Bella's obsession with this dress has paid off. The more she makes it the more beautiful it is. I have seen all the versions and I hope that it is already the last version, because I expect much more period dresses from her.

The clasps were a genius idea. Seriously, this is more than a dress, its problem solving you can wear

Actually most historically accurate victorian ballgowns had many buttons and clasps to hold everything in place so I'm extra pleased with this dress

I think this dress is actually more beautiful than the movie version, because I know it’s real, it’s a real dress with no stage shortcuts or cinematic touch ups. I’ve watched every video in this series as it’s come out and I am in total awe of you.

Pretty sure part of the appeal of recreating this dress was because it wasn't made with a ton of short cuts for the film either. Bella talked a lot about figuring out what tools/fabric/patterns and whatnot to use based on what the real dress would have used in order to do what it did/based on interviews!

And how you've solved all the problems...so very impressive. But the effect is entirely worth it, you've made magic. Great job!

This is by far the most beautiful version of the Cinderella gown, that I have seen on KZread. One of the things I always notice when people are making gowns are how well they are fitted. And this is just wonderful. Beautiful work:)

Amazing, so beautiful. It's magical. Anyone else get anxiety with the candles being so close to the dress.

The development of your skills from four years ago, wow - look out for the next four!! But I'm trying to think what could possibly top this immaculate replica of Cinderella's ball gown... Definitely anticipating tears of wonder & nostalgia when I see your dance scene x

Oh my God, if it wasn't for fairy godmother, Cinderella would've had to manually put on so many layers😭 It's absolutely brilliant you're so talented 💕

Your hard work has paid off, my friend. Your dress is so freaking beautiful, and it’s definitely the closest I’ve ever seen a replica looking to the original. And the fact that you made it all by yourself is really inspiring. I’m so glad I got to watch this long but awesome process from the beginning.

If somebody tells me clothing making isn't artistic I'll show them this, the whole process, this is ART! wow 💜

I usually don't comment much but...this is so breakthtakingly stunning. Not only the hard work that's gone into the process, but the final product is incredible. I hope you feel so so proud of what you have made

I love watching the ruffles spin when you’re dancing. It’s mesmerizing. Also fitting in those clasps was amazing. Like completely brilliant!

Столько труда вложено в изделие!Платье -великолепно! Точно такое,как в фильме!Умничка!😍😍😍

Congratulations, Bella ! This premiere was magical. I remember, when the Cinderella movie came out, how mesmerised I was watching this beautiful work of art on screen. It was so hard to find informations about it at the time, let alone replicas. I think it was during the summer of 2016 when I found you on Etsy and Instagram ; you were twirling in these enormous petticoats, in a garden, and I thought "Alright ! Something incredible is happening in this lady’s atelier.” (I was so happy to see you comment under my replica, it was something about the first layer of the dress - the silk crepeline.) After a couple of years, you started uploading your Nutcracker Series and little by little, we could see more of your wonderful creations and thoughtful research - and overall great personality. It’s amazing to have creators like you on KZread. Watching you create this gorgeous Cinderella gown was a fantastic experience (which my mother shared too, though neither of us are native English speaker - hence my terrible grammar.) This movie came out when I really needed to be remembered that the world can be a beautiful place and I cherish everything about it. Though it might be strange to word it like that, it changed my life in many ways. Thank you so much for sharing this adventure with us. It truly means the world and you look absolutely beautiful in your gown. A true Cinderella - or should I say Cinderbella. And your very own Fairy Godmother ! Looking forward to seeing your dance. Cheers to future adventures ! Lots of love. M.

Literally the best recreation of that gown I have ever seen -- this looks exactly like the original! Amazing!!

The movement of the skirts are perfect! I’m glad you went back in and altered it, because now, it’s truly perfect. Watching that thing move is mesmerising!

