Finally got around to shooting Belle! First time I wore it was for a 4 year old birthday party (no photoshoots there, herpderp) and second time was for a big Disney group at Dragon*Con which was just crazy, hectic. Made this costume in like....4 days...minus the wig. But my level of sweatshopping is CRAAAZY.
The skirt is fully ruched with a petticoat lining and 4-hoop crinoline. In this picture, I'm wearing an underbust corset and the bodice is boned with spiral steel boning, serged and lined and features gold eyelets in the back for a tight fit. The wig is a half ponytail with an extension bun (odango) that I made myself, using a styrofoam ball and wrapping/stuffing hair around it. It's then mounted onto the half ponytail while the rest of the wig is curled.
