FINALLY FINISHED SEWING MY BELLE FRENCH COSPLAY :・゚✧
I'm sooooo happy with how it turned out ♥̩̥̩♥̩̩̥͙♥̩͙ˊˎ
Alright, this is gonna be a long-ish thread because I spent 2 sleepless weeks patterning and sewing this so I need to go into detail about the dress and whatnot:・゚✧: The only thing I wanted to change was to add GOLD THREAD because I fully believe Rumple made that dress and there is a severe lack of gold in the original costume.
Sooo I spent around 18+ hours hand sewing the brown bias tape with gold embroidery thread---which was through multiple layers of denim and I about demolished my fingertips, it was not fun but SO worth it for the results.
The blouse was by far the hardest part because I was dumb at Joann's closing sale and went with CHIFFON which I have learned is the fabric of the devil himself. So extremely hard to work with and I couldn't embroider directly onto it; so I had the genius idea to cut out rose lace and hand sew it between 2 layers of the chiffon. painfully slow process but I think she's absolutely gorgeous and I'm so glad I decided to add the lace.
OKAY THAT'S ALL, ILY IF YOU READ ALL OF THIS <3
