| Giselle's Wedding Dress based on Disney's Enchanted $1200
This dress began its life as three
wedding gowns, yards and yards of crystal organza, a six-hooped underskirt,
white feathers and lots of metallic paint. It's a beautiful recreation of the
gown from the movie, but a bit more wearable. It is full and layered with
ruffles, but not nearly as full as the movie gown. While I wanted it to truly
represent the movie version, I wanted it to be wearable and comfortable. The
movie version actually had TWO hoop skirts underneath it! While beautiful for a
film, not quite wearable for a costume party.
The Bodice The bodice of this gown
is embroidered and beaded with a flowering vine motif. The beautifully scooped
neckline is adorned with a butterfly. I made the butterfly's wings with
carefully cut and sculpted feathers and then carefully painted them with
shimmering metallic silvers and golds. The body is crystal organza and his
antenna are curled sterling silver jewelry wire. There are two satin rose buds
over the right hip and another small delicate feather butterfly sits atop
one.
The Skirt The skirt of this gown
begins with a lining of heavy bridal satin. Over that is one layer of heavy
netting and five layers of tulle. The left side of the skirt
features twenty rows of hand sewn, bias-cut ruffles made of crystal organza.
Several rows of ruffles have been sprayed with glitter to create a beautiful
sheen and depth.
The right side of the skirt is draped
with heavy bridal satin that sweeps over the organza ruffles. The satin has then
been hand painted with crystalline, silvers and golds to emulate embroidery. The
patterns are swirling vines and florals which are very similar to the movie
version.
