Construction Details:

After Ordon Link, I said I wouldn't subject myself to intense embroidery again. Clearly, I lied. The costume is made from silk dupioni (same fabric used by the Disney Parks for her costume), with rayon-knit for the sleeves. I tried to embroider on those, but the fabric is far too delicate for that. I modified a bodice pattern I had for the corset and the underlying bodice so they could have sleeves. All the designs on the skirt, both on the border and in the center panel, are hand-embroidered. The bordering designs are actually embroidered in the movie- hard to see but in close-up shots, you can tell. I had to improvise the bordering ones, as they were unclear in the concept art. The center panel, I based off the textile from the official Rapunzel doll. Yay, high-quality product photos.

Personal Thoughts:

While not one of Disney's best animated films, I *did* appreciate what they were trying to do with Tangled, from an animation standpoint and the references to past films was a nice touch for their 50th feature. Rapunzel and Gothel were such a fantastic hero/villain duo; I wouldn't have cared for the movie at all if it wasn't for them. Rapunzel, ahhh, a princess I can finally relate to. As much as I love Belle, and always will, I'm not much like her; more of somebody I wanna be. Rap', on the other hand, totally.

I love all the concept dresses Claire Keane came up with for Rap and this one I especially liked because of the color scheme. Less pinkie-purples and a little more cornflower blue/periwinkle. Btw, is it too late to trade in Flynn for the prince from the Faerie Tale Theatre rendition of the story? I'd like Kevin Flynn instead, plz.

Styling Notes

To give it some volume, I teased some underlying layers of the wig.
