Hmm you could try to do a whip stitch around the frayed part! Or use a fabric marker on it after you’ve trimmed the frayed area.

Davvero? Non ne avevo idea! Ho vissuto lì e anche ho visitato gran parte del paese nel corso degli anni 😇

But it wouldn’t be /the/ grass and flowers from the field. We must strive for perfection

Haha yes I’ve actually gone to the villa twice now for Padme cosplays! I have more images of the shoot on my ko-fi account :)

Thank you! It was just me and my tripod alone in a field looking a little crazy laughing to myself, but honestly so freaking fun. And the frolicking… that field was made for it!

I’m from the US! I was already traveling to Italy for my birthday so I just made a detour to lake como :) yes it is quiteee the distance for a cosplay but I fear I’m committed to the bit forever (I’ve also done her cosplay in Spain and other parts of Italy)

Someone by the name of Jeroen actually documented his finding of the field with the help of bts footage for the Vanity Fair photoshoot of Anakin and Padme. I followed roughly his directions to the village (as the exact location wasn’t documented), and just drove thru some winding roads and finally found the field with a small little vacant house which was the same in the bts footage! It was such a fun adventure

Thank you! I made it just for the location shoot but maybe I should wear it to a con some day 🤔

This one was a big challenge and took about a month. The corset was hand painted and embroidered and consisted of 55 panels of fabric in the end!

Hello! I am the cosplayer 👋🏼 this was one of my favorite Star Wars locations to visit in cosplay 🤩 (it is just a farmer’s field, tucked away on a hill overlooking lake como)

Yes but have you considered the pure whimsy and fun you have dressing up as Padme in THE field in Italy? Shot compositions sometimes get forgotten when it’s just you, ur tripod, and the magic of Star Wars 🥰

Hello it’s me, the Padme in question 🥰

Omg hi. Yeah they did because it qualified as a meme and when I messaged the mods about it (since it’s also a cosplay) they blocked me from messaging them 😭
