  • vaguely ‘medieval’-styled fluffy dress in pink and white
    • fitted pink bodice with round neckline
      • diamond pattern across bodice – looks quilted in animation, rainbow ribbons with bows at waist in the production artwork
      • white ruffled trim at neckline
      • round waist, or gentle pointed waist

      • gather at elbow, 2”-4” bell hanging free
      • lacy edge in production art
    • gathered pink bell-shaped skirt
      • ankle- to floor-length
      • three tiers
        • each tier edge with gathered white trim similar to that at neck, sleeves
      • full, but no rigid support underneath

I currently have a pink cotton for the dress, but it’s pretty thin, so I’m not sure if I want to try and source something heavier.   Her dress is pretty opulent, in an 80s cartoon princess sort of way, so I want to live up to that — perhaps a thick cotton sateen.
