This costume was an unusual choice for me because I didn’t know the character very well.  I’d never played Knights of the Old Republic, and her appearance in Star Wars Tales was very brief and confusing.  But, Scott wanted to make a Nihilus costume, and it seemed like Visas would be the best match for a female character to go with his Nihilius, so I got to work!  I chose the comic version of her costume because I like the wide sleeves and the color of the dress.

    To be honest, I’m not really pleased with this costume yet.  The maroon fabric is very stiff, so it always hangs wrong and has no drape, and I made a few mistakes while I was sewing the overdress.  I know from experience that I won’t be happy with the costume until I start over from scratch and try again!  We’re planning to take Visas and Nihilus to Celebration V this summer, so perhaps I’ll finish in time to debut Visas 2.0 that weekend!
