Notes: As soon as I saw the movie I knew what I had to do. I had to wear that green dress. And so, I did :) I want to thank everyone for showing so much appreciation to the costumes I’ve been posting here. Since I am plus sized, I get a bit worried about sharing pictures and what people will say, but I’ve gotten nothing but positive feedback, so thank you to all of you (and to this lovely tumblr page, too!)

Fun fact 1: This is one of the few costumes where I don’t need a wig, wow! Well that’s a lie, I needed an extra hair piece the first time because I had JUST gotten my hair cut, then we saw the movie, and I looked at my hair like, “DAMNIT!”

Fun fact 2: In real life I don’t really wear dresses, like at all, yet somehow when it comes to cosplay I always end up picking the characters with the biggest dresses ever. ”Oh hey I really like Tiana and her green dress, of LEAVES, that should be fun, right?!” My partner loves making them though, and I love wearing them, we just both think its funny that, normally, I’m in comfy pants everyday but I never seem to pick characters with pants.

More cosplay of me :) Tiana is one of my favorite ones to wear.

Of course!
Description: After seeing Princess and the Frog for the first time and seeing a black princess (who’s awesome, by the way) I knew that I wanted to cosplay her. Then it got to the end of the movie with that green dress. I knew what I had to do after that… and so did my partner, for that matter. So she made the dress for me. It’s one of my favorite dresses to wear to the conventions I go to.
The entire thing is handmade by my partner (except the frog, thank you Disney Store), from the green leaves, to the multiple skirts (I think there’s about three), even the headband ^^ I’m terrible at sewing, so she does everything. I was a bit apprehensive about wearing it, since I am plus sized, but I’ve gotten some really positive reviews :) I hope all of you enjoy it!

Reblogging because it has over 1000 notes now and I’m kinda in shock.

Reblogging to show what else I do besides writing  :)  (now you also know what I look like I guess dum dum dummmmm!)  This is one of my favorite cosplays, made by my always lovely partner.  

Guys over 1700 notes since I last checked this post just holy what?!
