If Disney had a lick of sense, they would round up all of you and parade you about at Disney World! (I just finished watching Meme Mom's Snow White, and I LOVE Noelle's Merida, and yours is lovely, ....) I'm not suggesting that they kidnap you. But, a families included and getting to ride a parade float and photos in the castle....it would be lovely!
It took me days to watch the entirety of this video, but it was worth it! My daughter sat with me as we watched the final reveal and her reaction was priceless! She gasped, pointed and said, "It's Belle! She's so pretty!" Disney princess status: achieved!
In 1976 I wore my mothers 1953 wedding gown. Complete with hoops a la Scarlett O’Hara. The gown was made of cotton organdie, had a very full skirt with several embroidered flounces. It had about 50 tiny covered buttons up the back that weren’t sewn on top of a zipper-they were working buttons. Being economically minded, rather than send the dress to the cleaners after being stored in the cedar chest for many years, Mom was brave and tossed the dress into the washing machine in cold water and let it hang to dry. My mother HATED ironing so it was a Labor of love for her to starch and iron that dress but she did it. So, to make a long story even longer, yes, cotton organdie is stiff and crunchy. Oh, I DID have an 18 inch waist in that dress (long-line bra).
I know a lot of people aren't fans of 1830's sleeves, but I absolutely love them and I think the style suits you so well! And as a bonus, I adore how big tie-on pockets can be in that era. So convenient!
Cutting always takes longer than it seems like it should. I really love the effect you got layering/ruching the organza on the bodice. If Disney ever sees this they will finally understand why thelive action dress was SUCH a disappointment to so many people. Yours is truly the fairy tale dress brought to life.
It's 2021, can we normalize not feeling guilty about not making the historical undergarments for every single project. Do what makes you happy, but this is a hobby and I am here to make pretty dresses
Not sewing related, but I could swear I see Tamora Pierce’s Song of the Lioness series and the Immortal’s quartet in the background! I don’t see Tamora Pierce on a lot of peoples book shelves. It made me ridiculously happy!
That you did! The Lioness Series was one of my first introductions to Fantasy (other than Narnia Books) It has a special place in my heart. The Trickster Books are my favourite in the Tortall Universe
I met her at Denver Comic Con a few years ago. She is a sweet spirit. I agree with the Trickster series being my favorite as well. Her Circle of magic series is well done. Crafts as a form of magic.
Mulan was, and still is, my favorite Disney princess❤️ I’ve watched that movie more times than I can count😂 However, in my adult years, I’ve discovered Giselle and she is definitely a close second!❤️
Awww this is so beautiful! Belle was also my favourite growing up since she was the only brunette and liked books. As I get older I start to respect Cinderella and Aurora more and more. Also love Giselle
I think somebody should make a video compilation of all the costumers making historical Disney cosplays. I want to be able to admire all together in a row.
Making the cording out of yarn-on-hand, brilliant! I am going to do that right now, so I'll always have a supply ready. Your gown is beautiful, as are you wearing it. xx
Wow this is gorgeous in every way. The inspiration dress did scream "Belle." The color of that fabric is beautiful and just perfect. The dress came out so pretty! And I totally buy you as Belle.
I really hope that someday there is a ball or something that everyone who made historical Disney outfits can go to so we can see photos of everyone in their Disney outfits together.
Seam finishing is what detail quality garment over one just throw together it also shows patience and a love for detail. Beauty outcome, love the inspiration you use to craft your garment.
I have been so excited to see this come together, and it's just so special, I love it!!! 💛 We love Brokenwood Mysteries in our house. Hope you enjoy it!
I haven't finished the video yet as I had to rush to the comments section to highlight how brilliant it is to use stacked magnets on a pair of scissors to cut out an even seam allowance! Absolutely genius, I'm definitely going to be using that idea!
Absolutely gorgeous!!! Belle has always been one of my favourite characters and I also love the fashion of the 1830s, so this is the perfect video haha!
Favorite Disney Princess? No, I'm afraid I like the Queens (and it's surprising how many there are!) My favorite Queens are Queen Leah, Queen Elinor, and of course, the unforgettable Queen Grimhilde. If you look at Grimhilde's clothes, it soon becomes clear that her concerns over her looks stem from the fact that NONE of the purples in her outfit match. If only there had been enough of one shade of purple, maybe we wouldn't have to be asking a mirror how we look every five minutes! Your dress came out WONDERFULLY! The removable roses are a nice touch.
