Hey folks! I'm starting on one of my dream costumes, Belle's yellow ballgown, inspired by the Beauty and the Beast Broadway musical. I saw that when it was in it's original run on Broadway a long time ago and Beauty and the Beast is one of my favorite movies and I love Belle!
I'm hoping to have this done by the time the cherry blossoms start blooming here, which means I have until roughly late Feb, probably. (yikes!)
I thought maybe you might enjoy seeing my WIP pics as I plow through the costume.
Here's a couple of my reference pics. I'm not going for a straight up replica, but it will be mostly based on these. Mostly because I'd like to have freedom to choose what I like best in the design and fabrics.
Here's most of my fabrics (squee!)
Here's the second muslin over my trusty selfmade Laughing Moon Victorian corset. The muslin is modified from Simplicity 4479 (Phantom of the Opera Masquerade pink gown) Still some modifications to be made from this point (mostly around the collar and sleeve size, etc..)
