I made Lottie’s Dress from Princess and the Frog in Real Life!

[@BJ_Freeplay]

Never underestimate the power of bum and hip pads when you need a skirt to maintain a certain shape. The pannier style of boning could have potentially helped in giving some inspiration for your design, some of those ladies wanted their hips WIDE. BUT Regardless! You fought your way into a very fun end result

[@AnniCarlsson]

Amd those can be layered to

[@crescentshay]

looking back I def should have looked into more historical styles!! panniers would've been PERFECT!!

[@hollyerin897]

Came to say panniers too!

[@alanissophiaortizrivero3320]

Hi😊​@@crescentshay

[@michaelgarro227]

​@@crescentshaylove the gown you look so very beautiful and very gorgeous

[@ranbooautism]

i think adding hip pads or following a 1700s skirt tutorial couldve made the skirt better only cuz her dress is a mix of both 1700s and 1920s with the drop waist, square bustle, and open neckline!

The design was actually inspired by the 20s high fashion that was inspired by rococo including side hoops or just very puffy exaggerated dropped hips

[@shawpaperiekas600]

Literally came here to say the same thing. Lol!

[@darlingcat]

Pannier Petticoat / Bustle Cages

[@MrsBrit1]

Yes, she definitely had pocket hoops...it's not just a big round dress. This is absolutely late 1700s court gown shape.

[@samanthagirly3350]

Thought the same thing! I was like GIrL you can get SO much more volume. Look what they did in the past lol

[@melodiesblue]

ITS SO PINK I LOVE IT!!!!!!! although i would have looked into using panniers for the skirt, they hold the sides out really well and give that sort of rectangle-ish shape that looties skirt has :) (and they could get HUGE, Marie Antoinette had some big ones)

yeah you can buy things and slightly modify it or just buy it and then yea! i am making a halloween costume of my old witch oc and im making the witch hat from eva foam and made the staff from a wrapping paper tube and wire. i bought the shirt and skurt from shein and dyed it purple so yea u can be lazy as possible lol

[@clairewulf]

thee dream dress!!! when i saw the animation i thought that lottie was wearing panniers instead of a hoop skirt

[@TehTeh911]

Lottie clearly is wearing panniers, i just think she missed that detail.

[@ava4689]

I googled what those are now, and now my desire for max volume can be further explored. Thanks.

[@clairewulf]

@@ava4689 no worries, champ

[@jesuisgourde]

I feel like panniers could have also helped with even more poof, at least in the side-regions, since panniers make a skirt wider to the sides. I'm not sure if that would do much if she wanted to get the same volume of poof around the whole skirt, though.

[@edeemitheippin3876]

The whole video I was shouting panniers!!!

[@ayayalgueewe9361]

15:52 the way she runs omfg perfect 😂

[@PrincessSakurasSideshow]

You know, I really appreciate how much confidence you have in figuring things out yourself as you go. As someone who nearly gave up sewing altogether due to constantly being told "your seams aren't perfect enough" or "you made one little mistake here so the whole thing is bad", it's refreshing to see someone so happy with a simular mindset to me. So long as you like the way it looks it doesn't matter how you get there!

[@Littlejem]

This turned out amazing! 😍

[@BrigitV618]

I think what you really need for Lottie's dress, more so than a hoopskirt, is a grand pannier. They definitely had some super big ones back in the 1700s! And her dress is def more rectangle than circle: wider at the sides than it is at front and back

[@Midge5184]

I wonder if Shay thought of adding in a drum farthingale or French farthingale, and possibly bumb roll or pads, to help with the poof and supporting the weight.

[@natashahenriquez6417]

She didn’t do her research. Maybe next time she will 😅 I hope she reads your comment for the next gigantic dress she makes 🩷

[@BobCrochets]

@@natashahenriquez6417 I would love to see her collab with some of the dress historians.

