Costume designer Aggie Guerard Rodgers built the costume as part of the Industrial Light & Magic visual effects company, along with Nilo Rodis-Jamero. Some say the bikini, worn in the first act of Return of the Jedi, was designed after Fisher's complaints that the loose-fitting outfits she wore in Star Wars concealed her feminine physique, but Fisher has later denied this. Rodgers said that Lucas gave her only general instructions about the scene in Jabba's palace, but wanted a special costume. She originally wanted 25 yards of fabric to be flowing through the scene", but couldn't make it work.
