I sewed Belle's Blue Dress as an Elizabethan Kirtle! Historybounding? Cosplay? It's cute!

[@FantasticalFolliesCostuming]

Stashbusting historical cosplay that doubles as everyday separates? 100% my favorite thing. Love it!

[@DamesalaMode]

This truly feels like the pinnacle of costuming! It checks all the boxes!

[@jenninstitches]

I have to be honest I have been looking forward to a new video from you! I commented on instagram I have been missing you and here you are! This is so dang cute! It looks like absolute perfection on you. I do so adore when we can get our cosplay that we can then also morph into real life wear as well. The incognito of it all makes it so much more delicious to me.

[@DamesalaMode]

Thank you so much :) :) :)

[@jenniferstocker5462]

Wow! A perfect setting for Belle!

[@DamesalaMode]

You can see why I just had to make it! I couldn't resist!

[@karlaverbeck9413]

Oh that skirt! I love it.

[@DamesalaMode]

Thank you! The twirl was everything I dreamed of!

[@k1tkat-kate]

[@GwydionAE]

This is just so perfect. Totally agree with making it two pieces. Lovely.

[@DamesalaMode]

I'm so glad I did it!

[@Bygone_Wardrobes]

It's super cute! I think making them a separates was a very good choice!

[@DamesalaMode]

I'm so glad I did it! I've already used the skirt a few times!

[@debcarroll8192]

Wow! The dress is perfection, and the chateau setting you filmed in is, too!

[@DamesalaMode]

Thank you! You can see why I just *had* to make this dress!

[@JanealJohnson]

Thank you for sharing the Oops things too. Helps the novice to relate to those of you who seem amazingly skilled

[@DamesalaMode]

Oh of course! I still make mistakes all the time ☺️

[@hannnahm]

Yesss it's so freaking cute.

[@RuailleBuaille]

Beautiful! I love that you explain what you're adjusting and why in the mock-ups and final garment - so helpful!

[@DamesalaMode]

I'm glad it was helpful!

[@BethAge95]

Gosh I love everything about it! The gorgeous fabric, the fact that it's a stashbusting project, the history bounding meets Disney princess aspect, the decision to make it two separate parts and how great you look in it!

[@DamesalaMode]

Thank you! I am so, so happy with this project!

[@terrirobinson3876]

Yay you are back! I have missed your videos. This project was awesome. I can see using this to Disney bound as Belle and be comfortable.

[@DamesalaMode]

Thank you! I have several projects backlogged so hopefully more videos coming soon ☺️

[@thorunns.craftstudio]

i've been wanting to make a bookish Belle costume for quite a while now! this turned out fantastic!

[@DamesalaMode]

Thanks so much!

[@ushere5791]

lovely!!

[@sarahburke8955]

Absolutely smashing ensemble! I'm especially in love with the fit of your bodice, but I can see you getting a lot of wear out of the swooshy skirt. The shirt finishes everything off perfectly 💗

[@DamesalaMode]

Thank you so much!!

[@TealCheetah]

Separates is always a good idea!

[@DamesalaMode]

I'm so glad I did it!

[@makeda6530]

It is adorable! I love calf length separates, I made myself some separates and honestly I love them, I totally need more. Beautiful work, the best kind of closet cosplay~.

[@DamesalaMode]

Thank you! 😊

[@PepperReed214]

I just made this kirtle pattern for the Renaissance Pleasure Faire outside LA. Yours turned out great. Very Disneybounding.

[@DamesalaMode]

It's a great pattern! I am definitely looking forward to doing the real Kirtle now!

[@PepperReed214]

@@DamesalaMode the pointed area at the front was a little challenging to attach the skirt to, but not too bad.

[@amb163]

I've missed your videos so much!! And this one is -- **chef's kiss**! I think I want to make my own, now! I've bookmarked the kirtle pattern :D

[@DamesalaMode]

Thank you! I'm sorry for vanishing - so much going on! This pattern is really good and super simple! I hope you enjoy making it!

[@Yotam1703]

Hello Taylor! Are you planning on making future videos? I really miss your style and skills.

[@DamesalaMode]

Hi and thank you so much! I am hoping to get back to KZbin in the future, but I've been taking some time away from sewing lately. Thank you for remembering me 💕

[@sannabengtsson3044]

What is your third in amongst it What did you buy the sewing pad on

[@DamesalaMode]

I'm sorry I'm not sure I understand this question. What sewing pad are you referring to?

[@denisebennett3144]

You look lovely.

[@DamesalaMode]

Thank you!
