Earlier this month Brittney<\/a> stopped by with her fox Playtime Dress tutorial<\/a>. Now she has a tutorial on changing the Fairy Tale Dress into something different. For the special girl in your life who wants to be Princess Rapunzel, you can make her dreams come true! Here is Brittney. Enjoy!<\/em><\/p>\n

My daughter’s favorite princess is Rapunzel. It was her birthday and we were going to a princess play, so I decided she had to have a dress to wear. I thought the Fairy Tale Dress<\/a> would work out perfectly, and it did!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Oliver<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

First of all, I went one size up to make a roomier and less fitted dress. Let’s get started shall we?<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

For the bodice, cut out two fronts, one on the fold and cut one down the center, making it two. Note that we won\u2019t be doing any of the darts on any of the bodice pieces.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Rapunzel<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

For the sleeves I used the Library Dress<\/a> short sleeves. First, measure the bottom of the sleeve and make a pattern piece the approximate length by three inches wide for the cuff. Then, cut the sleeve pattern in half and add a few inches to the center to give it more fullness. The more you add, the more puffy it will be.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Rapunzel<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

On the front bodice that is still in one piece, make marks one inch from the center and two inches apart. I made mine in pencil, but made the marks darker when editing to be more visible.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Rapunzel<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Fold the center of the cut front bodice 1″ to the wrong side. Note that I made a size 5, you may need to adjust for different sizes, just what ever looks right to you.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Rapunzel<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Cut ten lengths of ribbon, layering them, making sure to line up the cross point on your center fold.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Rapunzel<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Since I was actually using this blue as a Cinderella dress for twin #2, I didn’t get a great shot of this step. To hold the ribbon for sewing, I used Washi tape down the center fold and just outside of my seam allowance on each side.<\/p>\n

Lay the folded front bodice pieces, right side up, edgestitch down the fold, then 1\/4″ from the fold.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Rapunzel<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Follow the next steps to assemble the dress, until it is time for the sleeves.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Rapunzel<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Starting in the center, sew lengths of ribbon on each sleeve.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Rapunzel<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Trim off the excess ribbon.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Rapunzel<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Fold the sleeve and cuff in half, sew with a 1\/2″ seam allowance.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Rapunzel<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Gather the top and bottom of the sleeve. Fold the cuff in half.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Rapunzel<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Distribute the gathering evenly, with right sides facing, attach the cuff.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Rapunzel<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Turn the sleeve right side out and lightly press the cuff.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Rapunzel<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

With right sides facing, sew in the sleeve.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Rapunzel<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Finish the dress, per the instructions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
