Reading Is Fundamental: My reactions to Emma's costumes from "Beauty and the Beast."

I have a bone to pick with Disney as of late. They've been doing a one-step-forward-too-many-steps-back dance recently so when a link to this post showed up in the FaceBook sewing guild I'm in, I got mad at the post (NOT THE POSTER!) but still clicked it anyway and the library is open.

To start off let's talk about the main blue dress:


While we only see the top part of the dress, it actually resembles what is worn in the animated film something that "Cinderella"'s costume designer failed to do but that film failed to do a lot of things. Not sure how I feel about her headband, but overall it's a toot.

Now let's move onto Belle's iconic yellow ball gown:

Okay, I think I'm seeing a trend here and it's spend a fortune to turn a classic costume into a cheap tacky prom dress that looks absolutely nothing like the original AND EVERYONE WILL LURVE IT AND THINK YOU'RE A FUCKIG GENEIUS!! NO!!! DO NOT WANT!! Give me the goddamn original dress (that was actually pretty) not something you found on sale at David's Bridal! The one thing I do like is that there are NO CHEAP GODDAMN BUTTERFLIES CLASHING ON THE DRESS and the beast (aka Adam) looks nice but I boot this look so hard.
The library is now closed.
