Crisso's Enchanted Dress and Sydonie Rose

[aimeekitty]

My friend Crisso was my roommate in college and she's partially responsible for getting me into costuming. When I moved in with her she was making renfair gowns. We're still really good friends and work together now. For a couple years I'd been telling her to come out to ANTHONY C. BEILENSON PARK with me during sakura season. Two years ago she made an Enchanted dress, but never really got any photos of it, so she came out to the park with me yesterday. I think she looks SOOOO beautiful as Gisele! This is her actual hair, she just dyed it.




We also had a great time picnicking and hanging out with lovely friends. I'll post more in depth about that later.

I'm going out to the park today in my Sleeping Beauty costume (because I don't have any photos and I feel like being a princess after watching Princess and the Frog last night...) So, see you!

Lastly, here's a photo of one of baby roses, Sydonie! I've never really seen a quartered(?) rose like this before in person... isn't it awesome? I'm so glad I got a variety of rose types in the yard.

astounding and beautiful!! Hey, I just watched the Princess & the Frog last night, too. :) cute movie, huh? I cried over the whole Ray/Evangeline storyline. Afterwards I wanted to go to Downtown Disney and look at all the Disney things.

Can't wait to see you put up pictures of you in your sleeping beauty costume (is that what you're going to do?).

Your friend is a gorgeous Giselle! The dress is so nice, and I'm impressed she could use her own hair! XD

Rats! We were there at about he same time!!! The dress is really pretty, and I'm looking forward to seeing the pics of you with all those pretty blossoms. The park was just beautiful yesterday.

[aimeekitty.livejournal.com]

aw man!! I'm sorry I missed you!

Oh she makes such a beautiful Giselle! I absolutely love that dress and have collected some of the fabrics but the main fabric still eludes me! Her's is so perfect! Do you know, did she paint it or did she find the fabric? I know that some people have managed to find the actual fabric, but since it's in the US I don't know if I have much hope of finding it!

I can't wait to see the photos of your Aurora! The blossoms are such a perfect setting!

[aimeekitty.livejournal.com]

we've never seen the actual fabric in the fabric district though I have heard that like one person found it or something... but I've never seen it.

This fabric was embroidered and painted.

Neat! What great photos!

[ajmeow.livejournal.com]

Yay! I'm glad to finally see photos of this costume! Crisso looks awesome!

Perfect setting for Giselle. I can picture her singing right now.

[singingraisin.livejournal.com]

[aimeekitty.livejournal.com]
