Disney Bound

In December we are going to Disney World. I’m a huge fan. And actually today I need to be making my dinner reservations for the week we will be there.

I have plenty of Disney themed clothing. A couple of skirts that I made which have princesses and some t-shirts I have collected and a dress with the seven dwarves that I sewed last year. I have never done
Disneybounding though.

If you aren’t familiar with Disneybounds, it is when you dress in a way that reminds you of a character or that is similar to that character in some way. You cannot dress exactly like the characters or make exact costume replicas to wear in the parks because it is against Disney rules for good reason.

We will be in the parks for 6 days and in a perfect world I will have 6 outfits to wear which are appropriately themed. I don’t know which parks we will visit on each day yet but my spreadsheet has already been started. If you want, I’ll show it to you as it gets more information and we figure out what we are doing. Don’t worry, I don’t overplan but I do like to have an outline of the week so we make sure we get our favorite things in.

Anyway, I have some ideas for the outfits I want to make but I am second guessing myself for some of them.

Cinderella is blue and I thought it might be fun to make a shirt dress that is maxi length with buttons only to the waist so I could wear it open over pants like in the picture above. I bought some fabric for the narrow legged pants I wanted to make but it has sequins and Amy and Maggie think that is a bad idea based on comfort and having to wear the outfit for at least 12 hours. So, now I don’t know what to do.

By the way, Brianamatopeia on Instagram does some awesome Disneybounds.

Bo Peep has an awesome outfit in the new Toy Story movie. narrow legged pants with a polka dot wrap that can be used as a cape or a skirt. I have some polka dot satin in my Spoonflower cart right now.

Also in my Spoonflower cart is a fabric that is printed to look like Spaceship Earth and I was thinking a fitted bodice with a full skirt and crinoline would be fun out of that to wear on one of the Epcot days.

I also was thinking of using the yellow bustle skirt as a sort of Belle skirt with a white t-shirt and yellow lace jacket. I need to find a red rose pin or hair accessory I think.

That’s 4. I need 2 more…
