Our Merida B Brave Inspired costume is made out of a teal blue crepe satin. It is designed to give a long flowing sleek look to the wearer and is custom patterned to ensure that. It has a nice wide neckline with striped ivory material carefully pleated around the neckline and matching ruffle at the edge of the sleeves. The sleeves are custom patterned as well to include ivory puffed fabric (stuffed) to accent the design and trimmed with crepe satin strips edged in gold trim. The top of the sleeve mirrors Merida's off the shoulder look and has matching trims and crepe satin to accent. One sleeve has a "target" in gold cording affixed (see Picture 2).

The hem is the most amazing part which takes an incredible 36 hours to embroider. The artwork for the hem was custom drawn by designer Heather Rosales and repeats itself 9 times around the skirt. The artwork contains slender celtic bear-like figures with crystal eyes and celtic interlocking paneled around in a light turquoise thread on top of the teal skirt. The material under the embroidery is sewn shiny side out to add contrast to the rest of the dress. There is also gold piping as a border above and below the embroidery.

This costume comes with a zipper or for an additional $45.00 you can get a lace-up back (fully grommetted) with gold cording. Merida's ghillies can also be purchased seperately.

Merida's belt is made of real cow leather and has been dyed a medium brown and embossed with celtic interlocking (not painted). The belt buckle has celtic design and three horses to symbolize Merida's horse she loves to ride throughout the movie. Belt buckle is made of pewter. Belt can drape and can be punched with holes to your specification. Belt is sold separately for $129.95. The belt shown in the first picture on the model was not made by us, but by our client and is not included in the listing.

Merida's costume also comes with a tartan sash to be worn at the belt in striking matching plaid to her dress.

Sometimes looking at other versions online can be deceiving. Here's what makes our costumes different and worth their cost:

1. Structuring within the costume, twill, interfacing, and extra efforts to make sure seams and materials don't unravel. We take the extra step to use all those wonderful tools like interfacing, twill tape, bias tape, and more so that everything is reinforced to last for years.

2. Our skirts do not have elastic waist bands. Some companies or individuals use this to cut time and cost. Our skirts in our costumes have a real waist band with hooks and eyes like a couture fashion garment.

3. We don't skip the modesty panels. When our costumes expand sizing or are adjustable they have modesty panels to cover the skin in both skirts and bodices.

4. We use the finest materials. Bridal satins, velvets, brocades, silks, and more.

5. Our costumes are lined. Not just with cheap lining, we self line which means the outer fabrics and inner fabrics are of the same quality. This helps with longevity and wear on your costume.

6. Design. Design is our strength, we work out the bugs and get you the finest closest version to film, play, movies, and characters. But we also can do budget versions of our costumes if you do need to cut corners.
