1840s Historical Elsa

1840s Historical Elsa

I made a historical Norwegian dress (the inspiration for what we now know as bunad under folk dress) as a historically accurate Elsa costume! Frozen takes place in 1840s Norway, and I wanted to place Elsa into the time period, as though she were a real person who could have lived there, thus creating a dress for Arendelle and Queen Elsa. I researched the traditional dress of Norway, which was later adapted into modern folk dress.

Here is a making-of video and a getting dressed video!
