I Made the Live Action Cinderella Ballgown

[@alexandrarovirosa]

As someone who’s done costume reproduction and sewing commissions, I wouldn’t charge any less than $20 an hour (I personally would charge $30 at least). You are using skills that have taken you years to acquire, and not just anyone could take a pile of fabric and make this dress! I hope this doesn’t come across as harsh in any way! I’ve had to learn the hard way doing commissions and you should 100% charge your worth. The dress is STUNNING. Cinderella’s gown is one of my bucket list projects and I am really picky when I see reproductions - you did an amazing job!

[@nerdgeekcosplay909]

I’m about to start sewing lessons soon. I hope they are worth the $300

[@maeganachoy8222]

I love how you’re sharing your experience and ensuring someone else doesnt fall victim to the same injustice. I wish you tremendous success!! 🙌🏼

[@agtotheogisthejourneytomyl8743]

Lol I have 2 much younger sisters and they love princes so I like making them there dresses RN I am doing a snow whit one

[@j_0anna]

i earn $18AU an hour which is about $13US for working retail... which in comparison to this is incredibly easy. i think people making stuff of this calibre should be charging at least $30 an hour! i could never in a million years do something like this, it is definitely worth the money.

[@susanh.352]

Exactly. Especially the way our economy is today. At least $30 per hr.

[@sherinbernstein932]

So stunning. I think it would actually be pretty reasonable to charge the 4000 dollars. The amount of work and the high quality of your work (a lot of handsewing etc) plus the materials is bound to wind up at such a high price. And it's so impressive that it only took you about one and a half a months!! So cool

[@creativehorsequeen]

I agree. She killed a sewing machine in the process so she is more than entitled to charge that amount

[@snowecaddel9454]

I’m sad she didn’t. If this was for me, I would’ve understood. This dress was crazy expensive to make.

[@aman-.-]

there’s something so magical about seeing this skirt spin, it’s so exciting 🥺

[@kkaylee.larson]

i wish i could sew!! I have been obsessed with this dress ever since i saw it!!

[@maliaisout]

Same. But my mum and grandma sews

[@fairyda1186]

Sewing is nothing you have to be born with, like singing, you just have to work hard. If its your dream to sew, you can be as good as she is one time.

[@juliasews]

This is so good you’re so talented,could you do a corset KZbin Tutorial?🌸

Thank you!!!

[@itz_moonwolf1480]

This has to be the second best recreation of the dress i’ve seen (nothing can top bella mae’s recreation tho, she even used yumissima so like).

[@렌렌-q8w]

True but both are very beautiful!

[@itz_moonwolf1480]

@@렌렌-q8w agreed, this is definitely more realistic for a low budget person to make. She did amazingly well for her budget

[@Cheeseooo]

I think both look just like the one in the movie! I honestly can’t pick!

[@ladylibertywdc8324]

Bella Mae's fabric choice of the lavender accent in underskirt was a miss- too dark- IMHO. This one flawlessly pretty.

[@missenchanted17]

Your dress is stunning! You should be so proud of yourself for creating this, and not just at the end result but also the entire process! 😊 I would never be able to make something like this, let alone sew a piece of clothing, but you inspire people to go after their dreams and I really appreciate that. ❤️

[@mathildarose8207]

You have put all my thoughts into words! 😊Thank you

[@artraft3669]

Never feel uncomfortable to charge what you deserve. 1st- you worked so many hours on this. 2nd- it took you years to learn to get to the level you are sewing now. 3rd- sewing like this is not a common talent, you should charge extra for your unique talents too.

[@wylenecarroll8181]

I love when she was spinning in slow motion, the ruffles at the bottom had three different colors. And it looked amazing. I really love this and the fishing line idea. I love how you're learning as you go. I plan on making a dress like this too. Thank you for your tutorial. ❣

[@luciabreccia1901]

The iridescent fabric underneath looks SO GOOD, I can tell it's one of those dresses that don't translate well on camera but that are gorgeous in real life. Good job!

[@jasminewall577]

This screams talent! As a seamstress, I can tell that you have done such a challenging project with impressive results! Good job and thank you for sharing!

