Frozen gown




 After watching the movie Frozen, I knew I had to make Elsa's infamous gown. To make the most of my time I put into it, I'm planning on making a convertible gown so that I can wear it with the traditional sheer sleeves and snowflake encrusted cape, to reveal a sweetheart, floor-length gown with a train. Although I would have liked to maintain greater accuracy with fabric choice, with my limited fabric choices I decided to go with a swirling sequined overlaid on the bodice and meticulously cut and sewed over the length of the skirt of the dress. Check it out!





I added additional strips of teal sequins to the bodice to make it contrast greater against the skirt.

Meticulously cut sequin strips sewn on the skirt of the dress.




The finished product that I wore at Mickey's Halloween Party at Disneyland (with my husband as Olaf).
