Making Elsa’s Winter Dress! Olaf’s Frozen Adventure | Disney Princess Frozen Cosplay Costume Sewing

I got tickets to the Ice Castles, and decided to make an icy cosplay to wear while I was there! Queen Elsa of Arendelle is the Iciest queen I could think of AND the outfit that Elsa wears in the Disney Short “Olaf’s Frozen Adventure” is by far my favorite Elsa ensemble! I already had the blue velvet in my stash, so I just needed a few more things to put the whole look together!

This is “Part 1” of a 3 part series. Part 2 will be *The Cape* and Part three will be *The Wig* and a little vlog adventure from the Ice castle shoot!

The Blue velvet from FabricWholesaleDirect.com
The White fur is from Hobby Lobby
Silver Trim is from Amazon
Big gems are from Amazon
Small gems are Swarovski Crystals

Did you get your tacos though?

Gayle DowdleJune 17, 2023 9:24 am

Gurl you need a viking like mine it drops the needle and lifts the presser foot on its own when you remove your foot from the peddle (if you select that mode) so you can pivot without having to lift the presser foot! Best investment I have ever made in my costuming business!!!!!!

You have to kinda be a company for swarvoski crystals or know a nail tech. Also you can get dupes or no name crystals at micheals craft store. They sell them in the same amounts and colors. S crystal is just no longer doing the diy market.

subbed due to chaotic energy

Emily KingsleyJune 17, 2023 9:24 am

I really relate to the chaotic way you sew! Great job, this looks amazing!!

Tell me you cosplay Zelda and just forgot that she's princess of Hyrule…

That dress is FABULOUS.

I think you're the only person I've ever heard call a yardstick a "measuring stick" which is actually more accurate…. But no one says that.

SuperSweetJune 17, 2023 9:24 am

I know it's too late lol, but when I need to use a commercial pattern, at least for smaller pieces, I tend to actually glue it to a sturdier paper before cutting it out fully. I roughly cut it out, then glue it, then cut it out properly, just to try and preserve the pattern

There wasn’t holographic fabric that could’ve been used for the snowflakes on the dress? That’s kind of what I imagine would’ve been used if the dress was reimagined and recreated.

Kathy SausenJune 17, 2023 9:24 am

WOW this is Fabulous!!!👏👏👏😊

Since you can buy single packs of Swarovski here, it might be the store who decides to sell them in multiple packs, so a different store might still sell in singular packs.
Though I’m in Japan so it might also be related to country policy.

xoxoMARIExoxoJune 17, 2023 9:24 am

All the way through the video, all I think is: “Oh boy, she loves to take risks!!” I mean, the serging part made my heart race!

magicatticJune 17, 2023 9:24 am

I got little crystals in packs like that just a few weeks ago. Try hobbylobby in the jewelry/bedazzle aisle.

JIKJune 17, 2023 9:24 am

God bless! This is 🤌✨

The reason you can't buy Swarovski Crystals like you used to anymore is because Swarovski decided to do a rebrand. They want to be known as high end so they're focusing on making jewelry and working with luxury brands. In fact, Swarovski is only allowing luxury brands to buy their products. It's really upsetting but they don't want to be associated with hobbyist anymore because they believe that it'll make their brand look cheap. It's quite ironic being that they're just glass; not even real gems.

If you still want to buy crystals similar to Swarovski crystals, there is a company that basically took the place Swarovski at craft stores when they decided to discontinue their DIY Crystals. It' called Crystals by Preciosa. The crystals are still made of glass and come in a variety of shapes and colors etc. They're also similar in price. I hope this helps!!!

i saw this on insta and i am so sad it scrolled away before i could save it needless to say I AM HYPED THIS HSOWED UP ON MY HOMEPAGE

hihi5ableJune 17, 2023 9:24 am

Swarovski, has made a major push to exclusivity and has been pulling stines from"unworthy" stores. I work at a Hallmark and they pulled our sellers license and that really screwing our sales over.

Paige convoyJune 17, 2023 9:24 am

The best thing I have find is to use freezer paper and iron. Then To the pattern’s piece Strengthens to pieces and you can reuse then without breaking hope this helps

eyesofivyJune 17, 2023 9:24 am

If you brush the fur before sewing seams you don’t have to pick it out

Angela MillsJune 17, 2023 9:24 am

Could the Zelda dress also work for a Princess Serenity dress?🤔

Sarah TomneyJune 17, 2023 9:24 am

Here's a great video about paper patterns from Costuming Drama https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pp-Cw9xIZK0

GillianGrissomJune 17, 2023 9:24 am

I am two minutes into the video, you tossed the cape fabric over your shoulder, and I went "Yep, this is PRECISELY the kind of chaos-imp I enjoy!" subscribe!

Suzette CowanJune 17, 2023 9:24 am

If you have a commercial pattern you love, you can fuse lightweight interfacing to the back to make it more durable.

LightDreamerJune 17, 2023 9:24 am

Using fur from hobby lobby……. noooooooooooooo
For good fur, I HIGHLY recommend you go for HowlFabric or BigZ fabrics
The fur is fuller, softer, easier to work with, has no clumps and sheds very little.

I'm a fursuit maker, I know what I'm saying XD

CuupiJune 17, 2023 9:24 am

Your instagram handle link is broken..

Claw WestfallJune 17, 2023 9:24 am

Girl, this video is so good! I love this costume and how you show us the process. I can so relate to that waatching tiktoks for 30 minutes instead of cooking. 😂

Jennie FowlerJune 17, 2023 9:24 am

Your hem, I feel your pain. I am making a crinoline/petticoat that has a 27 yard wide gathered hem that I am adding ribbon to. I keep putting it off

AdamantErinyesJune 17, 2023 9:24 am

Swarovski apparently wanted to raise they're image, so they only sell to designers and such. Because apparently selling through craft stores was tarnishing their reputation.

HuldieJune 17, 2023 9:24 am

Hi Instagram sent me! 😁 Loving your process it feels very familiar 🥰

leesamurmurJune 17, 2023 9:24 am

4:10 “this TRAIN has left the station” we love a good pun 😂

Also, randomly found you on my homepage, and I love that your videos are so well-made! I’m excited to watch your older content too.

Bethany TaylorJune 17, 2023 9:24 am

Stop making me want to make cozy gowns when it's 30° heat in Aus haha

AnnaJune 17, 2023 9:24 am

Came from the quilted petticoat video on tiktok, I love your channel!!

Karina ContrerasJune 17, 2023 9:24 am

I'm only 5 minutes into this video and I love you so much. The way you narrate makes me feel like I'm in your sewing are with you while you sew!

anjaniepriyaJune 17, 2023 9:24 am

So glad I saw your reel! This turned out wonderfully and I love watching sewing videos 🥰 going to subscribe for your personality for sure 😃

Jin’s WifeuJune 17, 2023 9:24 am

Such a beautiful dress !!! 🔥🔥🔥 You're awesome 👍👍👍

Amélya NoletJune 17, 2023 9:24 am

Omg wow!!!!!!!!!

serina ellencoreJune 17, 2023 9:24 am

Would have just hemmed while pinning it the first time. A two inch hem on a dress really does wonders for the drape of a train. Also makes it easier to catch while stitching through layers. Otherwise you did share great tips for viewers and i commend you for it.

BuntyteaxJune 17, 2023 9:24 am

Came from your IG Reel loved how beautiful it turned out❤❤

Anaya WoolfolkJune 17, 2023 9:24 am

What's amazing to me is that how the fuck you are so hard working. You are so passionate about creating it is mind blowing.