I like the stacked magnet trick to cut SA. Unfortunately, I hate it when my scissors become magnetized...more risk to accidently cut on a pin that has quietly stuck itself to the blades. This is the same reason I don't prefer a magnet pin collector. The trick, however, is very clever.
You could cut a piece of cardboard with the length of your SA width and stick it to your scissors with adhesive tape or another kind of adhesive (the gum-type for example).
So perfect that the historical inspiration dress featured roses! both for Belle and your channel name lol. I need to use that ruler under the fabric trick, its genius. I have a terrible habit of pinning (and then sewing) layers that should not be joined.
Okay, I do not mean any disrespect, when I saw the thumbnail I was thinking "everyone else was doing it I'll watch this one too". But I'm glad I stuck around till the end to see the finished product because your side by side and frolicking are pure joy and so much more beautiful.
I’m surprised how much your bookshelf looks like my Kindle library. You have excellent taste in literature, Madame! Great job on the Belle gown!!! I love all the little details, like the piping, the ruching of the organza...there’s a lot of depth going on there! As a kid, none of the Disney princesses appealed... self-rescuing princesses weren’t a thing at Disney, yet. As an adult, I love Belle’s bookworm-ish nature, but Merida and Mulan are more my style, sort of. Which Disney “princess” is the most tomboyish and self sufficient? That would be my heroine.
Why thank you 😁 I love my little book collection. I think Belle is my favourite princess partial because of her love of books(the library scene still makes me dreamy). Mulan and Rapunzel are tied for second on my list😁 Have you seen @CostumingDrama 's Merida videos yet??
@@EnchantedRoseCostumes Heck yes!! Her Merida dress is the stuff of dreams!! Noelle is the queen of bustle dresses. Sewstine’s Anna Harvest Dress vía House of Worth is inspired, too. All of you are doing some incredible work on these cosplays!
Man this pipping trick is gold! I'm taking this for my life. That piped neck is LIT🔥🔥🔥 I loved how the organza looks with the silk. So beautiful. The whole gown is beautiful. The sleeves are wonderful! Looks pretty hard to make though. Hehehe everything turned out great and now I want these sleeves on my life!!
That is utterly stunning. You do amazing work and more than a tad inspirational. I'm not exactly what one would call the 'classic' size/build (or popular - I'm 6'2 for heaven's sake!) and when I see someone with your gift, who looks like a real person and is utterly, staggeringly gorgeous in their creations, it gives this Amazon hope. Thank you for your videos and work! (Also, seriously jealous. Belle is one of the few Disney princesses I like/care about and I, in my pasty so white I'm practically a human version of those see-thru tree frogs from the rainforest and will never ever ever be able to wear her gown in the right color. It is ridiculously lovely on you. The envy. It drips.)
I think a fun challenge would be to remake a dress from the movies that you were disappointed in (for whatever reason). Make the dress how you think it should've been made
Okay I’ve seen so many of these videos that’ve been posted like THIS week. I saw a historical Snow White, A historical Rapuzel, this historical Belle, and I’m SURE I’m forgetting another one
I was terrified to see you looking so tired and sad while you commented on possibly making the wrong choice. I know you're a pro and a nightowl but you have fans who worry! However, the dress is a masterpiece, of course, and you looked absolutely lovely in it. Accessories are perfect and your idea for the roses as pins is brilliant. I loved the cartridge pleats and thanks for the explanation. Very best wishes and thank you.
I didn't know it was a coordinated project and got a bit confused when I saw Angela Clayton's video suggested after Karolina Zebrowska's and there figured something was to be prepared when I saw all of the other disney characters. I love love love when the costuming community comes together like that, it's so much fun and lets us discover new amazing creators
You make a lovely Belle! And I think they always talk about the swishing and crinkling of dresses at balls in historical literature, so I think that the silks needs the organdies must have had a certain recognizable sound to them!
Ariel is my favorite character since childhood, but Rapunzel and Pocahontas are definitely making it in my top tier list Thanks for the video, this era suits you very nicely !
THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I SAID IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN! It would have worked for the film, too! The beast is TOTALLY dressed like the 1830's, & rural France would still have "peasant (sort of) clothes) (& yes, that exact plate is in MY "Historical Belle" file!)
Oh, it is sooooo pretty and you look like a beautiful princess in it. Well, I made a Bell costume for my grand daughter when she was about four years old. It was fun and she looked cute in it, but wow, it was nothing like what you have created here. It is pure magic.
Cute!!!! Nicely done! I'm not sure which is my favourite Disney princess... Cinderella, Elsa and Merida would be at the top of the list! (And I named my kid Aurora... she definitely thinks she's a princess)
Love the dress. I did think that the ruffles were gores though.Belle is my favorite princess too. The feather reminds me of Cinderella’s stepsistersalso.
