Elena of Avalor and Isabel

Elena and Isabel had talked about being Elena and Isabel of Avalor for awhile.  It's a Disney show with a Hispanic heroine, Elena, who becomes queen of the country of Avalor, and her little sister is Isabel.  (I'd just like to point out that I named them before the show came out.) I thought it was hilarious that they wanted to dress up like them, so of course I agreed to make them the dresses. 


I even painted Isabel's shoes for it. 

We had a ton of fun taking pictures at this old Spanish style building in Wichita.  It used to be a Masonic Lodge and now is part of an Assisted Living/Medical Facility.
Too bad it doesn't work to get close-ups and the whole effect of the building at once.  Well, I guess maybe from the street in front, but there was a car crash and cops there when we were taking pictures, so we didn't really want to go there.

I know I put way too many pictures on here, but it was really fun. 



















Elena and Isabel are so beautiful!!



I thought I matched their costumes really well.  

Especially since I just cobbled a couple different patterns together and made up the rest.  My favorite type of sewing!!
