I’m about to start a Sleeping Beauty cosplay but I can’t find a good pattern for her outfit. Any help?
hello!
I’m assuming you want to cosplay as the classic Disney Sleeping Beauty in a pink/blue dress, since you didn’t specify.
The hardest parts of this pattern to find are the bodice and neckline. If you can’t find an all-in-one pattern (there seem to be a lot of kids’ sizes, but maybe you don’t find adult sizes), you’ll need to piece it together.
Luckily, skirts and petticoats feature the simplest of all patterns: the circle skirt. What I want to say is that Aurora’s skirt is a single full circle skirt, so it sweeps 360 degrees. Luckily, this is the easiest type of circle to calculate, and here’s a calculator to help you with it.
The pointed part appears to be just a covering for the top of the skirt:
For a bodice, you need a princess seam and a center front seam, but in order to get the unique V shape of the bodice, you have to make sure that the lines don’t run equidistantly down the bodice, but instead run inward toward the V near the bottom shape. corset this pattern Looks close, too this corset. Here are two out-of-print options: 1 2. Of course, the bonus of the second one is that it has a collar!
For a great blog on how this dress goes together (including showing the collar shape of the neckline) I recommend checking out here.
Keep in mind that you will need to add some boning to this corset to maintain its shape.
I hope this helps! Good luck:]
