Disney Dress: Easter

I apologize, I fell off the blog posting boat while working on my outfits for the Walt Disney World Marathon Weeked. But since I am currently out of fabric from all the outfits I made for that trip and also my upcoming trip to Disney for the Princess Half Marathon, I figured I should start posting some of my outfits again.  I decided to share the Easter dress I made for myself first since I will not be wearing this dress at Disney.  The fabric I used was cotton lyrca from BCD fabrics from her surprise Easter retail. I think this fabric is absolutely adorable. I will add the link to the website  here  and the link to the Facebook page  here . Unfortunately there was very limited retail of this fabric so I do not think there is any left.  For the dress itself, I mashed together the Wiggle Dress and Sweetheart Dress from Patterns for Pirates.  The top is the off the should top from the Wiggle Dress.

Disney Outfit #1 - Stained Glass Timeless Tunic

For my first outfit for my upcoming trip to Disney, I created this beautiful Beauty and the Beast modified Timeless Tunic.

For this outfit, I actually found the fabric first and then ordered the ears second. I saw this fabric and knew the Yub Nub shop had a pair that would match perfectly.

How it all Began

At some point in time, I stumbled upon an Etsy Shop called the Yub Nub Shop . The owner hand paints the most stunning ears I have ever laid my eyes upon. Not only does she create custom ears, but she also has monthly mystery ears. I think I own about 10 pairs, and I am not afraid to admit that.  Pictured above is one of my custom pairs that feature Wall-E, BB-8 (Who is wearing R2-D2 ears), and Bayamax. The only problem was that when I received my ears (especially the mystery ears because they are well a mystery) I suddenly felt the need to make sure that my ears match my outfit.  In my most recent trip to Disney in April for the Dark Side Challenge, I had brought with me a different pair of ears and coordinating outfits for the 7 days I was there. At the time, I was mostly just creating my own t-shirts with iron on decals.  Fast forward to May. It was very odd, I one day woke up with the sudden desire to start sewing again and had also discovere...
