Description

This isn't completely done lol (I need to redo the back hem, since it's a bit loopy literally aaand eventually add a modesty panel) but nearly there! And I'm glad it is, too, after I spent approximately 20+ HOURS and about 50 feet of embroidery floss hand-embroidering this thing. >< Also doing it in fear that I might screw up and ruin the $28/yd velvet. >___>;; As anyone can tell my wallet will cry MANY MANY tears by the time I'm done. For now, though, I'm doing this cosplay bit by bit and sometime next year the full thing will be done. It's just going to take a while since I want to make the skirt and cape all hand-embroidered, too, and out of wool. Which is hella expensive and time consuming. So I'm taking my time. xDD

Sorry this thing looks so wrinkly on the dress form; I swear it's not when it's on me! You'll all see in the future once I post pics of me wearing the whole thing. xD Darn dress form is just kinda short.....not as long as a real human torso lol. And with its funky proportions it doesn't fit it as well. Also white fuzzies everywhere! I need to use a lint roller. xD

I added in some zoomed in shots of the embroidery; go easy on me, it was my first time embroidering! xD Also my first time using bias tape. Not my first time making a bodice or a lace-back top though. :3 And yes, I did elongate the design to give it a more vertical feel. It's the only slight change to her Rosemaling that I made. If anyone is wondering, I got the back design from a video I watched (verrryyy closely) of the Disney Parks Anna's bodice. I couldn't use the cartoon design, because it cuts right through the middle of the back and wouldn't make a pretty picture as I have to have the grommets back there and they'd chop it in half. xD

So yes. Everything I used for this was bought at JoAnn Fabrics. The back is lace-up, with a hook-and-eye closure at the top to keep it from going derpy. If anyone wants any specifics, like what pattern I used (I did modify it though) and whatnot, feel free to ask and I'll answer as best as I can. ^^


Bodice made by me.
