I&#8217;m in the midst of my next costume&#8230; which is my dream costume, Belle&#8217;s yellow ball-gown from Disney&#8217;s Beauty and the Beast. Beauty and the Beast is a big part of why I got into animation and I&#8217;ve always loved the fairytale and I love Belle&#8217;s costumes. When my dad took me to New York to look at art colleges when I was in high-school, we went to see the original cast Broadway Beauty and the Beast together and I loved THOSE versions of the costume, too.<\/p>\n<p>I waited a long time to start this costume, but now it&#8217;s time! I&#8217;m shooting to have this done by early March. I bought the fabric in early Jan. Wish me luck!<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s another image of Belle from the Broadway show.<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/aimeemajor.com\/wp\/wp-content\/gallery\/belleballgown\/belleinspi2.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p>The fabric! So much fun to be able to buy fabric like this, it&#8217;s the kind of super fancy stuff that one never has the use for.<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/aimeemajor.com\/wp\/wp-content\/gallery\/belleballgown\/bellefabric.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p>Jan 23rd, first muslin.<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/aimeemajor.com\/wp\/wp-content\/gallery\/belleballgown\/belle1.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p>Jan 24th, fabric layers starting to come together!
