Sometimes you get to choose the time period of your project and sometimes it chooses you.
When I saw the trend among my fellow Costuming YouTubers of doing historically inspired Disney costumes I lept at the chance. I've had this idea for a Belle dress floating around in my head for a few months now and was excited to bring it to life.
This Rococo/Marie Antoinette dress knew what it wanted to be, but I didn't want to put forth the effort to make an entirely new set of foundation garments for just one outfit. So, I took the historically inspired route. Shortening the hem, using modern seam lines and completely neglecting to pad out the hips in the fashionable shape of the time were just some of the conscious design choices I made.
I hope you all love this dress as much as I do.

Breathtaking! I immediately thought of the Queen in the Bridgerton series. Love the detailing.
