#sdgr rapunzel

I think I need to tone down the flowers in the braid, but here's my customish Rapunzel. I only got the doll so I had to source the wig and outfit separately. I got the longest blond wig I could find which ended up being a very cheap 70cm synthetic wig from taobao and did a 5 stranded braid with 3 thin braids inside. The flowers kind of overpower braid itself though to the point of hiding the braid entirely. The dress is a dessers dress I searched for and finally found on xy.

I thought the Rapunzel outfit that the Disney expo auction Lieselotte wore was super lovely with the lace and frills and wanted something similar esp since my other Disney girls have fancier dresses than the company ones. I think if I added separate puff sleeves at the shoulders and maybe a crisscrossing ribbon in the front would convey more of a Rapunzel feel, but this is where I'm at for now.

I still need to redo the company faceup, but seeing how long Cinderella took me, we'll see how long this one will take 🙈.

can you tell who she is?

I attempt at recreating a Rapunzel style hair.

(Bonus brown short hair Rapunzel below the cut)

I hear that the original volks Rapunzel wig was like 80cm long. I searched for a while, but the longest i could find was 70cm long, so i just went with that. The color is more yellow than gold, so i might try dying the 2nd one i got, but if it doesn't work out, we'll still have this.

I went for about 3 thin braids that'd be incorporated in the big braid and then did a 5 strand braid. The straightening the hair first probably took me the longest, then the trying to divide hair into 5 equal parts took the next longest. Actual braiding is pretty simple. I then bought a few sprigs of fake flowers and just kind of stuffed them in the hair. (if you move her, several will fall 😅) I'm half tempted to glue them in, but i suppose the proper way would be to sew them in or something. But that's a pain. She's not going out, so i'll leave it as is for now.

I like the short brown wig, but it has a bit more vertical swoosh in the front than i expected, so still a little iffy on it.

Next on the list is to get a purple-ish dress that isn't necessarily the same as the movie, but gives a similar feel. I have my eye on a specific one that i think will work, but i'm still in talks with the seller, so we'll see. 🤞 For now just a little janky phone edits to turn a blue dress purple as seen in the first two pics.
