Legion CRL Entry for Arica's Blue Dress

 

 

 

 

Costume components:

 

 

1. Hair: The hair or wig may be black or strawberry blonde in color. If black, the hair is shoulder length and wavy. If strawberry blonde, the hair reaches to mid back and may be straight or wavy.

 

 

 

 

 

2. Headband: A narrow silver headband encircles the forehead. The headband includes an ornamental embellishment at each temple.

 

 

 

 

 

3. Scarf: The long rectangular scarf is made of material that is the same blue color as the rest of the costume. The fabric may be opaque or slightly sheer. A black or silver elastic band around each bicep holds the scarf against the upper arms. One or two narrow silver bracelets hold the scarf at each wrist.

 

 

 

 

 

4: Dress: The sleeveless bodysuit is made from black fishnet material. A privacy lining may be sewn under the fishnet as long as the nude effect is preserved. A blue fabric appliqué covers the chest. The appliqué should resemble a pair of wings, with five "feathers" curving downward on each side. A pair of triangular designs is topstitched on the top edge of each wing. The center of the appliqué is topstitched with circles and a vertical center line. The skirt is made of the same blue material as the appliqué wings. It consists of a front and a back panel, and is open at the sides. The panels extend below the knees. The front and back panels are connected to each other by a strip of the same blue material, which is approximately 2 to 3 cm wide. Decorative strips of fabric similar to belt loops are spaced along the top edge of the skirt.

 

 

 

 

 

5. Stockings: The black stockings reach from the ankles to mid thigh.

 

 

 

 

 

Costume Accessories:

 

 

6. Garters: A black garter band may be worn around the top of each stocking. Oval shaped designs made of a silver material are evenly spaced around the garter bands.

 

 

 

 

 

 

7. Footwear: Arica is barefoot while wearing this dress. When shoes are needed for the costumer's comfort and safety, footwear similar to the styles seen in Jabba's palace may be worn. Acceptable footwear includes the sandals seen with the Arica jumpsuit, black Slave Leia style boots, or sandals similar to those worn by Oola.
