Ever After 2K18 Blog-venture Part 1: Choosing the dresses

In July of '98, "Ever After: A Cinderella Story" was released in theaters. For me, it has always been one of my favorite costume movies (plus being a source of comfort and support growing up), and since it'll be turning 20 in 2018, I've figured I'd make, not one, but TWO of the dresses.

The first is nicknamed the "Ruins" Gown. This dress is a favorite of mine (it reminds me of Buttercup's red gown from "The Princess Bride") and looks simple enough to to as I still can easily find a good portion of the materials used.

The second, of course, is the iconic "Breathe" Gown. I'm very much aware that everything about this dress is out of my talent (and budget) range but, like I've said, it iconic. It's the first dress that comes to mind when someone mentions "Ever After" and IT'S GOT WINGS DAMMIT! I GET TO BE THE GODDAMN BUTTERFLY THAN HAVE THEM RANDOMLY SPLATTERED ON MY DRESS!!

So, yeah, that's it. I still have to figure out a budget for both gowns, sewing machine repairs/tune-ups, and other stuffs (ie. wing commission) but I'll be updating the process here.