[@bardnightingale]

Thank you so much for breaking down the price. It always amazes me how often acquaintances think home sewn items are cheaper and don't calculate the hours put into it. Oh and $15/hour would be a close friend/family discount. Amazing ... it looked just amazing

[@amandaparry9696]

I love that even though it may not be 100% movie accurate, it’s still definitely recognizable and looks stunning. I also like that you didn’t let the haters get to your head:)

[@_Yan_yan_yan]

the level of skill you have at such a young age is amazing. the dress looks absolutely gorgeous i love how you included progress shots of twirling/running in the dress too!

[@malubrunetto]

I think this is one of the most beautiful dresses in the Disney's live actions, it was amazing 💙💙

[@ih8frenchcheese]

so refreshing to see a youtuber making a beautiful gown without a designated "sewing room" like others 😅 i can relate to sewing on my dining table hahaha you've done such an amazing job and i'm so impressed by the quality of the dress!!! it's so accurate to the film which i really really love, you are so talented, thank you for this video !!! 🥰

[@Dev-qz3zh]

The way the skirt swishes around, the layer of all those frills are all just wow 😍

[@MsAmeriCanadian]

The color is perfect. You did a great job with the shape and keeping the smoothness of the bodice as well.

[@BoatsArtsPolitics]

You did yourself proud. Understand that almost nobody can do what you did in creating that ball gown. There are people who would pay $10,000 for it just for a prom dress. Your labor is valuable, especially because you are making an hierloom.

[@susanh.352]

Your a very talented young lady. The dresses you create and sew are beautiful. Thank you for sharing.

[@pukkuncheekin4370]

Absolutely incredible!!! I would EASILY pay $4000 to have this made in ivory to wear as my wedding dress.

[@zeinaelarja]

Everything on camera or online looks different, the people commenting about that on your social media clearly don’t notice that, your dress is amazing and the fact that you did the butterflies yourself is very impressing, I hope you become a really well known designer in the upcoming years ♥️♥️♥️

[@MarlynMonroefan]

Sweetheart this HAUTE COUTURE! You handmade butterflies out of fabric!

[@AngelavengerL]

wow, so beautiful! I love the reveal at the end where you spin and spin and jump. Getting to see its maximum swooshyness along with the peeps of iridescent ruffles from underneath. Totally magical!

[@murrayb1969]

This is so beautiful! I think you did an incredible job recreating her dress, and being just one person finishing such a difficult project is even more impressive

[@AzaleighHunt]

girl, you are amazing. you can do anything you put your mind to. your dress looks amazing and is very wonderfully exicuted! BRAVO Alexandra Louise!

[@elastingirl]

The dress is gorgeous! Such a long process, too, that's what is called determination and sticking with it. ♡

[@susanc1179]

The dress is gorgeous! The butterflies are amazing!

[@timebomb4562]

it looks so pretty and my hat goes off to you for the sheer amount of effort that went into this

[@liv97497]

This looks so beautiful! And you're right about the color - they darkened the dress in post production. If you look at any footage from deleted scenes or bloopers, you'll see that the unedited footage shows the light blue dress. I do love the dark blue, but I think this is much closer to the original dress! P.S.: as a fellow creative who makes things for a living, don't be afraid to value your time and skill! I know said you wouldn't commission this dress, but with the amount of knowledge and work that this must've taken, a person should be paid well, and if it's expensive, it's because there's a lot of work involved. Don't undersell yourself!

[@deveranch23]

It's so beautiful and puffy. Your very talented.

[@annbrookens945]

It came out beautifully! This live-action Cinderella dress is my favorite movie dress of all time and you made a lovely copy! BTW, your sewing time is ABSOLUTELY worth a MINIMUM of $20/hour!

[@crystala5033]

So beautiful! You should feel so good about how it came out.

[@rowanjoy419]

I am here just to say, that the actual dress is something between a grayish blue or a pale purple almost look silver like the original dress. But in the movie the thought it would get more attention if the color was stronger so they put an effect to make it look darker or vibrant.

[@sewlittlemouse6365]

We have very similar sewing techniques…“Just go for it and hope for the best.” and I would say it works out the majority of the time. ❤️

I am stunned with the amount of work you and other people put into recreating the dresses from the movies. For a movie an entire team works on one dress for many days, if not weeks. They use pro equipment, which is way faster than simpler sewing machines for home. And you are doing it all by yourself!❤️

I love your sewing, it is very properly made as in sewing techniques I am a beginner but I know this takes a lot of work and patients, especially when it comes to dye fabrics, and making the puffy skirt.
