Ariel Pink Dress Tutorial Part One

Image
Okay. So. I know there's been some issue with Ariels pink dress. A lot of very influential bloggers have stated they dislike it. Red hair, it is commonly known, does not make good bed partners with the color pink. Brichan, my very favorite artist has even made a most amusing picture -> http://briannacherrygarcia.deviantart.com/art/pink-makes-ariel-cry-52697915 Which, by the by is HILARIOUS. So many cosplayers have seen and posed in this way because Bri is like a demi-god in the Disney world. She deserves that status believe you me. Anyway, for my part, I've never seen anything offensive about the gown. In fact, it is my favorite Disney Princess dress. I can recall the scene perfectly, where Ariel steps out from the shadows and into the light, modest and eager, and Erik is all like; DAYUM. Anyway, bottom line.

One dollar a yard. Six yards on the role.  OH COME ON!!! So off I went, digging through my gargantuan stash. I know I have enough black to kit together a decent mourning undie set, I KNOW it. Just took some looking. I found about four yards of black cotton, and a thin, mystery poly slightly shiny? Also a thin black fabric, kinda like a super thin gabardine? Lastly I found three rolls o...

When I first began sewing I got this idea. See, I have a surplus of fabric, a ridiculous amount of patterns and quite a stash of thread. However, I am one of the people who has a hard time sewing something if it doesn't have a purpose. So I thought, hey, Im gonna make costumes for myself and my family and do family portraits in them! Last year I actually made the costumes, civil war era in the theme of Abraham Lincoln's anniversary thing. However, never managed to get family pictures done in them, bummer. But Still! I sewed them. This year im thinking... REGENCY Right? Right? Anyway, Here are the ingredients: Burda 2747 My sisters not too info the whole Princess Twirl-a-long that I am, I mean, Im almost thirty and ID dress like Disney at the drop of a hat. So, instead of the drama of forcing her to wear a dress, I offered another option. She could cross dress as a gentleman. I have the pattern, and the only other gentleman who will be in attendance is my son. ...
