Well, when movies go into production they often do make more than one version of some costumes. An obvious reason would be for stunts. Not that the packing dress was used in a stunt, but maybe the costume department builds in a little cushion for wear and tear if they can?

Ooh! I wan I want I want that 'Fashion Knits S& Black Coral Mesh' fabric from JoAnn's mentioned at Padawabsguide! It would be so perfect for the Black Invasion Gown, which I have always wanted to make. Alas, JoAnn's don't ship overseas, and though my friend is staying at USA at the moment, I can't even find the fabric from their site. So blaah.

I try to make this a short update.

I finished my Packing gown before the advanced premiere. Or at least it was ready enough. I am not at least satisfied with it, my mom cut the hem of my skirt a bit too short and the vest does not look good. And I so wanted it to be perfect.
