Description
Well I fell in love with Ariel's Designer Dress the moment I saw it and then showed the designs to a couple of friends who also loved them and said they wanted to do other Princesses. Soon enough we had a full group and we've been quietly working on the dresses since. This, along with the Graces group, is easily my favourite group ever. Not just because it's all the Disney Princesses (dream group) in their Designer dresses (so lush) but they're all really good friends of mine. It will be very special 8'D

We also have a masquerade performance for the Sunday which we're hoping others will find funny XD

My Ariel base dress is made with duchess satin and lined. The layers are gathered crush taffeta and hand stitched on.

The wig is made from two wigs and the golden shell ornament is made from air dry clay (or it will be when it's all put together but that's for tomorrow XD).

The gloves were bought and decorated with stick on diamonte.

The shoes were a lucky find on ebay.

Group:

Jasmine: Jess
Pocahontas: Sophie
Mulan: Ellen