Absolutely amazing! I also would like to thank you Bella for introducing me to dress clasps!!! They are my new favorite thing! 🥰

I have a question, is it possible to wear this dress and not be overwhelmed by the urge to dramatically run everywhere? Like, "oh I'm thirsty, better dramatically run to the drinks table and grab a beverage" "is that litter over there, let me dramatically run to it and pick that up". It's INCREDIBLE!

Holy shit. That came out even better than I imagined. Incredible

This is absolutely breathtaking! 100x times BRAVO!!!! So much research, time, effort, skill, patience and money went into this! 🌟 You are an inspiration.

I really love how supportive your family is.

the shots that are throught the falling and rippling yumissima fabric are so incredibly beutiful in a dreamlike way!!! really looking forward to the dancing video!!

oh wow… i’ve been OBSESSED with the making process of this dress and my goodness! it’s not even my dress and it’s everything i was hoping it would be and more😭

I screamed when she started twirling omg. The dress is gorgeous, it’s my childhood dream 😭😭

Bella, I've watched this several times. The opening tears me up! The whole thing is wonderful! 💝🦋

.. it looks exactly like the movie's dress... just WHAT. I've watched the whole process and still cannot believe how flawless it turned out

This is probably the most movie accurate creation of this dress I think I’ve seen. Now I just wanna go spin around in a ball gown.

this dress, since i saw this movie when i was a kid, has been my dream dress. to see someone make it, and to see the magic in real life, and all the love and care that goes into a garment like this, it makes it that much more dreamy. im so glad you decided to make this series, because it seriously has made me so happy.

Watching this journey has been a trip. I think you will be forever cemented in my mind as the masochistic Cinderella lady on account of All. Those. Hems! The end result is amazing, an absolutely STUNNING gown!

The swoosh of that skirt is UNRIVALED!! Well done! ❤️👏🦋

Hope you wear this at all the occasions! It is gorgeous, and it is amazing to see your talent and hours of work culminate in an outfit that looks absolutely magical.

The sparkle, the frills, the color Breathtaking oh my lord

Thank you for bringing us along this magical journey. Everything just builds up until this ultimate moment of grandeur. Totally worth the wait

After months of watching you create and recreate and problem solve and recreate...etc. , I have to say... “You nailed it”. Congratulations. You look beautiful just like the movie. The choice of fabrics was spot on. Thank you for bringing me along on this Journey.

Wow, Bella, This is just absolutely inspiring, you’ve seemingly done the impossible. That is something I strive to do myself, and to see others out there like you blowing the water from the seas is absolutely encouraging and surreal. You’re such a role-model, and I only hope to somehow work with you one day! Thank you for bringing us all on this journey, It was an absolute privilege!!! 💖

It moves like a dream!! And all the strategically placed clasps to keep everything in place are a such a simple and clever trick, well done!

This is absolutely amazing. I've seen every video about the creation process and I'm still in awe watching how that gorgeous fabric moves around. Stunning.

It is absolutely stunning! I can't even, it just makes me want to cry tears of joy! You did such an incredible job!

Its beautiful!!! I've never wanted a big wedding dress but this. This is what I would love to wear to my wedding

I cant wait ! You look beautiful in that thing ! I mean seriously - please tell me you also managed to find or make slippers that look similar to *the* glass slippers .

Seeing how you assembled it all together was amazing, I’ve not seen anyone else use the clips like that to keep everything in place. My husband kept smiling at me because I was ‘eeeeee’ ing at different parts of the video 😄

To be honest, that gown is so beautiful, elegant and fantastic! And, I didn't notice that a gown have so many layers on it. And you're good at making it, good job!

Truly one of the most beautiful and amazing dresses I have ever seen! Thank you so much for documenting all of it and sharing!!

As a fellow lover of the live action version, THIS IS BEAUTIFUL. Thank you for sharing the process with all of us.

I’ve been waiting for this gown since last year and it’s finally done. Congrats Bella for making an excellent work! You have totally achieved the watercolor effect ❤️

Utterly amazing. So worth waiting and watching you make this. And the way the crystals caught the lights like fireworks the way it all came together I swear you have magical hands and talent like a fairy godmother and even the hooks are stunning.

