from a second hand sheet. Matching bonnet and wrist cuffs. The ribbon was also from the 2nd hand shop and i sewed it on backwards as then it looked like some kind of alien language. 

Shirt: eBay. 

Wig: eBay. 

Shoes: Second hand Bodyline. 

Socks: eBay.

Aaaand manditory video of make up/hair/bonnet n.n
(these videos started not working for me, do they work for you?)


I am working on a Steampunk Lolita outfit next... :)
