Finished the blue Giselle Enchanted dress

[murphy1]

Just in time for the DVD, her highness (Princess Megan all of 4!) requested this one. I have to get going on the wedding dress next. I didn't use a pattern (thank goodness for Youtube!!), it was all in my head and the fabric is a linen washable embroidered teal from JoAnn.
Here are pics of it:

GOOD JOB! I just did Snow (http://good-times.webshots.com/photo/2515918560102834945ZajhSF?vhost=good-times)White for my daughter for this recent trip. She asked me for Hanna Montana next ???? She just turned 4 what can I say, at least I don't really have to make that.

Beautiful Snow White Cassi!! I want to make the Belle blue village dress for my 8 yo sometime in life:mickey: They have Hannah Montana Patterns out. If you check JoAnn, they have them for .99 sometimes.

Thank you I am such an amateur. I saw your home page you are very talented!!!! I'm not very well versed on using patterns. I try but end up just doing my own thing.

Great dresses ladies! This was my version of Princess Jasmine's wedding gown (http://inlinethumb64.webshots.com/20799/2102749510102032678S500x500Q85.jpg)- also done without a pattern. For Hannah Montana, we just bought a wig and microphone and put the rest of the pieces together from stuff she already owned - anything glittery and sparkly works really well! Oh yeah, we had to buy a heart-shaped necklace as well - Miley always wears hers!

Wow, these are all such beautiful gowns! I hope that your princesses all love them.

Shari, another gorgeous creation. Your princesses are so well-outfitted.

Also love Cassi's Snow White and Kathy's Jasmine wedding gown. You're all so talented! My daughter used to love dressing up, but I had to rely on the Disney store to keep her in gowns. Now she wouldn't dress up for anything- she's a rebellious 14. But I can smile at the memories.

It's okay, your daughter can always revert back and decide to start making her own costumes and clothes if she's an anime fan like me!

That's what I do! And soon, I'll be adding some very pretty (and poofy) princess dresses of my own to my collection! Including, Ariel's Kiss the Girl dress, Aurora's blue gown, and quite possibly, Belle's Parade of Dreams dress......as soon as I can find the right fabric. I considered making Sarah's Labyrinth...Oops! I meant Giselle's Wedding dress...but I didn't want to deal with all those layer of ruffles!

She is an anime fan! She has been to a convention and her friends are starting to make costumes, so it may be a matter of time. Then I'll be grilling you all for tips, no doubt.

Oh my gosh, you guys are all so talented! I have made costumes before, but I they are mostly held together by pure luck and prayer, rather than by any actual talent. I want to make Belle's blue dress before our October trip, and I know I need to get started soon, to leave time for the guarateed screw-ups.

You ladies are so talented! I'm definitely jealous...I should have kept up with those night school sewing classes that I used to take!!

THere is a great site Cosplay with lots of talented people who make some fantastic things! One girl made a Giselle dress that looks exactly like the adult one in the movie.

My 4 year old daughter has been saying she wanted that dress since she saw the movie!!

Wonderful job!! I wish I had even the smallest amount of talent to make a dress like that for my DD.:blush:

The site is Cosplay dot com and the girl, I believe was Ambrosia. I think Kitty is also on that site, as am I. I could definately give tips or anything for cosplayers! I love designing wigs and costumes! I'm such a huge anime fan.

[SimbaandNalasMama]

wow! those dresses are great. I know your princesses are very pleased!

Shari,

Hi there... I'm dying to make the Giselle dress for my daughter like theyou made for your beautiful daughter BUT when I went to JoAnns the lady said she'd never seen that fabric. Can you give me any additional information on it....like off the side of the actual fabric or anything??? Store you bought it at or where I can find it??? I'd appreciate any help you can give me.

Thanks!

Hi DDB, thanks so much! I've gotten some pm's on this and the wedding dress. I had to push the wedding dress for her back and am going to aim for Halloween. Unfortunately this fabric was a spring embroidered linen, so I don't know where it might be. You might want to do a search for embroidered teal or aqua tafetta or you could even just use a teal cotton without the embroidery. I usually look on Ebay or a few other sites for hard to find fabrics.

I've also gotten some nice pm's from people who want me to make either this one or the wedding dress, but I really just did this as one of a kind. I will probably be selling this blue on on Ebay in the near future, she doesn't really want to wear it anymore, its' a size 4, it would be great for Halloween or play.
