A costume 6 months in the making and finally ready to Debut for Halloween! Belle from Beauty and the Beast!

This costume was a dream to create and a beast as well. I wasn't really sure if I was ready to tackle this thing so early in my sewing career and didn't quite know if I was skilled enough to pull it off. But I've found through the process that I learn quickly and adapt when needed to make something work. Through much struggle, frustration, and beeming success the costume is complete, and Might I say with no help from others!! This was also my first time styling a wig and for those of you who have seen Belle in the parks, you'll notice the wig very closely resembles hers. It was a challenge but a rewarding one to put it all together!!
