An old project resurfaced with the coming of the newest movie this December. Seven years ago, I started a Visas Marr build, under the forum name "shape_in_the_shadows". Life got away from me. I got married, had two kids, and just now am getting back into a place where I could handle committing, not just to a costume build, but to joining the 501st. Visas is my favorite character, though I may branch out later into Revan, or build a TIE pilot costume for my husband.
So where am I at right now?
I have my costume-that-was-never-finished, which I plan to use as a mock up. I would finish it, but the thought of continuing to hand-paint those pinwheels... I'm not even sure that's accepted anymore. However, it fits perfectly and I love the way the it came out otherwise.
Gloves-on order (from China, so waiting a while for those).

Veil- Well, I have a great veil that I'm super happy with, but I used glitter gold paint on it. So I need to make a new one, with the new approved paint, which will be a huge improvement over what used to be approved. (How many of you ladies were here seven years ago? I remember Pam.) And I am having the hardest time finding fabric of the right color! I found some at HobbyLobby, but I'll never be able to see through it. Any suggestions??
Underdress-I would like to avoid making a whole new one as the one I have is a great color and drape, but if I need a new veil, I may need a new underdress too. Any suggestions, advice or most-important-things-to-remember?
Below I attached an old photo. Forgive the discoloration. The veil/underdress are really much more like the second attached photo.
