Belle - Disney's Beauty and the Beast
*Gallery updated with new photos by Dale Ramp!*
Film and video games: Disney's Beauty and the Beast released in 1991. Belle also appeared in the 2002 video game Kingdom Hearts and it's 2005 sequel Kingdom Hearts 2.
"Belle is as lovely as her name implies, but her natural, unaffected beauty is far more than skin deep. An intelligent, avid reader Belle yearns for faraway places and exciting adventures. She's a loyal, loving daughter, and when the beast finally wins her trust, she gives him all of her kindness and patience and then realizes she has also given him her heart. With her innner strength and outward beauty, Belle is a young woman who can - and does make things happen." -disneyprincess.com
About the costume:
The dress is an official Disney Princess costume with alterations by my mother and I.
Originally the gown had a pink bow on the front and a pin with Belle's picture on it. I removed them and my mom replaced it with three pearls.
The gloves were purchased seperately and I dyed them yellow using Rit liquid dye. My mom bought me the shoes and I purchased a petticoat to make the gown billow out. I wear real pearl earrings.
I currently wear a wig purchased from Cosworx. In the older photos, I am wearing hair extensions.
