This is honestly one of the most gorgeous and most expensive dress projects I've ever seen, and part of me hopes you wear it all the time and part of me hopes it's in a shrine somewhere
Thank you for showing the historically accurate importance of a corset. They actually are supportive to the incredibly extravagant gowns. Also just wow on the dress. You are beyond talented.
I'm 77 years old. Watching your lovely video brought me to tears. Many years ago, 30 + years, I had practiced sewing as a hobby, but was coerced into practicing more "manly" activities. Sewing and Art are the real loves of my life. Indeed generations ago, my family (Bouche') were from Alsace, and there are examples of my ancestors work in the Washington DC Smithsonian Museum. These days, I write Science Fiction as an outlet, and just finished purchasing a tapestry to hang on a blank wall in my apartment. I'm not known or published.
@@adalon378 yes but that would be ridiculously expensive (well, more so) and time-costly to sew such an absurd amount of tulle when you can simply make a shaped under layer to fill up that unnecessary space.
@@lovelylynx5473 The boning structure also helps to support the weight of the dress and gives it shape. Even layers upon layers of tulle would be quite heavy. It also holds the skirt out of the way of her feet while she is dancing, so it doesn’t wrap around her.when she twirls. Major props the the actress who had to manage that original without the structure umderneath.
As a former costumer for a national theater, I have to say I am so impressed with your design and construction skill. This gown is pure perfection. Never seen anything quite this sumptuous.
Excellent work to describe this creation…sumptuous (extremely costly-think we can all agree with that-rich, luxurious or magnificent. ) I love that word. My favorite fabric is the one she ordered-the super organza. And I think sumptuous is a great descriptor for it!
10,000 Swarovski crystals??? That's waaay more patience and dedication than I ever had when I used to sew my own clothes. But I wouldn't have achieved this level of craftsmanship either. Just stunning. Absolutely stunning.
the original i think use allot more, since when i watch then movie multiple times, they use much more smaller swarovski (i think their Xero crystal also put on dress) which make allot more crystal. the sparkle & shimmer is much more delicate, and of course, it's much more expensive to made if she going that route. but this replica is as beautiful as the original. their puffy and flow is amazing! the sparkle for each move is also amazing as well. I bet many people want to had one like this
@@adityasixviandyj7334 Oh yeah don't also forget about the fact they can edit in sparkles and have the time to make everything perfect in post production! But both dresses are so fancy and sparkly I love them both haha
@@midnight6994 I also think that too, as they do need add CGI for sparkle and shimmer as in ballroom scene, as the light in the ball room is diffused and had allot of mini point, making the sparkle is not as bright as they should... but the midnight garden scene seem not had CGI for the sparkle, due the help of single spot light, which also same principle on our diamond/cubic zirconia/crystal/moissanite spakrling crazy with our phone flashlight, but not on diffused light (cloudy day). but again, the original and this one is truly amazing and so fancy like you said... I really want either of them if I could. I bet all girls/womens want it as well.
Great craftmanship. Amazing, gorgeous dress. And at the same time - I am so happy to live m in times when no corset or several petticoats and crinolines are required, so I can go to work in jeans and t-shirt, and in simple small black dress for some evening occation :) .
This is the most accurate, expensive, gorgeous replica of the Cinderella dress. It's worth every single penny. The effort you put into this dress is just-oh my gosh I'm speechless I don't know what to say! And the Japanese fabric did give it such a good effect. How can someone be this talented?!
People have tried to replicate this dress before and no one ever even came close. Your dress though is utter perfection, the perfect recreation of the most beautiful dress i have ever seen.
@@jadecoolness101 in the live action they couldn't replicate the animated one, it would have looked very stiff and flat when their aim was to have something that would move in a flowy fashion. The skirt looks kinda poor when standing still sometimes, but it succeeds at moving well during the dance as intended. My criticism would be designing the bodice. Otherwise it's a pretty good dress
@@jadecoolness101 it doesn't flow well, I've seen plenty, worn dresses like it, and I've made dresses before. In order to make the animated Belle dress you have to use a thicker fabric that's also longer, then you add details which are just as heavy. It's not stiff, but it's not flowy either. They wanted something light and would move with every step and turn, the animated one wouldn't
@@zoe_moth Several people have speculated, that the reason Bell's dress in the live action is dull, is because Emma Watson refused to wear a corset due to "feminist" belief. That makes it hard to create a voluminous flowing dress as it is the corset, that carries the weight. Feminist in quotes because I don't consider a corset anti-feminism. They weren't made to restrict women, but had very practical purposes. Like carry the weight of a heavy dress, and for the common woman it served as a back support and bra.
