Belle’s Wardrobe Fashion Event - Day 2
Today is day two of Hannah's Belle's Wardrobe fashion event. I am so excited to join in the fun event! You see, Belle is my favorite Disney princess. Plus, the soundtrack is awesome! Today's post will be a modern outfit that I put together inspired by Belle.
-What I'm Wearing-
Ruffle Tee - Anne Taylor
White & Blue Floral Pencil Skirt - Made by me
Black Suede Moccasins/flats(?) - Naturalizer
Butterfly Dangle Earrings - Kohl's
Blue Headband - Tulle from my sewing room.
________________________________________________________
Roses and this shade of blue make me thing of Belle - especially if they are together. My outfit reminds me of her blue dress with the white apron and blouse. You know, the outfit at the top of this post. =)
Let me end my post with one of my favorite songs from the movie. =)

Hotel Fullerton Singapura 03Sisters at a Masquerade!
I'm sorry this post is late. Thankfully, Amanda, has the linky open until Saturday.
Well guess what?!?! I was able to get Gabrielle, Hanne-col, and my youngest sister Abigail to join me in Amanda's Online Masquerade event! =) Now, I will warn you none of us are wearing masks. We will be "attending" the masquerade mask less. ;-)
1. Hanne-col (Jo March) 2. Abigail (She told me to write, "Costume inspired from the Captain Kidd movie.") 3. Ashley {me} (Maid Marian) 4. Gabrielle (Marianne Dashwood)
Well guess what?!?! I was able to get Gabrielle, Hanne-col, and my youngest sister Abigail to join me in Amanda's Online Masquerade event! =) Now, I will warn you none of us are wearing masks. We will be "attending" the masquerade mask less. ;-)
Hanne-col {Jo March}
For her costume Hanne-col borrowed everything, but the apron from me (Ashley). The apron she borrowed from Gabrielle. Doesn't she look nice in a 1860s dress? I think the era suits her very well.
The dress was made for my 18th birthday party. My theme was not Little Woman, but come as a book character you are most like. You can see me wearing my dress here. I used an out of print simplicity pattern for the dress - don't remember pattern number right now and I can't find it online. I made two changes to the pattern. First, reduced the size of the sleeves (I didn't have enough fabric). Second, I didn't use the pattern pieces for the skirt portion. =)
Abigail {Inspired from Captain Kidd (1945)}
As you can see, Abigail is more of a tomboy. =) Her costume was borrowed from her older brother (he is between Hanne-col and Abigail). Which I made for Vision Forum's Reformation 500 last year. Now her hat is mine and the cowgirl boots are Gabrielle's. The rest is all our brother's. This is the pattern I used for the breeches and shirt. It is really easy to use and follow. Highly recommend.
Ashley {Maid Marian in the Nottingham castle [Robin Hood BBC TV Show]}
The bodice of my costume was sewn for Vision Forum's Reformation 500 event last year. While my shirt and skirt were made for their Jamestown 400 event. I'm also wearing a fashion ring, Tudor necklace, and owl earrings.
Bodice - McCall's 4696 view E
Shirt - Simplicity 5582 view C
Skirt - Just basic rectangles gathered into a waistband. I used 3 yards. =)
Gabrielle {Marianne Dashwood}
Once again, another sister is borrowing one of my costumes. Good thing we are all close in size - but not in height. =) Gabrielle is wearing my Marianne Dashwood outfit that I made back in 2008 for a trip to Williamsburg, VA. You can read all the details on this costume here. She is also wearing a cameo necklace from London. =)

Thank you, Amanda, for hosting this fun event! It was so much fun to play dress up with my sisters. =)

My Anthropologie Inspired Shirt
I love the anthropologie store! The store is full of unique and wonderful clothing, shoes, accessorizes, and home decor. So it is no wonder that my latest sewing project would be inspired from two shirts I found online at their website.
My shirt has the lace applique on the side (inspired by the Perennial Plot Shirt) and a dramatic hem line (inspired by the Providence Top).
{All About The Shirt}
Bodice of t-shirt - Draped on Lizzy my dressform.
Sleeves - Self drafted
Lace Applique - I tea dyed some leftover lace from the curtains in our house, that Gabrielle and my mom made seven, or eight years ago. Then I cut out each rose and arranged them into a oval onto my shirt. Satin stitched the whole down and then you are done. Easy as pie once you figure it out. =) You know what I discovered? I love tea dying! =) In fact, I want to find out more about natural dyes. Do any of you do dye fabrics using natural resources?
Fabric Used - Brown knit bought in LA. I still have some knit leftover and I'm thinking on making either a shirt to sell on etsy, or a flow-y cardigan for myself. Then again, I could make a shirt for Gabrielle.
Bonus to Making Your Own Skirts - You can fit the shirt to your own body shape. Your long sleeves can be long sleeves on long arms - like mine. =) If you are long-waisted, or short-waisted you can make adjustments for that. No one else will have the same shirt - as you made it yourself.
