Description Thanks for the title idea. This cosplay is one that took me far longer than I wanted it to and it was only through sheer force of will I finished it when I did. I wanted to get pictures of it at this location (A cathedral in a French neighborhood) but it's all outdoor and October in Winnipeg isn't usually very nice.

Costume and hair were done by me
Modeled by me

Well if you ever need I take commissions, I just need a fair bot of notice since you aren't local. And good for you, my early cosplays weren't that good because I lacked a lot of the skills. I learned a lot in 6 years though.

Thank you, it's been worn three times and only just needs to be fixed now because someone stepped on me and pulled some of the gathering in the back.

Normally I hate it, when people cosplay Belle with a golden dress instead of a yellow dress, but I kinda like this one :3
Maybe because you still used different shades of gold instead of just one. That's what makes the dress look great, even though it's not yellow <3
The sewing looks very neat and it looks very nice on you <3

I really love the way you did the skirt, looks perfect
Keep it up!

inaligrimalkin In reply to Rayi-kun [2011-05-22 22:30:39 +0000 UTC]

yay thank you! The skirt is my favourite part, I did that by hand to get it gathering the way I liked, need to do a few touch ups on it though for when I wear it to the convention.

Just out of curiosity what might a Belle dress run price-wise? Just kind of playing around with figures to decide if I want to make or buy my gown

Oh My Gods! You cosplay?? You sew! This is beautiful! You make a very lovely Belle costume! I don't want to know how long it took to make that. My Gods, I wouldn't even know where to begin!

I Love viewing cosplays. but unfortunately, I can't sew and I think I look horrible when I cosplay. (I did it once... but the costume has since been ruined... )

inaligrimalkin In reply to Gentlewolf [2010-12-05 02:16:59 +0000 UTC]

Yeah my mom taught me the basics when I was little and I had an awesoem teach for 4 years who taught me some of the best things I ever learned. the rest is self taught through trial and error and reading tutorials. Maybe you just haven't found the right characters yet. My first couple cosplays were bad cause the characters didn't suit me at all. We shall not speak of them

Gentlewolf In reply to inaligrimalkin [2010-12-05 07:37:12 +0000 UTC]

I never took an interest in sewing when I was little. I was a real tomboy and shyed away from girly things like sewing and cooking... (Though I can honestly say that I do know how to cook and bake) I'll admit that I've sewn a few things, but nothing major, and I can never remember how to thread the machine.

I think the only cosplay that would look goo on me "MIGHT" be ...... shit, what was her name????? I JUST thought of it, and then it slipped my mind! it's a Naruto character...female, older.... becomes the 5th hokage, I think..... snail girl... shit what was her name! I keep wanting to say Temari, because she's one of my favorites, but that's not her! *bang's head on table* I'm not a huge naruto fan, either.... hmmmm...

TSUNADE! .... I think....

inaligrimalkin In reply to Gentlewolf [2010-12-05 16:48:49 +0000 UTC]

I was too, the only girly hings I d was sewing and playing with dolls. All my friends were boys these things had to be done alone. With friends I would wear my parents' military face paint and crawl around in fields or I'd play power rangers and stuff like that. I ad never even met another female my age until I was in kindergarten.

Lol, I wish I could help but I don't watch Naurto, I know who the main characters are and some of their back story because my brother likes it but that's it.

I didn't have any friends until I was in 4th grade... other then that I played with the woman's grandkids across the street, but they were younger then me. unfortunately, I'm an only child...I didn't play with dolls much, and I hated barbies, but I did play with my little ponys a lot. but I loved climbing trees. I didn't get outside much, though... long story. but I would have probably done a lot of running.

I watched Naruto a couple of years ago... I haven't seen any of the recent episodes, though. I've caught some of the recent manga, but not enough to understand what in the hell is going on.

Ah, well can't be helped. You seem to have turned out fine regardless.

Yeah I figure, I just avoid it cause I know I'll just get confused.

I was going to suggest "Belle of the Ball". But depending on how tired you are I could get hurt.
You've done a wonderful job on the costume. That was a lot of satin to gather, oi! And how did you get gloves to match the fabric?! Great find there.

inaligrimalkin In reply to wndyeliza [2010-10-03 14:41:39 +0000 UTC]

I bought the gloves on ebay along with the hoop skirt and just prayed they'd match at least one of the gold colours I picked. I was hoping they'd match the lighter colour but I'm happy i got gold gloves, I hate it when people use white. And yeah it was tons of sating, I would get lost in it, that's part of why it took so long
