    To be fair it sounds like they had their hearts set on Emma Watson to be Belle and she might have possibly twisted their arms to let her make a lot of the creative decisions. However it happened they ended up letting her make decisions not only with the dress, but even with the story. Honestly, they made a huge mistake letting the actress do anything but act. That girl is 👏UN👏ED👏U👏CAT👏ED👏 when it comes to corsets and it drives me nuts!! 🙄 Almost right at the beginning of this video, it’s even mentioned how one of the main purposes of corsets back then was to evenly distribute the weight in a way that all of those heavy, extravagant skirts were comfortably supported on the body. The fact that she refused to wear a corset completely tied their hands at creating an accurate Belle dress. So tragic, and all as a result of her ignorance. Edit: Maybe you already knew all that I just realized, lol 😂 But as you can probably tell I had some feelings to get out on the subject haha

    Literally every single dress made by ‘amateur’ costumers and clothes makers is better than the professionally created, multi-million-dollar production funded, Disney-sanctioned mess pretending to be an iconic ball gown. HOWEVER: I also think that at large the blame for that mess pretending to be an iconic ball gown falls on the uninformed woman who wore it. Dresses of this caliber need structure and support, and seeing as Emma refused to wear any types of structural support garments (ie a very basic, modern corset), making a proper, functioning dress was nearly impossible.

    Exactly! And her reasoning was just that it "supported" unrealistic beauty standards. NO IT DIDN'T. It gave the dress support to keep the wearer's back from breaking over the weight! It's support to save your back from breaking over the weight of the dress! I swear Emma needs to get her facts right. It's dress support, not "supporting" unrealistic beauty standards. I love Emma because of Harry Potter, but definitely not from Beauty and the Beast

And the fact that its made mostly of lace is another positive. You really did your homework. Keep up your wonderful creativity and show.it to the world.

    I understand that you think her comment was disrespectful to everyone who put effort into the remake and the dress in the remake, but there were a lot of serious problems with not only the design of the dress itself, but also who had say in what the dress looked like. Emma Watson *refused* to wear a corset, and the director pushed the designer to comply to her wishes even though the designer disagreed (and knew her way around historically accurate pieces). Also, the designer didn’t really have much say in the final piece at all, since the director insisted that the final design be based off a drawing done by his daughter. That seems more disrespectful to the designer than the comments here. Could Cupcake Queen have said it nicer? Yeah, probably. But that doesn’t negate the flaws with the design and the politics behind how it turned out. costumevault.blogspot.com/2017/06/burning-question-whats-wrong-with.html?m=1

    Belle's dress in the live action movie was, yes very dissapointing, however i do not think it was entirely the designer's fault. The dresses all the side caracters wore and even the extras were gorgeous, creative and historically accurate. The whole design of Belle's dress had to be changed in very little time do to Emma Watson refusing to wear a corset as a "feminist statement". The designers probably did the best they could with what they had. A lot of statements were poorly made with no actual education and understanding behind it. The production crew did not handle the situation properly and it resulted in a disappointment in the designer field and the movie as a whole. The dress you created by yourself looks stunning and definetly could pass as the official live action Belle dress. Way better than what the producers went for in the movie.

    So I went to the Disney exhibition held at the Seattle MOPOP museum, and I saw the Belle dress that was used in the movie. I was already disappointed when I saw the preview of the movie, but it was even more disappointing to see it in person. It's not about "historical accuracy," it simply looked SO unimpressive and cheap, dare I say. I was there with my friend and she called the dress "pedestrian," and I have to agree. THANK YOU for creating the version I wanted to see!!

    many people think that belles dress wasn't impressive enough and that Emma Watson was overpaid for designing a historical wrong and so 'lame' dress, but I think it perfectly fits the Belle she portrayed. Cinderellas gown from the live-action movies was needed to make her stand out from everyone else because the prince liked her due to her look, Belle didn't need that since her and the Beast were also attracted to their personalities. I get the fantasy behind a majestic gown, but I like that Belles dress stands for being different from others - not because she reads books or desperatly tries to be different, but because she doesn't like a person because of their money or looks, like many others were.