Always wondered why fancy dresses were so expensive. Fabric is part of it, but the design, effort and ALL THE TIME!!!! Very impressive! You're a trooper :) and a gem for doing this!
Just looking at this gown is mesmerizing enough, but knowing how much skill, time, work, patience, and pure talent that went into the making of it, makes it even more beautiful to me. I’m at a loss for words! This dress is just priceless.
V určitom období mali tanečnice štandartných spoločenských tancov sukne šiat ušité z 30 m hodvábnej látky. A nepotrebovali na vyzdvihnutie sukne konštrukcie. Tie šaty boli očarujúce. Asi kvôli vysokým cenovým nákladom sa od toho časom upustilo.
that final cost is crazy 🤯🤯 but totally worth it because this dress is so so beautiful. I cry when I see it and I've loved watching everything you've produced while creating it
The Swarovski crystals must have been a pain but they were so worth it! The way the dress sparkles is captivating. Also that one floaty fabric looks like smoke and it’s amazing
I will always be impressed by anyone who sews anything. The amount of time and the amount of patience you have to have is just incredible. The dress is just phenomenal
I've been in love with the dress from the movie since the first glance. It is my favourite movie adaptation of Cinderella, purely because of the dress. The way it swooshes, it looks like it weights nothing, just incredible. I'd love to twirl around it. And the shimmer? The fullness? Absolutely amazing work.
The most astounding dressmaking skills I have ever seen, utterly breathtaking. I was taught to embroider and sew tapestry by my grandmother's ladies maid from a very young age, I now repair and restore antique pieces so fully appreciate the skills of this lady. What an eye for detail. This dress should be exhibited, not only for it's intrinsic beauty but also as a testament to incredible talent.
@@irenedavo3768 My grandmother was born in 1899, the daughter of a Duke. She was a product of a different age. The family had a butler, housekeeper, cook, kitchen staff, maids, valet, footmen, gamekeepers, gardners, chauffeur, grooms and yes, the ladies each had a personal maidfter who looked after their wardrobe, styled their hair and helped them to dress. Think Downton Abbey but smarter. She climbed mountains, rode motorbikes as well as horses, travelled the world several times, was an expert skydiver, skier, distance swimmer and learned to scuba dive aged 78. She was a natural phenomenon. She taught me everything she knew, I was on the back of a pony before I could walk. Within three days she had her 90th birthday, my mother her 60th and I my 30th. We celebrated by climbing Island Peak in Nepal. Even at ninety that woman had the lungs of a teenager. She had afternoon tea in her rose garden, chose the church flowers for Sunday Mass then drifted away peacefully, three days after her 102nd birthday.
I knew the gown Lilly James wore was exquisite, and she did it full justice, but I had no idea it was this labor intensive, nor made with such delicate and gorgeous fabrics. I can't even make a simple pillowcase, so can't imagine making this beauty with all of its fragile and expensive fabrics. Excellent job of making the replica!
All the long and winding road to the dream dress reduced to 6 minutes!, you're certainly incredible! I love how you recreated such a complicated ball dress from 0 to 100 % all by yourself. In top of it your ability to create didactical, enjoyable videos and your generosity by sharing them! T H A N K S B E L L A M A E !
As a rule, I don’t care for clothes, fashion and costumes but I do appreciate work well done and this here is outstanding craftsmanship. I am flabbergasted! Such an impressive costume deserves an award.
sammeee, i normally just wear whatevers on top of my shelf, but this gave off such an amazing workmanship and shows princess material. I actually hope it does receive an award
I can almost guarantee you this is WAY better than what they made for the actual movie. This is really amazing -- you took something made for filming and created an actual real-world dress out of it. I can't believe that even the underthings are all embroidered and ready for a close-up examination.
