Making Princess Tiana's Best Dress (Victorian Style) | Part 1: The Skirt & Bustle

My birthday's coming up and I wanted to recreate the blue dress Tiana wears in Disney's The Princess and the Frog (2009) - with a late Victorian twist. This make will combine belle époque, bustle era fashion and some inspiration from Bertha Russell's red gown in The Gilded Age. It all begins with the skirt of the ball gown, for which I referenced 1880s ball gowns and late Victorian skirts. This didn't go as intended but I'm pleased with the final product - well, not final final since I still have to make the bodice, jewellery and figure out what I'm gonna do with my hair.
