Leia Organa (SW 40th anniversary project 3/9)

Here's the next part (3 of 9) of my Star Wars anniversary project, and the first of my new versions of the main trio. That's actually my third Leia doll now - the first was my second doll ever, more than two years ago, and then I did an updated version one year after that. What's new in this version is that I changed the way I make heads for my dolls - they're a bit smaller and less clunky with more detail. I've also changed the shape of the dress - the dress from the movie is very loose-fitting with flowing fabric, and while beads don't really do loosely flowing very well, I tried to get as close as I could.

And most important - feet! Both older versions basically had toes stuck to the front of their dresses, which always bothered me, so now I worked out a way to get actual feet poking out from below the rim of her dress.
