belle village dress
Below you'll find all blog posts related to my multiple versions of Belle's blue village dress - a quick version in 2006, a more serious version in 2007, a remake in 2012, and a version I made for a stage production in 2016.

Typical. + Belle progress
It’s not silly enough to post the whole thing, but just for the record, I’m not selling my Hoth Leia 😉 You know it’s funny – there are a few costumes I’ve thought about selling in the past. I’m not going to, but I’m not going to say the thought hasn’t crossed my mind. BUT – the ones I’ve thought…

Horrorfest plans
Nashville Comic/Horrorfest is ON 🙂 I think I may take regular Leia or Animated Leia — blue Belle if I finish it in time — yellow Belle for the zoo Sat night, and Kingdom Come Wonder Woman for a photoshoot on Sunday. I got the parts of my blue Belle dress cut out and sewn together. I decided to cut…

Halloween and Belle updates
I’m hoping to go pick up fabric for my new blue Belle dress this weekend. I’d like to go ahead and get started on it, despite how burnt-out I was feeling right after Dragoncon. With no internet on my laptop, I keep looking for other things to do — and with Chase working on new helmet sculpts in the work…

Progress updates
It’s so strange being able to pack my costumes – and not have to worry about shipping or airlines! This is the first time I’ve driven to Dcon, and the first time in a looong time I’ve not shipped costumes or had to store things in my luggage. It’s an odd experience, but a good one. Chase’s costume is almoooooost…

Mando, Belle updates
Today was really busy. We made good progress on Chase’s costume. It’s almost there. The mando is almost done, too. After the weathering on the shirt and vest dry I can finish it tomorrow. Blue Belle just needs one or two more things. Yellow Belle needs her roses sewn on. My secret costume needs the belt finished and the wig…

Handmaiden Corde, done!
I finished the handmaiden this morning!! 😀 Well, almost, I’ve got to hem the sleeves of the underdress but that’s it. I’m so excited I got one completely finished. I do still have to weather it but technically it’s done, I could wear it today if I needed to 🙂 Tonight I’ll finish blue Belle and the upgrades to yellow…

LOL I just found that funny) Handmaiden: More stamping, but not much – didn’t work on her very much this weekend. Mando: Got my vest 90% finished – shirt is made – pants are…
