The Phantom Menace: The handmaidens' battle ensemble possesses not only the elegence and beauty of all the Queen's gowns, but also the functionality required for battle. The outfit is made of a heavy woven cloth with special energy-absorbing fibers that act as protection against blaster fire. The high collar hides a blast-absorbing pad, and the calf-length coat protects the legs while permitting easy motion. The leather boots provide high-traction and the hair is pulled back securely to prevent distractions. The Naboo royal emblem decorates the belt.
Design: This gown was originally designed with a wider belt, as seen in the second piece of concept art, but it was slimmed down as the belt was thought too constricting.
