Construction Details

Esmeralda
Under skirt is silk, overskirt is can be chiffon or organza, anything coloured but translucent, really. Bead trimming is gold medallions. Corset piece is boned. The off-the-shoulder ruffles aren't technically ruffles, rather they're poofed and wrapped under and sewn at a single seam. There are ruffles underneath however, and lace trimming.

Merida
A bit of a challenge as I don't envision Merida doing 'pretty'. I went for something Celtic inspired, with plenty of room for mobility, because Merida would appreciate it The lower skirt panel is actually in four parts: centre, two sides and back, to allow the slits up the front parts. These are cut in light silks and (of course) ombre dyed. The 'armor' shoulder pads fit neatly over the shoulder and can be made either from embossed leather or worbla foam. Bodice is embroidered with thread (alternatively you could try flocking paint), while the belt-like additions are embroidered with beads. I envision the bodice being constructed of something similar to velvet. This is probably the dress with the most work!

Snow White
Ah, Snow White. Why must your dress be so similar in design to Ariel's human dress? Nevermind. Lots of bead and sequin embroidery on the sleeves, which are made of strong, translucent material and slit through to form the impression of her puffed sleeves. Skirt and boned bodice are embroidered with thread and small beads. Go wild with her headpiece! She loved flowers.

In other news! I'll be selling postcards of each individual princess just before Christmas. Check back on my profile in a few week's time for more details. And if you want to see how I drew Esmeralda from scratch, check my youtube channel!

I'm planning to cosplay your version of Snow White next year and my best friend just decided to do Meg~
They're all just so stunningly beautiful (#>w<#)
(I already hate myself for that choice, because I have no idea how to make the dress :'D)Β

ArashiCZ [2016-01-11 12:07:50 +0000 UTC]

I love the Merida most, the design is just perfect.
But (this is the funny part) I didn't chose her to cosplay especially because of the movement. As a seamstress I simply can't imagine how to lift up my arms with a tight piece of fabric around my shoulders. And now I read your description about the movement and I can't help but to smile.
I am chosing the costume for cosplay gala ball and in the end I chose Pocahontas because of the mobility.
Do not take this as a harsh critique, the designs overall are my favourite custom versions of Disney princesses (If I had the figure, I'd love to cosplay them all! ). I love your work and I'm looking forward to see another art nouveau characters (as someone from Mucha's homeland I'm happy everytime I see something new from you).

A-M-Stryx [2015-12-24 00:53:02 +0000 UTC]

Velvet fabric concerns me with Merida being an outdoorsy type. I've heard that velvet is a somewhat heavy, stiff, and very non-breathable fabric so she would basically be sweating to death in it. Egyptian cotton that's well made is both breathable and sturdy, which might be a better option for an athletic type like Merida. Velvet would be better suited to Snow White I think since it can be a very costly lΕ­ury material. I love your work. It's nice to see Art Nouveau being brought back into style. Have you done Princess Eilonwy from the Black Cauldron?

LDboy [2015-11-21 22:43:05 +0000 UTC]

Even more lovely ladies!
Esmeraldas dress is the least changed in appearance but still has that art nouveau look to it.
Merida won't be popping any seams in this dress anytime soon. Practical and yet a dress worthy of a princess. I do love those Celtic influences as well.
Snow Whites just screams flower field. The poofy sleeves are a huge improvement over the original.

You got Snow White's sweetheart personality and princess style to a point! The sleeves are so ethereal! and Esmeralda is looking so cool and fluid-y. I feeel like Merida's dress is a little tight at the hips for running and riding and swordplay stances but everything else is perf, she looks adorable!
