Halloween Customes, Part II: Princess and the Frog Dress

Ever since Isabella watched the movie Princess and the Frog, she could not talk about anything else but Tiana, she just loves her, and I have to say that out of all the Disney Princesses , she is my favorite, because she is not really royalty, she is a working lady with a dream, who happens to meet the right person at the right time and is humbled enough to go with it. Isabella wanted to be her since that moment. My husband got her the baby doll of Tiana for her birthday.

Here are the two princesses!! 

This dress was quite the challenge. the front is one yellow and one green blouse. Same with the skirt, basically is like sewing a dress over another dress. It was all new for me, it is probably something basic for experienced seamstresses.

I made three leaves for each sleeve. I made the flower with shiny, transparent ribbon with a little white ribbon flower in the middle, like the ones for my hats.                                                                                                                                                                    

I think the part that was hard was the fact that Isabella is so tiny, I had to resized the smallest patterns and still the dress is loose on her. I started on Wednesday 27 at 9:00 p.m. and finished on Thursday 28 at 1:00 a.m.

Anyway, she loves it!! even if nobody, not even one person knew who she was when we were trick or treating, sad!! I enjoyed so much making these customes for my girls!!
