This version of Belle's gown is made with a combination of satins and taffetas for a truly rich and regal touch.
Belle's bodice is made from yellow satin with princess seams giving it nice lines down the front. The collar is a pale yellow taffeta elegantly pleated and stitched over off the shoulder sleeves. The exact brooch shown in the picture is not included but a comparable one will be included with the dress and options will be discussed with you at time of order. The bodice is attached to the overdrape which is ruched up with cording which is sturdy and will not break (like so may Belle dresses made with gather stitches). The elegant sash is made in matching satin with large taffeta handmade covered buttons. Finally an under skirt in marigold taffeta finishes off the dress. 2-piece dress.

Details
Sometimes looking at other versions online can be deceiving. Here's what makes our costumes different and worth their cost:
1. Structuring within the costume, twill, interfacing, and extra efforts to make sure seams and materials don't unravel. We take the extra step to use all those wonderful tools like interfacing, twill tape, bias tape, and more so that everything is reinforced to last for years.
2. Our skirts do not have elastic waist bands. Some companies or individuals use this to cut time and cost. Our skirts in our costumes have a real waist band with hooks and eyes like a couture fashion garment.
3. We don't skip the modesty panels. When our costumes expand sizing or are adjustable they have modesty panels to cover the skin in both skirts and bodices.
4. We use the finest materials. Bridal satins, velvets, brocades, silks, and more.
5. Our costumes are lined. Not just with cheap lining, we self line which means the outer fabrics and inner fabrics are of the same quality. This helps with longevity and wear on your costume.
6. Design. Design is our strength, we work out the bugs and get you the finest closest version to film, play, movies, and characters. But we also can do budget versions of our costumes if you do need to cut corners.
7. Skills. We have a full in house staff including a complete design and pattern drafting team. All our artwork is created in house, our custom fabrics are made by us and not by outside vendors, we create our own embroidery files, and professional artwork. We have a vast array of skills not found in single person shops to do some of the most complicated costumes on the market executed professionally.
8. Patterning. We have our own in house patterning team. Nothing we create comes from a store bought pattern so you will not see any of our items limited to dress sizes like 2 4 6 8 10 12 14 16. We create each garment to your specific body type (or range of size for performance costumes).