What? The movie dress was made by hand by a whole team under Sandy Perkins supervision. It was a stunning piece of wearable art, just like Bella's dress is as well. No need to insult the original creators' hard work when complimenting this recreation.
@@PoisonTheOgres Usually movie dresses are made with an awareness that they are temporary and don't need to last for years. They're also made to look a certain way on camera. There's always a difference between what's used on film and stage and a real piece of clothing.
Your replica is so beautiful! I absolutely love Cinderella's dress! It's everything I ever imagined in a princess dress when I was a child. I love watching the skirts swish around while she's dancing in it! I'm so glad you decided to dance in the dress too! I admire your dedication in recreating this beautiful dress (and also the financial aspect, omg). I hope your dress is displayed in a museum! Amazing!
This whole process was mesmerizing - every step & result was riveting!! Your skills are unparalleled and the gown is truly one of a kind. Truth is better than the fairytale version! ❤
Ill never get over how gorgeous this dress is. I rewatch the whole series every few months or so just to see it all come together all over again. This video will make that much more efficient!
HOLY MOLY THAT IS ASTONISHING!!! It truly looks like a dress made out of pure magic. It's got such a stunning sparkling and twirling effect! I am beyond impressed that you pulled this off!
This is one of the most beautiful dresses I've ever seen and I'm so happy you recreated it! I hope you manage to find occasions to wear it...or save it for your wedding gown!
I have been a seamstress for longer than I would like to admit. I would not have had the patience to create that beautiful dress. You did a beautiful job creating the dress and the video.
Its amazing how magical one gown can be, certainly contributed to how we all fell in love with the movie. You did an excellent job recreating this dress, it's certainly not an easy thing to recreate with all of those layers. But I finally learned what it was that gave this dress the right touch, the Japanese super organza. Thank you!
you did such an amazing job, bella! just watching this is INSANE! you did all that! (6 times haha!) it came out so beautifully - we're never growing tired of cinderella-videos, okay? never! post as many as you like, here we are, liking and watching them
It took me until the very very end to realize the dress the girl is recorded dancing in is the dress you made and not the original... And only because I was wondering why you didn't show your version! This is absolutely outstanding!
It’s gorgeous and so so close to being identical to the real thing! 👏 this girl absolutely deserves an award ! Especially for the patience required to make such a dress.
I made a Cinderella Dress for my Hermione Granger doll, and I am going to make a life-size one for myself for Halloween. I’m happy I came across these videos, they will most definitely help me. Thank you so much!! ❤ 😊
Gorgeous!! Your interpretation is as equal to the original. I liked the way the skirt moved with every movement of the wearer in the original movie. You have captured the same flow. Loved it!
Incredible, really so amazing. As a dressmaker I understand and appreciate the hours of work in all these layers to build up to the final gown. Very talented, dedicated, clever and very beautiful. Thanks for sharing this remarkable work
OMG OMG OMG this is breathtaking 😱 You're a princess AND a Fairy Godmother at the same time! This dress is truly a work of art, you're skill level is insane, and you look so fabulous in it, I just can't. 10 minutes round of applause!
Absolutely STUNNING, a truly spectacular Cinderella dress and the workmanship( hope you don't take offence at that) that has went into turning this fairytale into reality is a work of art, I hope that wherever this gown goes that it is treated with the respect it deserves and lasts forever. Thank you so very much for showing the time and skill that you put into making this work of art, you have created the one thing that so many little girls imagine that magical dress to look like. Sending crafty hugs, Norah, Glenochil Village, Scotland
Stunning work! If you don't, or have never worked for Disney, and was able to recreate Cinderella's dress I am extremely impressed. Excellent job because it's gorgeous and right on point.
This is genuinely the most incredible dress I think I’ve ever seen. Also that floaty material was so cool I’d love to get my hands on it sometime for a project of my own😍
When I saw this in the cinema I was in awe of the dress and how anyone could create it, it looks so amazing, I think even more amazing when you realise how much work went into it, I think it’s the most incredible dress, you should be incredibly proud, it looks the same as the one in the film, I love how when you spin the ruffles underneath just don’t seem to end, it truly does look magical
I love this how to make (Cinderella’s Ballgown) I am looking at the video now. Thank you so much for talking in your video. I am a big time Disney lover have been all my life and I’m 70 years old now. I can close my eyes and still see Cinderella dancing with the prince in the dress that she wore, the movement was just like the one that you just made. Your dress is so Beautiful. You are so talented at making and sewing. 🪡🧵 Thank You for posting this! I love this! 🥰 🐾
An absolute MASTERPIECE. I am reeling from the beauty, the complexity, the craftsmanship - I don't have the words. I applaud your skill and success!!!!!
