Princesses

[atherleisure]

I have pictures of my princesses in their new dresses.


Sleeping Beauty is made using the Simplicity 9384 pattern that's out of print. It calls for thirty-two pieces to the skirt and horsehair braid. I skipped the horsehair braid but otherwise did everything the pattern called for. It's quite a dress.


Merida is much simpler and was made using Simplicity 1557. It's got a petticoat underneath, and I need to watch part of the movie again to see whether the ruffle is supposed to peek out or if I need to shorten it a bit.

They're both quite happy with their dresses, though they've outgrown the period of wanting to wear them around constantly.

They both look really great! That is a whole lot of pieces for one skirt!

Thanks. It's sixteen pieces flat-lined with organza, but that was a lot of cutting and a lot of French seams since organza can be scratchy.

How fun! You put a lot of work into those! I bet they have a wonderful twirl! :)
