Making THE "Ever After" Dress (aka the most frickin' complicated dress i've ever made lol)

Once in a while, there comes a dress that just straight-up GRABS you in a chokehold and doesn't let go until you attempt to make it. And so here we are: my attempt at making the "Breathe" dress from the movie "Ever After".
While this cosplay was SUPER intimidating and I didn't think I had the skills necessary, I decided to Futz Around and Find Out. There's no other way to see if you actually ARE capable of making something without fiving it a ding-dang shot so HERE YA GO.
This was by FAR the most detailed and intricate thing I've ever made and I am so excited to finally show you after working on it for about a month hehehe.
I hope you enjoy the chaotic process with plenty of triumphs as well as failures and thinking on my feet, lmao.
I LOVE YOU ALL!