This turned out so beautifully! You look very effervescent--also brilliant idea with pinning the roses on. I've made the mistake of sewing flowers onto a ballgown before and 10/10 regretted it X_x
My dear lady, you put so much effort i to making the dress and spend 5 seconds not really showing it off. Take some glamour shots or at least a breath. This dress made me so happy. The vivid yellow and recognizable silhouette. Amazing work.
Your dress looks very beautiful and it's very flattering on you. Disney should have done something like this for the remake. The new one looks tacky, this one looks magical and fancy! So much work, dear Lord, but great video also! Have a nice week
I am new to your channel but have been lurking the historical costube scene for a bit. This turned out so great and I'm glad you didn't get discouraged with the skirt problem. I could feel the pain for real! Very nicely done and you earned a new sub.
It's fabulous!!! My favourite Disney Princess is Moana, and I will indeed be creating a Disney historical gown - a Burgundian Merryweather (the blue fairy from Sleeping Beauty), which I'm super excited about as all my historical gowns to this point have been for my six year old daughter so it's nice to be trying a new historical era and as well as a new model, me!
Wow! That turned out so nice! Sorry you missed the cherry blossoms--they just don't last long. We had some lovely blooms for a few days, then a big wind storm blew through and POOF...gone. Pink confetti all over my car, but none left on the trees. :(
You know, Marika? The minute I saw you in that dress something wasn’t right.. I didn’t see you as Belle but I DID see you as the fairy Godmother. I always loved that character and I hate how the movies have always made her look old and over the top. Would you consider making a gown for a young and genuinely good and kind fairy godmother, with all that entails? The glitter, the good aspect (which you have in droves(?) is this the word?) and maybe incorporate the myths around benevolent fairies (are there good fairy myths?). Every time you smile, I’m like: she’s going to make a dress and send someone to the ball.. and she has such a kind smile.. that’s how I realized you’re a fairy Godmother. ❤️🇮🇱
You're right, this design is perfect for Belle *__* And you always seem to find the perfect fabric for your projects! Your video did transport me right into that story - I need to go find a copy of TB&TB somewhere asap :)

OMG, sheer gathered accents like this NEED TO BE A THING. It looks so cool!
You and Karolina Zebrowska *the same day*?! Whatever did we do to deserve this, magnificent!
I KNOW! Wheeeeee!
RIGHT! my heart's a flutter lol
Belle and Snow White!
Any day with Meme mom is a good day! 😁
Have you seen Nicole Rudolph’s video on her maleficent costume? It is epic too!
If Disney had a lick of sense, they would round up all of you and parade you about at Disney World! (I just finished watching Meme Mom's Snow White, and I LOVE Noelle's Merida, and yours is lovely, ....) I'm not suggesting that they kidnap you. But, a families included and getting to ride a parade float and photos in the castle....it would be lovely!
I would gladly let Disney kidnap me for fun Disney World/Land Shenanigans 😂😂😂😂
It took me days to watch the entirety of this video, but it was worth it! My daughter sat with me as we watched the final reveal and her reaction was priceless! She gasped, pointed and said, "It's Belle! She's so pretty!"
Disney princess status: achieved!
Look at this lady popping gowns out without breaking a sweat! Insane skill on display as always
I gasped at the finished dress. It invokes the feeling of the original gown so much and I'm in love.
In 1976 I wore my mothers 1953 wedding gown. Complete with hoops a la Scarlett O’Hara. The gown was made of cotton organdie, had a very full skirt with several embroidered flounces.

Yes! It was the first fantasy series I read that had a female protagonist. Tamora Pierce is so wonderful. Hmmmm...might be time for a reread.
I met her at Denver Comic Con a few years ago. She is a sweet spirit. I agree with the Trickster series being my favorite as well. Her Circle of magic series is well done. Crafts as a form of magic.
Came for sewing content and got reading recommendations. I love this community)
Love that series. Actual *real* girl power. I got my books signed a few years ago at World Con. She was great to talk to!
"Sleevils" omg. Can we just call them that from now on??
The first time I heard the term I laughed for a loooong time 😂😂😂
1:27 Ooooohhhh so that’s why all of my favorite historical sewing channels have been making historical disney costumes,,,
Mulan was, and still is, my favorite Disney princess❤️ I’ve watched that movie more times than I can count😂
However, in my adult years, I’ve discovered Giselle and she is definitely a close second!❤️
Awww this is so beautiful! Belle was also my favourite growing up since she was the only brunette and liked books. As I get older I start to respect Cinderella and Aurora more and more. Also love Giselle
I know other people have said it but I legit gasped when you came out wearing the finished dress! It looks magical!
