Making Elsa's Skirt from Frozen 2

[@GingerGeekGirl]

I really love and respect how honest you were about your struggles with this skirt. It really helps hearing you talk through why you made the decisions you did, and what made you want to do some things differently.

Also I'm in love with that tiny iron, I need one that size!!

[@CaseyReneeCosplay]

Aww thank you so much, I was really nervous to share my struggles because it often turns people away but it's hard making art while also painting a healthy picture of what it's like to create. It is all not rainbows and sunshine 100% of the time and if we make mistakes its better to share them so that others don't repeat them. Also, the mini iron is a game changer for me!

Love that ombre though!!

[@CaseyReneeCosplay]

Thank you love, it was my first attempt, I'm as afraid of it as before but I'm still a bit timid.

I have always been terrified of dip dyeing fabric for some reason...I also feel that struggle HARD when you want to remake a part that is already at the point of no return >< you still did an incredible job and look SO gorgeous in this cosplay!

[@CaseyReneeCosplay]

Thank you so much love, I really like this costume and I still might remake the skirt someday but for now I am just going to keep it as is.

This is beautiful! How long did the whole thing take you/cost?

[@CaseyReneeCosplay]

It took me over 150 over about 6 weeks and as for cost, it's incredibly difficult for me to calculate that since I don't just buy everything at once, I typically buy materials 2-3 months before I start a project and sometimes even 6 or more months before, sometimes I pull items like rhinestones and beads from my stash and some times in the middle of a project I have to purchase more materials.
