Cinderella Inspired Butterfly Skirt

Hello Everyone!


As some of you have seen, I created a Cinderella inspired skirt yesterday for the premiere of Disney's new live action Cinderella movie. I got a few comments at the theater about how much people loved it. It took a few hours, but I was very proud of how it turned out!

The materials costed me a little over $40 since I had a coupon for Joann Fabric Store. I love using this store because they almost always have amazing coupons! They let you use multiple coupons and even take competitors! 


The pattern I used was Simplicity's 1427 in the 14-22 size option. 

Instead of using all four of the layers of tulle I just had 2. You should be able to get away with using 8 yards of tulle instead of the 14 5/8 it suggests. 


I found the butterflies in the floral department of Joann. They had metal clips on the back so I clipped them onto the tulle and then just hand sewed them on to the first layer of tulle using the clip. 


I used the silk hydrangea and cut the flowers off the stems and hand sewed the on the first layer as well. 


I love how it turned out! Feel free to leave pictures of your Disney inspired creations in the comments! Also if you use instagram, check out my profile for updates on my latest projects!
