To conclude the Disney PRINCESS “take 2″  / repeats, we sewed another “Belle dress.” During our first “Sewing for Disney”, Belle stole the show {for us, at least}! We LOVED the thought process of creating the titles of books that accented the Oliver + S, Ice Cream Dress.

This time, instead of EA, CL requested a “Belle dress” in her “top 5″ list. We REALLY, REALLY, REALLY wanted to make an exact replica of the original, but opted to use the same design – but with a different pattern, and using different colors.

The verdict? We liked our first interpretation better than this one.

We sewed a Children’s Corner, Jacqueline in a size 7 – opting to use blue as the main fabric. Sort of like Belle’s original outfit from the movie . . .not her classic, yellow one.

Then, we added the same book details as last time, using our friend – heat n’ bond {affiliate link}.

The Last Petal

Beauty and the Beast

The West Wing

Grey Matter . . .you know . . .

Overall, this dress was too large for CL.

Comfy . . .but, big!

Don’t despair – this is only the beginning of our latest “Sewing for Disney”.

In fact, our next post will feature a repeat of CL’s FAVORITE Disney outfit of the last trip . . . only sewn with slight color variations {she even picked the fabric out for it}.

Do you recall what she loved?? HINT: she was in RARE form for those photos {as well as in the ones to come}.

Still makes us chuckle.
