Historically Accurate Corpse Bride??????

I was planning my Halloween content and before I started I said I was not going to do a face paint cosplay . . . and then I watched the Corpse Bride again and did it anyway.
WHY The Corpse Bride? I started watching the movie and kept thinking "ok? But what if Emily was wearing a historical wedding dress?"
Let's assume based on Victoria's sleeves the film takes place in 1890 and Emily has been under the tree for “8 or 9 years”. Based on that we can pinpoint Emily’s wedding Dress as being late 70s / Early 80s which means BUSTLE TIME.
I started off by making a plain Victorian dress using my favorite easy to use patterns with a few alterations to look closer to what I imagined:
Truly Victorian bodice TV462 - 1883 Tail Bodice
: trulyvictorian.info/index.php...
Truly Victorian Skirt TV263 - 1887 Imperial Skirt:
trulyvictorian.info/index.php...
A HUGE thanks to my mom for helping me with this project. I’ve never painted anything like this and since my mom use to be a commercial artist it was a cool learning experience to have!
I still think the makeup turned out rubbish but I wound up having an allergic reaction and had to cheat my way into making a blue face paint that didn’t cause a rash. Lesson learned: I don’t look good as a blueberry.
Small note about the filming location: The best part of living rurally is that you can always ask around and someone will know someone that has a family graveyard and is excited to let you in the gate to shoot photos and videos. Everything was done respectfully, the concept was explained fully, and done with full permission.

My face when you went at the lace with a cheese grater: 😲 This is so good though! I love how you did the ribs :D

[@trice1245]

Watching you make the modifications was very hard to watch 😫 but of course it came out beautifully!

Tim Burton Fans: 💵 When Where Where was this for Halloween, This is very good 👍🏻 For a minute I thought they were making a corpse bride live action. Cause that dress is tooooooo realistic. Still love it 💖

[@louisebrown3121]

It was a beautiful dress but when you finished it was an amazing costume! I love it

[@AstaDarling]

Thank you so much!

[@margisshenanigans11]

Love it love it love it!!!!! The cheese grater is a powerful tool- and you, my friend, have the power to use it.😂 i would be terrified lol

[@princessmarlena1359]

Ow that is AWESOME! Emily is one of my favorite fantasy horror Tim Burton characters. Also I love that lobster tail, I’d like to have a red one.

[@Hevendemo]

I feel like if she had an original dress itd look like that but through wear and tear of the seasons and roughness she endured she ended up with the one in the movie. This is so gooood

[@lauragreen7065]

I LOVE seeing your short videos and now its longer

[@ondreacounts2556]

Woah! You are very talented. I've never wanted to dress up in 1850's through 1900's fashion until I seen your channel & now I have to at least once in my life do that now. Thank you for inspiring me.

This is amazing! Thank you for sharing it with us. One suggestion, I had my speakers turned all the way up and your voice was still soft. I don't know if you are using a separate mic or not.

[@AstaDarling]

😅😅😅 I just bought a microphone after editing this because I noticed the same problem!!! Sorry about that 🥹

[@jjenna9217]

@@AstaDarling no need for apology, didn't even think about you realizing it during editing.

Very cool video, but your audio wasn't good! Too low & variable. Hope you get it fixed because I LOVE YOUR CONTENT!😐😍 Loved the dress before mutation, too!

[@PinoyAznLee]

Wait ahh 2nd video I'm watching and I love your content. I'm using a smartphone to watch your video and the initial audio is very low. Is anyone else having this issue?
