Since this is a Tangled blog (for now, anyway), and because I was having a strange amount of trouble coming up with a sewing anecdote for "G"...
I'm seriously considering doing a Mother Gothel costume in the future as well as Rapunzel. Physically, I'm actually much more like Gothel (being tall as I am) and her dress is both gorgeous and FIFTY TIMES EASIER TO SEW.
No, really. It would require a lot of fabric, but there are a lot patterns out there that I could follow verbatim. I could probably have it done in two weeks once I found the material.
As staggering as all the detail work on Rapunzel's dress is, though, I do love what the fact of it says about the writers of Tangled. I mean, what else did she have to do besides hand-embroider, ribbon, and lace, every last corner of her dress?
Mother Gothel's beautiful dress says a lot about her vanity too. I really think she's one of the most insidious Disney villains ever. I sort of love the fact that all of her evil was the product of her own two hands, and not any magic spells or powerful sidekicks. She put a lot of work into achieving her goals! And I think you could write a psychology dissertation on her relationship with Rapunzel.
So that's my lazy Friday post. Thank you all who have been following and leaving comments. I'm glad you're enjoying!
Once you figure it out, let me know... I'd like to make one too!
ReplyDeleteImportant thing that must be considered when choosing this type of bathroom accessories is how it can stand up to regular use. The chrome and stainless steel varieties are known to be the less hassle to clean since they are defiant to dirt, kitchen tap and debris that can be wiped away easily with cloth. These types of materials for bath tap can maintain their luster and shine especially when regularly cleaned compared to other finishes that could become dull over time.