You’ve done an incredible job, Bella. The end result is truly breathtaking! You should feel extremely proud of yourself. What an astounding amount of work you put into this but truly, it was totally worth it. Congratulations on a stellar job. It’s an amazing dress! 🥰
Having watched thru the whole series, i was wondering how you were going to get thru the whole dress in just 6 minutes! But well done!! It never gets old, watching how the material flows and sparkles with movement. Lovely!
I loveeeeee this dress, it is so stunning!!! Before I got married, a bridal shop near my house had a version of it. I was going to buy it in white. They sadly went bankrupt 2 months before I was going to order mine. I fell in love with it when I first saw it on Cinderella. I want to wear this dress all day and, play dress up lol.
This made it all look like the process went so smoothly and easily😂 I still can't believe how incredible the result is. It looks so beautiful onscreen, it makes me wonder how they were able to edit/cut down the footage of every scene the dress is featured. I think I would've just made the whole movie the ball scene! The crystals are so striking but my favorite part is how the skirt really dances. It moves so beautifully.
Stunning. the work to make it so beautiful. I bet everyone wants a ballgown again for a wedding and proms. Bring back the ballgown and get on the waiting list for this incredible fabric artist
I dont' know how this video ended up on my feed but I'm glad it did. Gorgeous work!! I'm not a sewer , but my late mother was . She would never sell what she made because she said " people who don't sew have no idea how much work is involved and you could never charge enough for it" She never made anything this fancy, but she would have appreciated your skill! Amazing !
This is the most beautiful dress ever made. The way it moves, the colors, the sparkle - not to mention the astonishing skill that went making it. No words…
I cried watching this video. Such care, detail and reverence was shown to this construction and its materials. That superorganza is the most breathtaking material I have ever come across.
Thank you so much for sharing this! I learned a lot! I was fortunate enough to be gifted some money from my grandfather who wanted to buy me a custom made wedding gown. This made me appreciate it even more because of all the time and hard work that goes into making it! Been two years since my wedding and I’m just as in love with it as I was the first time seeing it. This gown is so beautiful!! You are so incredibly talented! I admire how patient and detail oriented you and other seamstresses are because you take such care in making creations that stir up emotions and become part of our memories. My grandpa passed away 5 months ago, and I’m so fortunate he was able to see the gown he paid for before passing away. Thank you for sharing!
When I first saw this dress in theaters I was immediately in love with it and it has been a dream dress of mine to wear! I can’t imagine all the hard work you did making it and it looks so beautiful and well worth the time and effort! 😍🦋
Oh my - I was transfixed! What an absolutely stunning gown and I think the word 'stunning' is an understatement! $5,000 worth of material sounds a lot but it's worth it! It just flows when you dance - could watch for ages because it's calming!
This is such a gorgeous dress! I tried sewing basic things with my mum's old Singer from the sixties but I guess I'm not gifted because I didn't really the hang of it so I am in awe of this gorgeous dress.
God this look so ethereal and fluid when she dances! It looks so good a part of me can't believe its not animated. so beautiful, the real Cinderella wishes this was her ballgown.
After over 400 hours of work, the selection of hundreds of yards of various gossamer, diaphanous fabrics, and factoring in your gigantic skill, this gown (WITH hand painted butterflies) is priceless. Never mind leaving a slipper behind, Cindy. Keep your shoes on and leave the dress!!!! Utterly beautiful. You sewed a cloud!
It was a long journey to make the "Cinderella Ball Gown"💐💐💐 But it is more beautiful than real one😊😊😊 This video is very helpful to understand the steps of the ball gown. Thank you very much🌹🌹🌹
Girl, you are unbelievably outstanding. You’ve made it with a serious intention to match Cinderella’s. You’re awesome. I hope you post more detailed videos on how you make these beautiful butterflies. Everything is just wow.
