    All of the quilting on the corset is SO pretty and you don't even get to see it! And I'm so impressed that all the cording in the petticoats gave it so much volume without a hoop

    Imagine if Disney actually had the cajones to give us a period 1830s version of The Little Mermaid WITH ALL THOSE FANTASTIC HARISTYLES.
    The 1830s had the weirdest silhouette imo, but you still made such a pretty dress. QvQ Definitely want a better look at that corset construction.

    • @BellaMaesDesigns

    Exquisite work! Bella, would you consider making the most gorgeous Belle dress? I would love to see what you would have designed for the live action Beauty and the Beast if they’d given you the opportunity.
    I wasn’t crazy about the live action dress Emma wore. Although I was impressed when you recreated it exactly.

  • @LaVaneBea
    @LaVaneBea Před rokem +1

    I love this. The only commentary I dare add is that I think it would be interesting if the fabric itself was more modern/fantasy looking, in a shade similar to what they use at the parks. It could make for a fun mix of historical and Disney.
    That said, I absolutely admire your dedication and video quality

  • @Luischocolatier
    @Luischocolatier Před rokem +3

    This is fun! Last year I designed and made a full illustration myself an 1830's dress for Ariel based on the pink gown she uses for the dinner scene! I also included the fork, it's basically a MUST HAVE reference in that hair and that time!

    All that is needed is a pink/purple shell accent at the bust for a bit of color and to match the shell/rosette on Ariel's gown. Doesn't event need to be sewn on. Everything else is so perfectly done it would be the topper on an already iced cake.