[@crescentshay]

I did not 😅😅 honestly for this dress my brain was stuck in costume mode rather than historical mode so i forgot about ALL the other skirt support systems - I was just thinking princess dress so I went with a straight hoopskirt! 😅

[@SandraOrtmann1976]

Wow, what a dress! I just thought if this floor-length hoop skirt had also vertical support, you could basically use it as a support and maybe even doze off a little in it...But it sure looks cute and a lot like Lottie.🥰

[@Neverland175]

This turned out so good!!! Everytime Shay makes a dress from a cartoon its like she makes them alive! 💝👑😊

Nailed it as usual! Shay's costumes and makes always hit a 10 out of 10 from an onlookers perspective!

Hip buckets might've been a better structure shape to then layer with petticoats. You got the proportions though and that's the hardest part!

I love Lottie so much. She is amazing. I have found myself loving hyperfeminity with not as feminine characters so Tiana and Lottie are my FAVOURITE pairing

[@UnicorNE0N]

This was so unbelievably cute!! I definitely agree with the other comments that panniers would probably be a lot easier or perhaps adding vertical support to the hoop. I also think adding some horsehair to the hem of the actual dress would prevent the edges of the soft satin from getting dragged under the hoop like it did when you were moving around. I respect the reuse of your old project. That pink tulle was perfect!

Hot glue use is so real. Looks great! Very impressive make 🎉

[@madebymaryssa]

You did a great job on this dress and your friend did a great job on the wig. The social distancing dress was an excellent source to recycle into a Lottie petticoat! The clip of the clothes racks during the ad segment looked like the door storage scenes in 'Monsters Inc'. I wonder if panniers or a bustle would help with the understructure? The dress looks like it floofs out to the side and back more than in the front. Something I've seen once, I think as a costume not a historical gown, was a central hoop skirt with three 'columns' of hoops around it, on the sides and back. Of course, as seen when Lottie gets knocked over after Frog!Naveen and Tiana get chased through the party, she *is* canonically wearing a hoop skirt, not multiple pieces.

[@cover_mystic545]

I love the fact that you had actual first hand experience with making a hoop skirt so big that nobody has tried to go for the record of it yet. Like imagine being able to say, yes I’ve made a hoop skirt this size before 😅

[@femalepeterparker]

I have been obsessed with watching your channel! You seem fun and adventurous... I am a self taught sewist, but never had the guts to try to make elaborate dresses like the ones I see you making... I think it would be so cool if you made a "living dress" one made out of plants and vines.... or how about a dress made of bubble wrap? How about a fairy costume made of fiber optics? Or A gown made of roses? A mermaid swimsuit? or a dress that transforms... for example starts as a cocoon, and at a pull of a string becomes a winged butterfly... how about trying your luck at one of those "quick change" dresses, you know the ones that have secret compartments that store a whole new outfit... maybe you could do Sleeping beauty's blue/pink dress or cinderellas dress that transforms from rags to the ball gown... I am so excited to see what you make next!!!!!

[@tracywelch6172]

First of all!!! LOVE YOU !!!!!!! I made a few hook skirts and petticoats in my day. What I learned is.....If you have 6 hoops take hoop 3 and duplicate it. continue to make your hoop skirt.....use hoop 3 as a separate piece and tie that over your hoop skirt. That one extra hoop at the top will take off some of the weigh of the dress. Trust me. I made a hoop skirt out of hula hoops and duck tape.

If you put something like wood at the bottom, it helps to hold that weight. I think that is a historically accurate method.

[@memorian8472]

I think a good idea for the shape you might've been going for is Marie Antoinette's wedding dress. You can see a good example of it in the 2006 film, I also think maybe an even stiffer wire would've helped hold the structure better, so it wouldn't collapse as much. Also check out "18th century pocket hoops" as someone else mentioned, that definitely would give you that rectangular look at the waist. You did an amazing job doing this all yourself, I would've died.

[@azuazu642]

Somegow Lottie give me the vibe of "panier" hoopskirt? Like the ones Marie Antoinette was wearing. I mean: it really have this rectangular shape, and maybe we can use basic round hoopskirt with some paniers to obtain the shape?