This is beautiful! The skill one needs to do such a beautiful thing! You are amazing! My favorite is the super organza. Like the must gorgeous fabric ever!
This really was beautiful. Blue is usually my least favorite color, but the movement of this dress completely transforms it. The lesson here is that when you want something to eeally look just right, always use natural fibers. I'm really impressed.
Very talented and patient seamstress! I don’t think I’ve ever seen a dress that flows and shimmers like that before. The lightning causes the material to look almost liquid-like.
THANK YOU FOR DOING CORSETS JUSTICE Hollywood does a lot of things wrong, but a costuming thing that I hate they don’t do well is how they’re a structuring element as opposed to something like tightlacing-they are distinctly different. And the fact that they’ve scared away a number of actresses away from them is very sad.
Wow! I sew and know the patience and persistence it had to have taken for all the steps, especially all the ruffles, but I would not have the skills/knowledge to do an undertaking of this kind. Never tear or spill anything on that dress!!! She obviously knew what she was doing in the design because something that invovled can go very wrong in so many of the different steps and fabrics! Incredible! I know you have to see this in person to be able to truly see the real beauty of it. Pictures just are not able to do thinks like this true justice.
This is honestly one of the most gorgeous and most expensive dress projects I've ever seen, and part of me hopes you wear it all the time and part of me hopes it's in a shrine somewhere
Sure it looks supergorgeous and all. But I'd never expect it to be worn everyday. Ahahaha
I hope she sells it to Disney so it can be used in a parade
It would make an awesome wedding dress, honestly.
@@time2livelife never sell anything to Disney because they will make WAY more money off it than you ever will
@@wolfgangchen7287 true.
I honestly thought the ending dance was from the actual movie because of how perfectly similar the dress is!! Well done!
Don't forget the hair as well i really thought it was lily James
irk same!!
I didn’t watch the movie and i thought it was legit for a second too lol
same
I love that movie and I had to do a double take because at first glance I thought it was Lily James and maybe a cut scene or something 😂😍
The shimmer of the dress and the way the skirts bounce and twirl is just so mesmerising...
It looks so magical and reminds me of waves somehow

It's never too late to sew.
Nothing like the present to make your dreams reality.
Hello weiter, why not starting sewing again? It's never too late and once youve learned it, you wont forget how it works. 😊
A total of 18 layers of skirts. No wonder it looks so perfectly puffy. Truly a dress full of dreams.
As far as I know, the real one doesn't have any boning structure under the skirts, it's only layers upon layers of tulle.

Never thought I’d see a dress so beautiful I’d want to cry. Imagine it as a wedding dress- I’d be proud to pass it down in my family.
Hello how are you doing?
It would be wonderful to pass an heirloom like this down!
I knew the gown Lilly James wore was exquisite, and she did it full justice, but I had no idea it was this labor intensive, nor made with such delicate and gorgeous fabrics.
I can't even make a simple pillowcase, so can't imagine making this beauty with all of its fragile and expensive fabrics. Excellent job of making the replica!
All the long and winding road to the dream dress reduced to 6 minutes!, you're certainly incredible! I love how you recreated such a complicated ball dress from 0 to 100 % all by yourself. In top of it your ability to create didactical, enjoyable videos and your generosity by sharing them!
T H A N K S B E L L A M A E !
Aww, thanks! It’s my pleasure to share it with you!
@@BellaMaesDesigns How did you find the Japanese supplier?
As a rule, I don’t care for clothes, fashion and costumes but I do appreciate work well done and this here is outstanding craftsmanship. I am flabbergasted! Such an impressive costume deserves an award.
sammeee, i normally just wear whatevers on top of my shelf, but this gave off such an amazing workmanship and shows princess material. I actually hope it does receive an award
@@Randomly.clicheyou can have awards for dresses, which ones?
You should be proud of yourself for making this dress , it melts my heart 🥹🩵
I can almost guarantee you this is WAY better than what they made for the actual movie. This is really amazing -- you took something made for filming and created an actual real-world dress out of it. I can't believe that even the underthings are all embroidered and ready for a close-up examination.
What? The movie dress was made by hand by a whole team under Sandy Perkins supervision. It was a stunning piece of wearable art, just like Bella's dress is as well. No need to insult the original creators' hard work when complimenting this recreation.
