I'm posting a lot today. I was digging through old hard-drives trying to find some missing pictures last night when I came across some pics of a project that did not get finished. I'm sharing it today with Chase's permission. Back in 2012 when I was making my newer Belle ballgown, you can find mentions and photos of the new Beast costume Chase was making to match. I think the last ...
I thought I'd go a little more in-depth on our Hocus Pocus costumes than I did on my construction page.

Sorry I haven't posted about Dragoncon yet! I'll have a big post ready to go this weekend. In the meantime - As close as we could get to recreating my 2005 Belle pic -- they've remodeled the stairs and the angle isn't quite right, but I still like seeing the two together :)
Everything else is packed, now to get Belle packed up and we're ready to go...
