      To be fair it sounds like they had their hearts set on Emma Watson to be Belle and she might have possibly twisted their arms to let her make a lot of the creative decisions. However it happened they ended up letting her make decisions not only with the dress, but even with the story. Honestly, they made a huge mistake letting the actress do anything but act. That girl is 👏UN👏ED👏U👏CAT👏ED👏 when it comes to corsets and it drives me nuts!! 🙄 Almost right at the beginning of this video, it’s even mentioned how one of the main purposes of corsets back then was to evenly distribute the weight in a way that all of those heavy, extravagant skirts were comfortably supported on the body. The fact that she refused to wear a corset completely tied their hands at creating an accurate Belle dress. So tragic, and all as a result of her ignorance.
      Edit: Maybe you already knew all that I just realized, lol 😂 But as you can probably tell I had some feelings to get out on the subject haha

    -that old/nostalgic feeling when you see the dress (which is amazing especially because the time period BATB was in)
    -how fluffy and satisfying the dress flows
    -you made the dress huge but not too big that it looks uncomfortable
    -not boring
    -jaw dropping and beautiful
    -how the fabric is placed to look like the dress belle wore

    Literally every single dress made by ‘amateur’ costumers and clothes makers is better than the professionally created, multi-million-dollar production funded, Disney-sanctioned mess pretending to be an iconic ball gown.
    HOWEVER: I also think that at large the blame for that mess pretending to be an iconic ball gown falls on the uninformed woman who wore it. Dresses of this caliber need structure and support, and seeing as Emma refused to wear any types of structural support garments (ie a very basic, modern corset), making a proper, functioning dress was nearly impossible.

    • @trans_panda
      @trans_panda 2 года назад +8

      Exactly! And her reasoning was just that it "supported" unrealistic beauty standards. NO IT DIDN'T. It gave the dress support to keep the wearer's back from breaking over the weight! It's support to save your back from breaking over the weight of the dress! I swear Emma needs to get her facts right. It's dress support, not "supporting" unrealistic beauty standards. I love Emma because of Harry Potter, but definitely not from Beauty and the Beast

    With all the same comments we van all agree that this is how the dress should have looked in the newer beauty and the beast. Not only does it look.exactly like bells animated dress it also seems historically accurate. Along with corsets most dresses of royals had huge hoops that gave their dresses volume. And the fact that its made mostly of lace is another positive. You really did your homework. Keep up your wonderful creativity and show.it to the world.

      I understand that you think her comment was disrespectful to everyone who put effort into the remake and the dress in the remake, but there were a lot of serious problems with not only the design of the dress itself, but also who had say in what the dress looked like. Emma Watson *refused* to wear a corset, and the director pushed the designer to comply to her wishes even though the designer disagreed (and knew her way around historically accurate pieces). Also, the designer didn’t really have much say in the final piece at all, since the director insisted that the final design be based off a drawing done by his daughter. That seems more disrespectful to the designer than the comments here. Could Cupcake Queen have said it nicer? Yeah, probably. But that doesn’t negate the flaws with the design and the politics behind how it turned out.

    What I really love about this dress is it fit the 1700's ballgown theme same years of the timeline of the beauty and the beast, but it still so outstanding and its beautiful details completed the dress, I also love the golden fabrics and details in the gown it really match the look. I really love the dress, keep up the good work