@@PoisonTheOgres ye you tellem
@@PoisonTheOgres thank you
@@PoisonTheOgres Usually movie dresses are made with an awareness that they are temporary and don't need to last for years. They're also made to look a certain way on camera. There's always a difference between what's used on film and stage and a real piece of clothing.
@@jcortese3300 there’s sometimes a difference. MOST clothes used in filming are bought at the mall.
Your replica is so beautiful! I absolutely love Cinderella's dress! It's everything I ever imagined in a princess dress when I was a child. I love watching the skirts swish around while she's dancing in it! I'm so glad you decided to dance in the dress too! I admire your dedication in recreating this beautiful dress (and also the financial aspect, omg). I hope your dress is displayed in a museum! Amazing!
The dress looks like ocean waves. How gorgeous well done 👍
It’s amazing how she could keep track of all the pieces, this was a monumentous task, well done!!!
This whole process was mesmerizing - every step & result was riveting!! Your skills are unparalleled and the gown is truly one of a kind. Truth is better than the fairytale version! ❤
Ill never get over how gorgeous this dress is. I rewatch the whole series every few months or so just to see it all come together all over again. This video will make that much more efficient!
HOLY MOLY THAT IS ASTONISHING!!!
It truly looks like a dress made out of pure magic. It's got such a stunning sparkling and twirling effect!
I am beyond impressed that you pulled this off!
This is one of the most beautiful dresses I've ever seen and I'm so happy you recreated it! I hope you manage to find occasions to wear it...or save it for your wedding gown!
Truly a labour of love! This dress should be displayed for all to admire xxx
I have been a seamstress for longer than I would like to admit. I would not have had the patience to create that beautiful dress. You did a beautiful job creating the dress and the video.
Its amazing how magical one gown can be, certainly contributed to how we all fell in love with the movie. You did an excellent job recreating this dress, it's certainly not an easy thing to recreate with all of those layers. But I finally learned what it was that gave this dress the right touch, the Japanese super organza. Thank you!
you did such an amazing job, bella! just watching this is INSANE! you did all that! (6 times haha!)
it came out so beautifully - we're never growing tired of cinderella-videos, okay? never! post as many as you like, here we are, liking and watching them
Hehe, thanks! Sometimes I forget how many times I did this! 😂 Good to know!
haha so lustig 6 Mal ist ja ein toller Kommentar hihi
Stunning amount of labor, talent, and dedication! That gown is glorious!
Lilly made you so proud to wear and dance in it. It's so beautiful. You must have had so much patience in designing and making. BEAUTIFUL. 👗
わぉ...コスプレって調べたらまさかのシンデレラドレスのレプリカ...しかもこんなにも夢のような色に布の動きが本当に作れるなんて...！素敵な時間をありがとう
It took me until the very very end to realize the dress the girl is recorded dancing in is the dress you made and not the original... And only because I was wondering why you didn't show your version! This is absolutely outstanding!
that dress is literally one of the most beautiful things ive ever seen. the sparkles. its just breathtaking
It’s gorgeous and so so close to being identical to the real thing! 👏 this girl absolutely deserves an award ! Especially for the patience required to make such a dress.
I made a Cinderella Dress for my Hermione Granger doll, and I am going to make a life-size one for myself for Halloween. I’m happy I came across these videos, they will most definitely help me. Thank you so much!! ❤ 😊
This is an absolutely incredible amount of work, and you have my utmost respect for the patience and perseverance your poured into this dress! ✨👗✨
The beauty, engineering, and effort put into this dress are breathtaking.
The dance is so much more amazing after watching all the work put into one video!
Gorgeous!! Your interpretation is as equal to the original. I liked the way the skirt moved with every movement of the wearer in the original movie. You have captured the same flow. Loved it!
Just beautiful! Anyone who sews understands the complexity and diligence of making this gown. So many layers, but a gorgeous gown in the end.
Incredible, really so amazing. As a dressmaker I understand and appreciate the hours of work in all these layers to build up to the final gown. Very talented, dedicated, clever and very beautiful. Thanks for sharing this remarkable work
The results were astonishingly beautiful!!!
