Hello, people of the internets! It’s been so long! 😭 I originally finished this project in May, but it was too warm to film the reveal and I decided to delay it. I filmed a lot more in that period of time, but work has been so busy that I haven’t been able to publish anything! This video is the second in the Briar Rose updated series (in which I update Aurora’s peasant outfit from the Disney film Sleeping Beauty), and it features a 1950s wool skirt (spoiler alert: IT’S EPIC!). I hope you enjoy it!
More info below the photos.
