So I’m making Cinderella a new dress because she’s worn out her old one.  I did a lot of research on her dress, including watching many, many videos on YouTube and copying an endless number of stills to get the details just right.  But this is a costume, so should I make it a true two-piece theatre-style costume, or should I just make it Disney-store style with stretch?

I don’t know.  The fitting is happening today, and Cinderella will decide what works best for her.  But for now, here’s the muslin of her skirt with the peplum and the bow.