OMG OMG OMG this is breathtaking 😱 You're a princess AND a Fairy Godmother at the same time! This dress is truly a work of art, you're skill level is insane, and you look so fabulous in it, I just can't. 10 minutes round of applause!
Absolutely STUNNING, a truly spectacular Cinderella dress and the workmanship( hope you don't take offence at that) that has went into turning this fairytale into reality is a work of art, I hope that wherever this gown goes that it is treated with the respect it deserves and lasts forever. Thank you so very much for showing the time and skill that you put into making this work of art, you have created the one thing that so many little girls imagine that magical dress to look like. Sending crafty hugs, Norah, Glenochil Village, Scotland
Absolutely amazing. A work of art. A labour of love. Absolutely amazing thank you for sharing.❤
Stunning work! If you don't, or have never worked for Disney, and was able to recreate Cinderella's dress I am extremely impressed. Excellent job because it's gorgeous and right on point.
This is genuinely the most incredible dress I think I’ve ever seen. Also that floaty material was so cool I’d love to get my hands on it sometime for a project of my own😍
I can't even begin to imagine laying it out, I suspect that if you look at it wrong or breathe too heavily it'll shift!
When I saw this in the cinema I was in awe of the dress and how anyone could create it, it looks so amazing, I think even more amazing when you realise how much work went into it, I think it’s the most incredible dress, you should be incredibly proud, it looks the same as the one in the film, I love how when you spin the ruffles underneath just don’t seem to end, it truly does look magical
This dress is so gorgeous, it’s my dream dress to make honestly 🥺 I’m just so inspired and amazed by your skill! This dress is wonderful
I love this how to make (Cinderella’s Ballgown) I am looking at the video now. Thank you so much for talking in your video. I am a big time Disney lover have been all my life and I’m 70 years old now. I can close my eyes and still see Cinderella dancing with the prince in the dress that she wore, the movement was just like the one that you just made. Your dress is so Beautiful. You are so talented at making and sewing. 🪡🧵 Thank You for posting this!
I love this! 🥰 🐾
An absolute MASTERPIECE. I am reeling from the beauty, the complexity, the craftsmanship - I don't have the words. I applaud your skill and success!!!!!
Just gorgeous 🤗. That dance scene just looked straight out of fantasy 🥰
Of course I see this amazing dress and the original & think - Sleeping Beauty’s ball gown lol
You’ve done an incredible job, Bella. The end result is truly breathtaking! You should feel extremely proud of yourself. What an astounding amount of work you put into this but truly, it was totally worth it. Congratulations on a stellar job. It’s an amazing dress! 🥰
Having watched thru the whole series, i was wondering how you were going to get thru the whole dress in just 6 minutes! But well done!! It never gets old, watching how the material flows and sparkles with movement. Lovely!
I’m also a seamstress and found this video quite interesting. So much work and detail, and the final result is exquisite. Well done!
I loveeeeee this dress, it is so stunning!!! Before I got married, a bridal shop near my house had a version of it. I was going to buy it in white. They sadly went bankrupt 2 months before I was going to order mine. I fell in love with it when I first saw it on Cinderella. I want to wear this dress all day and, play dress up lol.
that dress is performing itself 😭 such beautiful creation oh my gosh 💗
This made it all look like the process went so smoothly and easily😂 I still can't believe how incredible the result is. It looks so beautiful onscreen, it makes me wonder how they were able to edit/cut down the footage of every scene the dress is featured. I think I would've just made the whole movie the ball scene! The crystals are so striking but my favorite part is how the skirt really dances. It moves so beautifully.
This is aboslutely AMAZING! the movement, the colors, the way light reflects off the dress, the structure WOW
Stunning. the work to make it so beautiful. I bet everyone wants a ballgown again for a wedding and proms. Bring back the ballgown and get on the waiting list for this incredible fabric artist
I dont' know how this video ended up on my feed but I'm glad it did. Gorgeous work!! I'm not a sewer , but my late mother was . She would never sell what she made because she said " people who don't sew have no idea how much work is involved and you could never charge enough for it" She never made anything this fancy, but she would have appreciated your skill! Amazing !
This is the most beautiful dress ever made. The way it moves, the colors, the sparkle - not to mention the astonishing skill that went making it. No words…
$5000 and 400 or more hours……I can’t wait to see the next project. Well done!!!!❤️
The final result really shows all the love and dedication that went into the creation of the dress.
