Making the Grand Duchess Anastasia gown 🥹✨ The final gown in the series is complete! 4 years of work making all of her outfits in the movie has culminated to this last dress and I’m so happy with how it turned out. Though it’s never been my favorite outfit of hers, it’s still so special to bring it to life 💛#anastasia

Wow! I tell you what, wow!! Trying on my Grand Duchess Anastasia cosplay for the first time 🥹🥹 though I of course try on every piece individually many many times while I’m making a costume, I always save my reaction for when I put it all together with the hair and makeup and it truly makes my childhood dreams come true every time ✨

The way this isn’t even slightly an over exaggeration of comments I’ve gotten 1,000 times in the last few years

What’s wrong with my sewing 🤨

New ren faire layering piece unlocked 😍😍 I’m obsessed with the gold mirror finish on these scales and was lowkey mesmerized seeing how they hit the light in this video 😂 I made a similar pair of sleeves for a friend year ago so it was finally time to make a set for myself! As always I get all of my supplies from @TheRingLord Official LAURENDOESCOSPLAY will save you some cheddar and helps to support me 🥰

I’ll be at @gameconcanada today wearing my Elizabeth Swann cosplay! I’m at booth 111 ✨ can’t wait to meet some of you there and have a chance to wear some cosplays new and old 🥰 #elizabethswann #potc

Category is: Pirate weekend at the raniassance faire 🏴‍☠️ What if Elizabeth Swann became the pirate king just a little bit earlier in the story?? 👀 I was honestly kind of terrified to wear my Elizabeth cosplay at the faire for fear of damaging it but it held up like a champ!! Also perfect timing with the news that the original trio might make a comeback in Pirates of the Caribbean 6??????

Remembered I have free will 🙂‍↕️ I’ll always have a soft spot for the Hobbit movies and yall really need to stop being so serious about them 😂 sometimes movies are just silly goofy and that’s okay ✨

We don’t see eye to eye 😔 Tag your short bestie they need love all the way down there W @The_eco_cosplayer 💛💛

Just a lowkey casual outfit 😌 It was such an honor to play the Queen at the @Book Bound An Austen Affair event this weekend! Cannot get over how lovely I felt wearing this stunning ensemble from @Immortelle Ballgowns & Jewels with the perfect date @𝐊𝐢𝐤𝐢 𝐌𝐨𝐫𝐚 for all of our events over the weekend 🥰 so much more to share from this event but had to give a little fit check sneak peak ✨

This is just a dream ✨ More Anastasia bc everyone had their knickers in a twist on the last video that they couldn’t see enough of the reveal 😂 One of the most important factors to me when recreating these dresses has been what I’ve always called: the ✨Anastasia sparkle✨ the way sparkle is animated in this movie has always been so mesmerizing to me and I’m really proud of how it looks here 🥹

Happy pride month! 🌈 So thankful for this community and all of the light, creativity, happiness, and joy that has come with being able to express myself around so many amazing people. Now more than ever may we come together to continue the fight for the safety and freedom that everyone deserves 💛 I made this bi pride chainmail flag top in 2023 but editing this video reminded me howwww much time i spent on this project 😮‍💨 I have a full tutorial for how to do this weave on my yt channel and all the supplies are from @TheRingLord Official ! LAURENDOESCOSPLAY will always save you some 💰 on your supplies and it’s a great way to support your local bi chainmail girly 😂 #pridemonth

Help me decide what to do on my Anastasia dress! Some additional thoughts: A- maybe TOO mirror-y and not enough sparkle? B- camera is being generous to this one and making it more sparkly than it looks irl, also takes SO much time for not as much sparkle payoff as some of the others C- love it with flash but does it look good on its own? Unsure D- maybe my favorite but still undecided E- I thought the texture of the sequins would be nice but it has too many areas that swallow the light and make it look dark

Is Renaissance Faire Anastasia a flop or not I’m undecided 🥲 I’ve been making a bunch of little projects from my fabric stash and thought this would be a fun mashup with what I had leftover!

POV you’re Dimitri and we’re shopping in Paris ✨ Who recognizes these dresses from Anastasia? 👀

Happy may the 4th! ✨ I made this video a couple years ago but feel like I should bring this series back 👀 Been loving all the Star Wars on my feed today and it’s had me thinking a lot about the fandom and the grief I feel in not connecting with it as much anymore. I think I have pretty tough skin when it comes to the internet but I realized the dark side of the fandom really got to me at a certain point and I stopped posting about Star Wars entirely. I’m sure many of you wouldn’t even know I’m a Star Wars fan despite that being a huge part of my come up as a creator! I’ve really been feeling the call to make a Padme cosplay this year so I want to push myself to fight through this feeling and reconnect with the good that this community has to offer 💛

Actually kind of messed up that anyone watches the lord of the rings without me 😔

Yall aren’t ready for the Anastasia content I have cooking up! I finished the final Grand Duchess gown which means I’ve officially made all of her dresses 👀 a lot of people missed the reveal when I finished this “shopping in Paris” dress but this was my first time trying it on 🥰

I dare say this is the fanciest I ever felt in my life 😍 This gorgeous ensemble is from @Immortelle Ballgowns & Jewels whose mission is to make people feel beautiful and that absolutely how I felt as the queen at @Book Bound ‘s An Austen Affair last weekend! I so wish it was the norm to dress like this every day 😭
