This Princess Buttercup costume is a faithful replica from the original movie. Stills of the original costume were studied for the exacting details seen in this costume including slopes of the seams, composition, and construction. The only details that were changed were to align the skirt and bodice pleats (as they were mismatched in the original costume) and to actually hem the dress as the original was never hemmed due to a short time frame prior to production.

The dress is made from a polyester woven in an orangy red. The bodice is fully lined and top stitched for beautiful detailing. It has a short collar that curves up the neck and splices down into a v in the back. There are two princess seams in the sides and the front has pleats just under the bust. The skirt is plenty full with pleats all the way around and aligning with the bodice pleats in the front. The bodice slopes into the underbust in the front and then down at the waist in the back. Although in the pictures the hem puddles on the ground, it is made to be floor length on a real person (mannequin was short). The back is decorated with red eyelets which have all been hand stitched with matching red thread to be more "period accurate" but also as reinforcement.

The sleeves are the real focus of this dress and what turns it from being simplistic into rich in detail. The sleeves start very fitted at the top of the arm and then drape down into a billowing amount of fabric at the wrist. All the fullness is then hand stitched into cartridge pleats and then attached to the outside of the cuff. This is a particular detail we studied from the original film that was too gorgeous to be left out  the back of the bodice and laced up with red leather cording.
