Since britbrat18 put a bug in my ear about my new American Model Vintage looking so much like the girl who plays Belle/Lacey in ABC's 'Once Upon A Time,' I had to make her one of Belle's outfits. I chose this one from the Enchanted Forest world:
Here's my version:
I used two different Designs By Jude patterns for the blouse and the corset vest and I made up the skirt by myself. Blouse chiffon and lace from local fabric stores, ribbon trims from Walmart & the blue rayon jacquard is a recycled dress from the Salvation Army that didn't fit me properly. The eyelets were pure hell, but I think they came out fine. She's wearing her original pink slippers because I can't find the right maryjanes for her (nor can I afford them at the moment!) and I didn't bother with a slip, but maybe in the future.
Her little basket came from the Salvation Army too and I made her the book. It has pictures inside too, mostly of her love, Rumplestiltskin.
Yeah, she's going to be wearing this for a while now. Woots!
