Beauty and the Beast

OHAI GAIZ.
Our fall musical this year is Beauty and the Beast. And I was inspired recently to make a design for a more modern version of Belle's dress in the ballroom scene for a rewrite of BATB I'm making called 'Izzy and the Beast'. Aren't I creative?
So I made my design in my sketchbook (Which will be posted on my deviantART account at some point in time) and decided to Google the things in the sketch I made,which consists of a dress, shoes, a necklace, earrings, a ring, and a hairstyle. The links I Googled can be found here (with "modifications" after each link according to my sketch):
http://www.polyvore.com/gold_yellow_flower_girl_dresses/thing?id=24456500 - Imagine this dress with more of a bubble skirt, strapless, and with a sweet little bit of lace peeking out at the bottom. Ya like? :)
http://www.sharplily.com/accessories/sam-libby-ballet-flats-3499/ - I'm a big fan of flats. I used to have a pair of black patent leather (I think?) ones just like this pair, which is why I think I was so drawn to them. Plus they're super cute.
http://www.uktights.com/product/761/kunert-40-denier-black-opaque-tights - The tights are mostly because I always thought it always looked a little chilly in the part of the movie after the dance between Belle and the Beast where they go out onto the veranda, and the dress I chose above is so much shorter than the gown Belle wears in the film, (Which, might I mention, I'm just the slightest bit in love with :D)

It's a candelabra. Like Lumiere! And come on, who didn't love the candlestick who was the ONLY character in the entire film with a legitamite French accent?
http://www.stylehive.com/bookmark/etsy-spoon-and-fork-earrings-137238 - I chose these earrings to represent one of my favorite songs ever, Be Our Guest. The tune is catchy, the dance is irresistible, and the lyrics are so much FUN. And it's about singing cutlery and dancing food. What could possibly represent it better than spoon and fork earrings?
http://www.etsy.com/listing/37377251/teapot-ring - Lookit that! Mrs. Potts and Chip all rolled into one adorable ring! I adore this. It's so sweet and simple, yet intricate at the same time. Very pretty.
For a hairdo like Belle's in the ballroom scene, I'd go with either curling your hair and pinning a few sections back or a bun that looks messy yet elegant at the same time (like this one: http://www.hdofblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/natural-curly-hair-updos-15.jpg).

Okay guys. Well that's it from me for today. Look out for more outfits inspired by Beauty and the Beast (the movie and the stage show) soon! I'm thinking of doing Belle's opening number outfit next?

Peace out guys :D
