(Note: I had previously uploaded a not so sharp version of this video. I had, however, recorded two videos; and the other (this!) one was sharper than the one I previously posted. Since Facebook does not allow me to just replace the old video, I had to make the old one private and upload this new one instead.) Since its always so exciting for non-embroidery machine users to watch this process, I recorded a short video of it. I used shiny, non-metallic thread in gunmetal grey, a good bit lighter than the fabric, for the tunic buttons. I did that because I wanted to somehow visually connect the otherwise anthracite tunic to the coat with its silvery metal brooch. Again, those buttons can NEVER be seen by anyone looking at the costume when its worn since the place they are sewn to (side front of the tunic!) is COMPLETELY covered by the coat when its worn. Its a sheer vanity type of decoration for the wearer, who WILL know that there are Imperial buttons on the tunic. And no, until posting this (and, of course, until Dirk reads this...), the future wearer had NO IDEA that he would have embroidered buttons on the tunic, lol. Its a last minute idea I had while assembling the costume because I thought that something was missing on my creation. I also thought that an Emperor deserves a special kind of embellishment. After all, the Naboo Queens proudly wear the Naboo symbol all over their robes as well; and quite a few of the Imperial staff also wear the Imperial symbol; so there.
