I sewed the stripes on as shown in the tutorial, but attached the sheer portion before sewing the entire thing into a finished sleeve. I used some sleeve tricks from this other Rapunzel dress tutorial (coordinating with the Pascal tutorial from earlier). I took the basic idea for the bodice construction from the Belle tutorial (because, once again, shirring! Genius!) but added lace detailing at the top and bottom and a couple of ribbon loops for lacing in front. The Rapunzel costume was a combination of many tutorials and as you might guess… sort of (extremely) involved to sew. I also made some quick and easy yellow fingerless gloves, based on this tutorial. I added more width and also planned for and sewed a simple petticoat to go underneath for maximum poof factor. The tutorial was written for a toddler so I knew the skirt wasn’t going to work exactly the same way on a much taller child. What a genius idea for a kid costume – no zippers or buttons and it fits a wide range of sizes. It had so many great ideas, especially the shirring. I couldn’t possibly write enough good things about this tutorial. The Belle costume was sewn almost 100% as written directly from this amazing tutorial for a child’s Belle costume. I took the photo below while the costumes were still in progress so the yellow wrap on the Belle costume wasn’t finished, but this is the best shot of Pascal’s tail, the twirliness of the Rapunzel dress and the major poof in the Belle costume. And lots of photos… because I just couldn’t resist. Instead I’m sharing links where applicable. I didn’t take photos of my process of making the costumes because a) I don’t have time for that sort of stuff these days and b) most of the ideas I used in making the costumes were gathered from other generous bloggers who had shared their completed projects and processes. I stumbled on this tutorial for a Pascal costume (the sidekick iguana from the Disney movie Tangled… if you’re not familiar) and he was instantly sold since Edie was already planning to be Rapunzel from Tangled. The girls were (are) in full on princess obsession mode and each chose their favorite, and Paul wanted to coordinate but was adamant that he wasn’t going to be a prince. It’s the time of year where I start to think about sewing Halloween costumes for the kids and in between frantically searching “Elsa ice queen costume” and “Anna jumper tutorial” I suddenly realized that I never shared photos of the costumes that I made for them last year.
