For all my fellow booklovers and Beauty and the Beast fans, here’s my Belle costume!

I happened to have this Medieval-style peasant dress I sewed years ago—that looked so much like Belle’s dress in the movie that I couldn’t resist dressing up as her. (And she IS one of my favorite princesses.) Adding the little details and making the necklace was pretty easy.

I love having costume pieces and fabrics around because that makes it pretty easy to pull together costumes.
