You’ll be très jolie and so smart ✨ Back at it with my series of making every dress in Anastasia! This dress is shown for approximately 4 seconds in the movie but of course I had to make it 😂 But now with this one done… drumroll please… the FINAL dress I have to make is the grand duchess coronation gown!! I’ve been making these dresses since 2021 and this is finally the year I’m going to finish the series 🥹 Now to start looking for fabric 👀

Rhaenyra part 5: the dramatic cape/sleeve combo! The embroidery alone for these shoulders took me about 100 hours 😅😅 I have never worked so hard on a costume in my life but I am so proud of my own craftsmanship on this build 💛 All that’s left is finishing the base of the belt so I can actually sew the appliqués on but then she’ll be 100% complete! Dress form from @royaldressforms ✨

Making the Grand Duchess Anastasia gown 🥹✨ The final gown in the series is complete! 4 years of work making all of her outfits in the movie has culminated to this last dress and I’m so happy with how it turned out. Though it’s never been my favorite outfit of hers, it’s still so special to bring it to life 💛#anastasia

Results from the Astrid cosplay I made back in August! We finally got to do this AMAZING photoshoot for our Hiccup and Astrid so I wanted to compile all of my making of footage into one video with the results 🥰 My perfect hiccup @Honeyswords Photos at the end by @Olivia Edvalson ✨ #httyd #astridhofferson #hiccup

DO YOU SEE THE VISION?!?? I have never felt more pressure in my life to get a dress “right” 😅 Buckle up for this journey, it’s been a long time comin!!

What’s wrong with my sewing 🤨

Guess the niche cosplay from the fabric! No cheating my checking IG 😂

I finally did it 😭😭 so much left to do but the embroidery prison for Rhaenyra I’ve been in for two months is finally over 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

Remembered I have free will 🙂‍↕️ I’ll always have a soft spot for the Hobbit movies and yall really need to stop being so serious about them 😂 sometimes movies are just silly goofy and that’s okay ✨

I’ll be at @gameconcanada today wearing my Elizabeth Swann cosplay! I’m at booth 111 ✨ can’t wait to meet some of you there and have a chance to wear some cosplays new and old 🥰 #elizabethswann #potc

I can’t even tell you how excited I am to NOT look at red fabric for a while 😭

Just a lowkey casual outfit 😌 It was such an honor to play the Queen at the @Book Bound An Austen Affair event this weekend! Cannot get over how lovely I felt wearing this stunning ensemble from @Immortelle Ballgowns & Jewels with the perfect date @𝐊𝐢𝐤𝐢 𝐌𝐨𝐫𝐚 for all of our events over the weekend 🥰 so much more to share from this event but had to give a little fit check sneak peak ✨

Help me decide what to do on my Anastasia dress! Some additional thoughts: A- maybe TOO mirror-y and not enough sparkle? B- camera is being generous to this one and making it more sparkly than it looks irl, also takes SO much time for not as much sparkle payoff as some of the others C- love it with flash but does it look good on its own? Unsure D- maybe my favorite but still undecided E- I thought the texture of the sequins would be nice but it has too many areas that swallow the light and make it look dark

Is Renaissance Faire Anastasia a flop or not I’m undecided 🥲 I’ve been making a bunch of little projects from my fabric stash and thought this would be a fun mashup with what I had leftover!

Happy pride month! 🌈 So thankful for this community and all of the light, creativity, happiness, and joy that has come with being able to express myself around so many amazing people. Now more than ever may we come together to continue the fight for the safety and freedom that everyone deserves 💛 I made this bi pride chainmail flag top in 2023 but editing this video reminded me howwww much time i spent on this project 😮‍💨 I have a full tutorial for how to do this weave on my yt channel and all the supplies are from @TheRingLord Official ! LAURENDOESCOSPLAY will always save you some 💰 on your supplies and it’s a great way to support your local bi chainmail girly 😂 #pridemonth

Replying to @user9623191245741 SOS need opinions asap!! The @Kingdom of LoudStone ball is one week away and I’m still undecided on my outfit 😭 tickets are still available if you’re in the area of Lovettsville, Virginia and looking to have a magical weekend!

POV you’re Dimitri and we’re shopping in Paris ✨ Who recognizes these dresses from Anastasia? 👀

Happy may the 4th! ✨ I made this video a couple years ago but feel like I should bring this series back 👀 Been loving all the Star Wars on my feed today and it’s had me thinking a lot about the fandom and the grief I feel in not connecting with it as much anymore. I think I have pretty tough skin when it comes to the internet but I realized the dark side of the fandom really got to me at a certain point and I stopped posting about Star Wars entirely. I’m sure many of you wouldn’t even know I’m a Star Wars fan despite that being a huge part of my come up as a creator! I’ve really been feeling the call to make a Padme cosplay this year so I want to push myself to fight through this feeling and reconnect with the good that this community has to offer 💛
