Our sweet friend Claire asked me to help her get together a Belle dress to wear to her costumed bridal shower this weekend, and I was so excited to help! I managed to find some pretty yellow satin at the fabric store that had a small stain the size of a dime. The girl who cut the fabric offered to mark it down and call it “damaged”, so it was dirt cheap! The rest of the supplies (zipper, laces, tulle, buttons, etc.) I had on hand.
To design the dress, I tried my best to copy Grace’s Belle costume from a couple of years ago. It worked out pretty well without a pattern. I kept it really simple and didn’t line the dress or finish the inside seams…so it was fairly easy and not stressful!
Doesn’t Claire look just like Belle? I told her she could work at Disneyworld! Grace wanted to wear her Belle dress, too, for the picture!
