Confession. This was supposed to be my week one winter wonderland look. I was planning on making Anna Kendrick's outfit from the opening scene of Pitch Perfect (and it would've been perfect). But this winter wonderland look was starting to look way too similar to Elsa's dress so I moved it to this week.
In case you haven't seen the movie, here's Elsa's dress:

The dress is a modification of the Bimaa Sweater pattern. I redrew the neckline and didn't add the cuffs to the sleeves. I then cut the bodice into a V and added a gathered skirt with tulle overlay. The bejeweled tulle just meets in the middle but doesn't connect, so that the beautiful stretch velvet fabric can be seen.
The top part of the dress is white stretch lace and metallic blue fabric. The bodice is a slight sweetheart with silver piping. I added a shiny brooch to complete the top.
The fun sparkly silver fringe at the waist reminded me of icicles. Perfect for a little ice queen!
I had so much fun making this dress that I've worked up a few more practical Frozen inspired dresses that I will show this week. I'll also share some Frozen inspired crafts. Might as well declare it Frozen week over here! In the meantime, make sure to check out the other movie inspired looks over here.
And a little sneak peek at tomorrow:

yes, I love all that tulle for dramatic effect! but I'll probably have to trim it down a little bit...
DeleteI can't wait until my girl is old enough to sit through a whole movie haha. This one looks so good and all my friends with older kids have been in love with it. Your dress is so good! Really smart to make the cape a separate so it doesn't get caught on all the furniture. :)
ReplyDeleteWe just saw this movie yesterday, and loved it! And I love your Elsa inspired dress! I never would have guessed it started with a Bimma. That's a good pattern for you, versatile and can be changed many other ways!
ReplyDeleteSo pretty! I love your fabric choices and love that it can be worn to anywhere. Your girl must have so much fun with that long cape! I cannot wait to see your Anna dress, it must make sense for you to make both dresses :) Do your girl argue who is going to wear which dress? :D
ReplyDeleteoohh that turned out lovely! And I can't wait to see tomorrows dress... I also linked up this week... a {movie} star dress! ;o) Emily@nap-timecreations

Lovely dress-up outfit! I haven't seen the movie yet but it is on my list. So many adults are telling me how much they liked the movie!
ReplyDeleteShe looks so happy with her pretty dress.
ReplyDeleteLOVE these! Do you share patterns? I'm a beginner, very much a beginner so I can't come up with anything on my own, no creativity here.
