vintage postcards
Here is an even closer look at the snazzy lamp shade - y head topper! Vintage postcards to me are enchanting mini historical documents. These costumes have virtually disappeared and can really only be seen now in museums or special festivals!
The hat is part of the regional costume of Bourg en Bresse in France:)

Thank you for presenting a vintage postcard showing past personages in the royal family of Naboo. Perhaps even an ancestor of Amidala herself.
