Since getting a Disneyland annual pass, my new favorite pastime has been Disneybounding: dressing up as your favorite Disney/Pixar/Star Wars/Marvel characters using everyday clothes (since adults aren't allowed to wear full costumes outside of special ticketed events). While I primarily focused on princesses and other standard Disney characters at first, I quickly found myself creating more and more Star Wars bounds. Here's a look at all of them so far.
Padme
Kylo Ren
Kylo Ren is my favorite Star Wars character and current obsession, hence a second bound (check out the first one here)! I ended up wanting to do a sexier take when I found this hooded dress on Shein. I swapped the lace gloves (they were always falling down) with arm sleeves and made sure to wear beige shorts underneath, because the thigh slits are pretty high! Also added a giant red gem ring for some bling, because why not?
I already had the accessories (knowing it was worth the investment since I'd definitely be wearing the OG look more than once!): toy lightsaber (Amazon), lightsaber necklace (Etsy) and earrings (Hot Topic), and the most adorable Kylo Ren plush (eBay).
Queen Amidala
When Disney released these Queen Amidala ears, I knew I had to pair a look to go with them! I knew the key for this look, becoming a complicated costume, would have to be condensed to the basics: red and gold.
I paired a red dress I already had in my closet with a gold belt and a red shawl, plus my Naboo necklace. Voila!
Princess Leia
For this non-Disney princess look I found a pretty white dress on Shein and purchased the belt on Amazon, put my hair in buns, and added my Yoda Tsum Tsum. Done and done!
Rey
For my Rey look I decided to get thrifty to make her criss-crossing robes. I went to a fabric store and found a tan-colored piece of discounted fabric I then cut into long strips and hand-stitched together. I reused my white dress for Leia for a feminine approach, spent some money on buying the belt from Amazon, and completed with some tan-colored arm sleeves. The most complicated piece about this was the hair!
