Once Upon a Time

[Arlette]

Everyone wants to make all these extravagant costumes...and I want to make Belle's prisoner dress. XD

[Shivilow]

I'm too am glad to see a thread for this for I'm now jumping into doing a cosplay from this show which will be my first TV show cosplay. I'm doing the evil queens dress from the pilot episode because I know it will fit my skin tone plus I just love that dress. I'm also in January going to commission someone here on the forums to make the staff from heart of darkness malificants staff. Ooh I can't wait to don on this dress y'all.

Finally officially got stuff for Red! I have fabric for the outer part of her cloak and fabric to make her skirt. I would have gotten a picture but I left it all in my car since I'm going home in a couple days and it would make no sense to bring it up to my room. I'm debating whether I want to line my cloak or not. Maybe not to save money? I paid a LOT for the cloak+skirt fabric...

And one of my other friends wants to be Belle! So I have a group of Belle, Rumple, Snow, and of course me as Red. This is awesome. Although I need to make Rumple's jacket and Belle's whole outfit but that's okay. They're paying for the fabric. ;D

My next project will be Snow's riding outfit from Lady of the Lake.

I didn't think it would be so difficult to find fabric. You'd think white cotton with a diamond design would be ubiquitous in decorator fabric. I ordered a sample of this which I think is close enough:
warehousefabricsinc.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=NINSTW&Store _Code=WFI&search=diamond&offset=180&filter_cat=&Po werSearch_Begin_Only=&sort=&range_low=&range_high=

(You'll need to cut and paste these links. Sorry.)

The sad think is that I have this urge to sew but we're moving. All of my sewing stuff is packed. I only started fabric hunting as stress relief. (Feeding baby "Emma" leaves me stuck on the sofa for a few hours a day.) Do I buy this now or risk
Finding something better later
The price going up
It being unavailable
Buying it and losing it in the move

hey guys, are there any highres images of Belle's blue dress?

EDIT: Never mind I found! http://www.homeofthenutty.com/scifi/...bum=101&page=2

^Good find! That's going to help me a lot for my friend's Belle dress. ^_^

Is anyone here using Simplicity 5794 for Red's cloak? I'm so confused by the pattern. >_< I don't know why there's a cape front and a cape back part and why it is asking for each piece to be cut out twice. How is this supposed to be sewn together? 0_o

Aimee, I love you forever! That site is going to come in extremely handy for my Bandit Snow costume!!~

Ha. I found it. The fabric for Snow's Riding doublet is Robert Allen Diamond Tuft. Once I had the name and searched on that I realized it had come up before many times. However it was so poorly photographed that I couldn't see the pattern. It comes in both white and natural and I guess the white would work better. There is even a local place that has it.

Touchmon - I've not used that pattern but I've made many cloaks. I think they have a cape front piece so that you end up with a seam you can leave open a little so hands can stick out. One of my cloaks when spread out flat is three fourths 3/4 of a circle. The cloak back is a half circle (the fabric is wide enough for this) and the two front pieces are each a 1/8 pie piece. You may be able to cut you back piece on a fold and have one less seam to sew.

Finished most of the belle costume. And by that I mean my husband and I. We still have to put the brown trim on the bodice but I am very proud of myself. Yet the bodice tends to bunch up a lot...Need to find a way to fix that.

Very cute!!

Does the bodice have any boning in it? A light plastic boning (easy to get and inexpensive) would keep it from bunching up.

[StuckOnAsgard]

It does in the front but not in the back. It's also very tight...Not at all what I wanted them to be.

I'm joining the craziness! Ever since this show started airing, I've been dying to make one of the costumes--they are all gorgeous. For a LONG time I wanted to try my hand at Red's cloak.... but when the Queen of Hearts dress showed up, that was it.

I purchased the fabric this past week and will be working on this for Katsucon--will any other OUaT costumers be there?

Yes, there will be a group of us at Katsu! Saturday during the early afternoon, if you're interested! We want to get some photos at the pirate ship.

Dang it. 0= I was thinking about attempting to go to Katsucon but it's not going to happen. >_< Oh well. Maybe next year.