I cried watching this video. Such care, detail and reverence was shown to this construction and its materials.
That superorganza is the most breathtaking material I have ever come across.
Thank you so much for sharing this! I learned a lot! I was fortunate enough to be gifted some money from my grandfather who wanted to buy me a custom made wedding gown. This made me appreciate it even more because of all the time and hard work that goes into making it! Been two years since my wedding and I’m just as in love with it as I was the first time seeing it. This gown is so beautiful!! You are so incredibly talented! I admire how patient and detail oriented you and other seamstresses are because you take such care in making creations that stir up emotions and become part of our memories. My grandpa passed away 5 months ago, and I’m so fortunate he was able to see the gown he paid for before passing away. Thank you for sharing!
What an amazingly talented young woman. The Cinderella gown is out of this world! 🌟✨🕊🧡
When I first saw this dress in theaters I was immediately in love with it and it has been a dream dress of mine to wear! I can’t imagine all the hard work you did making it and it looks so beautiful and well worth the time and effort! 😍🦋
What a beautiful dress you have created. It’s amazing how many layers were required to create the look. Love all the crystal as well. Very well done!
Seeing the finished gown took my breath away ! To make such a gown is a daunting task for a young person such as yourself, and I commend you for this.
Oh my - I was transfixed! What an absolutely stunning gown and I think the word 'stunning' is an understatement! $5,000 worth of material sounds a lot but it's worth it!
It just flows when you dance - could watch for ages because it's calming!
So worth it! The time and effort you put into this dress was insane. Such an eye for detail. I had no idea fabric could be so complex.
This is such a gorgeous dress! I tried sewing basic things with my mum's old Singer from the sixties but I guess I'm not gifted because I didn't really the hang of it so I am in awe of this gorgeous dress.
God this look so ethereal and fluid when she dances! It looks so good a part of me can't believe its not animated. so beautiful, the real Cinderella wishes this was her ballgown.
it's looks magical .you take care of every small details i can see your effort in this dress 😇✨✨👸
After over 400 hours of work, the selection of hundreds of yards of various gossamer, diaphanous fabrics, and factoring in your gigantic skill, this gown (WITH hand painted butterflies) is priceless.
Never mind leaving a slipper behind, Cindy. Keep your shoes on and leave the dress!!!!
Utterly beautiful. You sewed a cloud!
It was a long journey to make the "Cinderella Ball Gown"💐💐💐 But it is more beautiful than real one😊😊😊 This video is very helpful to understand the steps of the ball gown. Thank you very much🌹🌹🌹
Girl, you are unbelievably outstanding. You’ve made it with a serious intention to match Cinderella’s. You’re awesome. I hope you post more detailed videos on how you make these beautiful butterflies. Everything is just wow.
This is beautiful! The skill one needs to do such a beautiful thing! You are amazing!
My favorite is the super organza. Like the must gorgeous fabric ever!
This really was beautiful. Blue is usually my least favorite color, but the movement of this dress completely transforms it. The lesson here is that when you want something to eeally look just right, always use natural fibers. I'm really impressed.
Very talented and patient seamstress! I don’t think I’ve ever seen a dress that flows and shimmers like that before. The lightning causes the material to look almost liquid-like.
Wow you did a beautiful job on this ball gown. You look amazing in it.
This is BY FAR the best replica of this dress that I have seen!! You did an AMAZING job! It’s absolutely beautiful! ❤
THANK YOU FOR DOING CORSETS JUSTICE
Hollywood does a lot of things wrong, but a costuming thing that I hate they don’t do well is how they’re a structuring element as opposed to something like tightlacing-they are distinctly different. And the fact that they’ve scared away a number of actresses away from them is very sad.
I really love how the dress is sparkling.Its absolutely gorgeous
Wow! I sew and know the patience and persistence it had to have taken for all the steps, especially all the ruffles, but I would not have the skills/knowledge to do an undertaking of this kind. Never tear or spill anything on that dress!!! She obviously knew what she was doing in the design because something that invovled can go very wrong in so many of the different steps and fabrics! Incredible! I know you have to see this in person to be able to truly see the real beauty of it. Pictures just are not able to do thinks like this true justice.
