Getting into the groove

The first few times I make a costume, it's definitely an experiment. I'm trying out fabrics, making a pattern, and figuring out just what people are interested in having.

This dress is the same fabric and color as the above dress, my camera and flash just made it look different.

This client liked the "stripe" around the bottom, but wanted it in a darker color instead of lighter color. It stands out much better in person.

The Medieval Princess will be $325 in the teal fabric. With the "stripe" around the bottom added in either the lighter or darker color it will be $360. With both the "stripe around the bottom and the bulls eye on the sleeve it will be $375. It can accommodate a slightly full a-line slip which is not included but can be added for $30.

Getting Brave

I finished up my second shot at the newest Princess in the line up yesterday. I wasn't sure about the fabric at first, the client sent it, it wasn't something I'd worked with much and presented a few new challenges but it turned out. This dress is styled closer to the dress worn at the theme parks.

The client also requested a slip to go underneath, it gives the dress a nice fullness.

This version of the Medieval Princess is $375, without the slip. The slip is an additional $30.

The other version can be seen here 

In other news I am accepting new orders. 

I will be shipping every two weeks instead of every week starting Sept. 11th.

The Brave Archer

This is my first try at the newest Princess. It turned out ok, there are a few things I'll change for next time. This dress is styled more like the dress worn in the movie.

This version of the Medieval Princess is $325
