"Punzel" Time!

K has been asking me for months for a "Punzel" dress. Both girls are constantly saying they want "Punzel" hair. So, when I heard my neice wanted dress up things for her birthday, I decided it was about time I granted K's wish. I made a two piece Rapunzel dress (based on the Tangled movie) and made a long, braided "wig" for her to dress up with.

Here is the inspiration:



I made a corset looking top with puffed, striped sleeves and the 3/4 sheer sleeves. The skirt was going to be panels, for a more authentic look, but I ran out of time and ended up going with a simple, basic skirt. I even added the lace details!

The wig is just braided fleece. I plan to make the front fringed for a bangs look later. It's long and light weight, so it's perfect for what she wanted!

R wanted to dress up too, so we got the Rosetta outfit out for her.