It turned out beautiful. The clasps were genius to keep the skirts from moving. Very good idea. Can't wait to see the full dance video and new sewing projects you come up with.

Omg if I ever get married I can only hope to find a dress have as beautiful and magical as this. Wow!

Currently the best part of this is all the pre-hype in the comments! So happy for you Bella Mae!

I have been watching videos of ball gowns for days now.... this is hands down the most beautiful skirt I think I have ever seen. The flow and colors during movement are nothing short of spectacular. The engineering was also, nothing short of genius. Thank you for sharing what is obvious a very sincere passion and talent with the world.

I found your channel when KZread recommended the dance scene video. I watched this video next, then went through and watched the whole playlist on how you made this dress. Watching this video again after watching all of your explanations and all of the work that went into it, I am even more amazed and even more impressed by how incredible this dress is! It came out so beautifully, you really nailed the floaty watercolor effects, and the way it flows and moves is amazing!! Wow!

This dress turned out absolutely magical. Beyond gorgeous. And that dance, whew, AMAZING! 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿

I’m so unbelievably in awe of your work. This is beyond phenomenal and it’s been wonderful to see your progress as it’s all come together!

It looks glorious! And the skirt remake was totally worth it, the glimpses you get of the underside are much more mesmerizing now

You look like a whole different person, with the hair and make up, and this utterly utterly stunning gown. Beautiful!

Oh my goodness it’s amazing to see all your hard work pay off. The dress looks beautiful and you were so smart in all your ideas! And the dancing looks like a dream come true!!! I can’t wait to see the full dance next week! Congratulations on finishing this huge project 💙

What an amazing creation!!!! Gotta say though, I was sweating bullets when the gown came so close to the candles!!!🤪🤪

the black background, fabric throwing, cgi replication scene for the twirling transformation bit was honestly so so perfect

I can't get over the way it moves! It's beyond gorgeous in that light. I keep replaying that bit 😭😭😭

Such a beautiful dress! So glad you fixed all the flounces. It flows so smoothly now. It is perfect!

This is so beautiful. It’s been really fun being able to keep up with this project from the very start.

Watching it move is just magical! The product of all that work you put into making the petticoat just perfect :)

It looks amazing! You did a fantastic job troubleshooting the movement of the skirt and petticoat! It moves amazingly and the shape of the skirt is fantastic!

The dress is absolutely stunning! Both on its own and as a replica. I hope you'll get to wear it on many an occassion

Breathtakingly beautiful! I've been here since the beginning of this dress and still can't believe how perfect it turned out!!! Well done! 😊

You totally did it! You got the flow perfectly. It is gorgeous.

Oh my god this was everything I’d imagined and more. Such a satisfying reveal, beautifully crafted my goodness!!!!!!!

Truly amazing how much skill and knowledge you have earned yourself without formal training. This is an example of why the internet is so powerful. The dress, the technique, your tenacity... everything about this project is awe inspiring.

I've been here since the beginning of this project and seeing the finished product is soooooo satisfying. Amazing job! The amount of work that went into this dress shows how passionate you are when it comes to something you love and enjoy. Can't wait to see what other projects you have in store! Also you should do more GRWM videos. It's like asmr for your eyes lol.

Bella recreated the hell out of that, wow!!! I am so so amazed 😍😍😍😍

I found your channel with the first of this series and I was SO excited. It was a prophesy coming true. When I watched Cinderella in theaters and saw this dress, I remember thinking, "I can't WAIT to see an amazing sewist/cosplayer research this and make it. It needs to exist in the fan-world. I hope I see pictures when someone does it." AND WOW! To see the whole process of one person making it start to finish. The problem solving and research and skill. Standing ovation. Incredible achievement!

This absolutely gorgeous!! Amazing and beautiful job!!