Yaaaas! I've been dying for someone to do this! I hated that dress from the live action. Just sayin. Thank you!
The live action dress made me very sad...
@@EnchantedRoseCostumes me too. It was a prom dress. A nice prom dress, but a prom dress non-the-less
@@EnchantedRoseCostumes Me too...I suspect it was designed to be easily reproduced and sold as a kids costume....
We shall not speak of the omelette atrocity.
Live action prom dress was also not helped by lack of proper undergarments.
I think somebody should make a video compilation of all the costumers making historical Disney cosplays.
I want to be able to admire all together in a row.
Making the cording out of yarn-on-hand, brilliant! I am going to do that right now, so I'll always have a supply ready. Your gown is beautiful, as are you wearing it. xx
I came across the tip on IG reels 😁😁
I’m sorry that is an inordinate amount of piping 😂 cute but SO MUCH WORK
My brain: *that's enough piping, don't go over board*
My heart: *MOAAR PRETTIES*
Unrelated, but I cannot explain how happy it makes me to see Tamora Pierce books in the background!
Same!!
So excited for all the historical Disney headed our way! I love your recreation of the fashion plate, it's so dang charming.
Not a Disney fan, not a princess fan and I don't like yellow clothes. But your dress is lovely, well-made and you look charming wearing it. Good job!
Can I just think you for showing us how the grains and biases work in this? It's wonderfully helpful
Wow this is gorgeous in every way. The inspiration dress did scream "Belle." The color of that fabric is beautiful and just perfect. The dress came out so pretty! And I totally buy you as Belle.

the dress is so dreamy. i feel like the lightness of the organza adds to the word.
I haven't finished the video yet as I had to rush to the comments section to highlight how brilliant it is to use stacked magnets on a pair of scissors to cut out an even seam allowance! Absolutely genius, I'm definitely going to be using that idea!
I know right!?! It is not my idea! I can't remember where I first saw it, but I keep a pack of mini magnets close by now for that hack 😁
The amount of patience required to do all that piping👏👏👏 amazing
You have single-handedly changed my mind about the 1830s in the last couple of videos. I couldn't see it before, but I do now. I love this dress!
It makes me so happy to hear that! The 1830s is so much fun! 😁
Belle is definitely my favorite princess! Always has been! Do one with Cinderella!!
Lady Rebecca Fashions just put out a video for the pink dress from Cinderella!
Absolutely gorgeous!!! Belle has always been one of my favourite characters and I also love the fashion of the 1830s, so this is the perfect video haha!

The sleeves, the flowers, the belt, the bodice, the FEATHER. I am obsessed.
yayayay Was super fun hanging out and taking pics and video with you, will try and practice more for next time, hehe.

I can see that dress is giving you tons of joy to wear. Great job and it seems like a gargantuan amount of hours. So beautiful
I am going to wear it every chance I get 😂😂😂😂😂
Belle is my favorite Disney princess. You did her justice
I've been amateury working on a Belle gown for so looong I'll come back to this video every time I want to give up. Because it's beautiful
Okay, I do not mean any disrespect, when I saw the thumbnail I was thinking "everyone else was doing it I'll watch this one too". But I'm glad I stuck around till the end to see the finished product because your side by side and frolicking are pure joy and so much more beautiful.

You look beautiful! I hope you feel the tears were worth it. Belle is totally one of my favorite characters and you've certainly done right by her!
So many layers. So much piping. What an amazing effort!

Very beautiful. Belle is one of my favourites also. Love the yellow. The red on it really makes it
You make a lovely Belle! And I think they always talk about the swishing and crinkling of dresses at balls in historical literature, so I think that the silks needs the organdies must have had a certain recognizable sound to them!
The best thing about this was the "It has pockets!" dance 💛
This is so perfect!!! Thank you so much for doing Belle! She's my favourite disney princess, and I think you did an amazing job!!!!
I love, love, love this dress. It's so beautiful. I hope you know it was worth all the tears you shed. Good job!
Stunning, stunning, stunning! I am astounded by the quality of your gown! Congratulations, It looks magnificent!
Those sleeves! Chaotic Freecutting would make for a cool band name :D
Ariel is my favorite character since childhood, but Rapunzel and Pocahontas are definitely making it in my top tier list
Thanks for the video, this era suits you very nicely !
So pretty~ Also, Brokenwood is SO. GOOD!!!! I definitely concur.
THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I SAID IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN! It would have worked for the film, too! The beast is TOTALLY dressed like the 1830's, & rural France would still have "peasant (sort of) clothes) (& yes, that exact plate is in MY "Historical Belle" file!)
(Also, the "neck piece" is called a "bertha")
What a fabulous interpretation, and way to tackle an era so often ignored!
Oh, it is sooooo pretty and you look like a beautiful princess in it. Well, I made a Bell costume for my grand daughter when she was about four years old. It was fun and she looked cute in it, but wow, it was nothing like what you have created here. It is pure magic.
Gorgeous ! My most favourite Princes.. is the Original Princess.. Snow White
History bounding meets Disney bounding. I love it so much! Please do more, lovely costuber godesses!
Cute!!!! Nicely done!
I'm not sure which is my favourite Disney princess... Cinderella, Elsa and Merida would be at the top of the list!
(And I named my kid Aurora... she definitely thinks she's a princess)
Very clever piping hack! LOVE your fabrics. Gorgeous!
This dress is a delight! I love the sunshiney colour and the contrasting pop of the roses 🌹
Thank you so much!
Sooooo pretty!!!! The amount of love and work that went into it really shows!!!!!
So beautiful. Belle is my favorite and this gown is lovely.
Gorgeous!!!
And I have too many favorite princesses. Mulan, Moana, Rapunzel gahh too hard to choose.
Love the dress. I did think that the ruffles were gores though.Belle is my favorite princess too. The feather reminds me of Cinderella’s stepsistersalso.
You look amazing! What a beautiful gown. You deserve to be sooooo proud of yourself! It’s just magical!

Lovely, I loved to see you making this. And the reveal part was so pretty 🥰
Piping piping piping, get that dress a' piping, huzzahhhhh!
So beautiful! What a wonderful job on top of working around the frustrating issues.
My dear lady, you put so much effort i to making the dress and spend 5 seconds not really showing it off. Take some glamour shots or at least a breath. This dress made me so happy. The vivid yellow and recognizable silhouette. Amazing work.
Your dress looks very beautiful and it's very flattering on you. Disney should have done something like this for the remake. The new one looks tacky, this one looks magical and fancy! So much work, dear Lord, but great video also! Have a nice week
Your gown is lovely, and so Belle. Worth every bit of work,
Such a beautiful Belle!! You did an amazing job in your creative adventure!!!
I am new to your channel but have been lurking the historical costube scene for a bit. This turned out so great and I'm glad you didn't get discouraged with the skirt problem. I could feel the pain for real! Very nicely done and you earned a new sub.
It's fabulous!!! My favourite Disney Princess is Moana, and I will indeed be creating a Disney historical gown - a Burgundian Merryweather (the blue fairy from Sleeping Beauty), which I'm super excited about as all my historical gowns to this point have been for my six year old daughter so it's nice to be trying a new historical era and as well as a new model, me!
Wow! That turned out so nice! Sorry you missed the cherry blossoms--they just don't last long. We had some lovely blooms for a few days, then a big wind storm blew through and POOF...gone. Pink confetti all over my car, but none left on the trees. :(
I ended up finding a tree with some flowers!!
I’m crying rn I get to look at more book references. Rn is amazing
You just get better and better! Thanks so much for sharing.
You know, Marika?
The minute I saw you in that dress something wasn’t right.. I didn’t see you as Belle but I DID see you as the fairy Godmother. I always loved that character and I hate how the movies have always made her look old and over the top. Would you consider making a gown for a young and genuinely good and kind fairy godmother, with all that entails?
The glitter, the good aspect (which you have in droves(?) is this the word?) and maybe incorporate the myths around benevolent fairies (are there good fairy myths?).
Every time you smile, I’m like: she’s going to make a dress and send someone to the ball.. and she has such a kind smile.. that’s how I realized you’re a fairy Godmother. ❤️🇮🇱
To me the first cut into material is also the most daunting thing. I get the sweats and my heart starts pounding. 😓😓😓
you look amazing. Just so beautiful. You are the new Belle!
love the gown, great job, I have a queen gown and might try that. I love costuming. ren faire will be open again, so I'm all in
She looks so happy doing it that makes me feel complete ❤️☺️
Belle is my favorite too! Lovely dress!
You're right, this design is perfect for Belle *__* And you always seem to find the perfect fabric for your projects!
Your video did transport me right into that story - I need to go find a copy of TB&TB somewhere asap :)
Thank you so much!! I spend a lot of time looking for the right fabric 😄😄😄
