Axes Femme Frozen Set

Hello everyone and welcome to a new post Today, I would like to show you something from Axes Femme, the Frozen set released in 2014. We are going back in time, so to say 😀 It consists of a shirt, a blouse and a little tote bag.

I showcase one of my Disney pieces every two weeks, you can check out my other posts if you like. Last time I showed you my Secret Honey Skating Anna Dress.

If you would like to know more about the brand and about how you can get these dresses, I have got you covered in several posts. Here are some resources to start your very own Secret Honey collection.

How to buy Secret Honey: A brief overview on several ways to get your hands on Secret Honey casual pieces and costumes. Including recommendations for resellers etc.
How to buy Secret Honey with Buyee: Detailed post with many screenshots detailing how to use the service Buyee to buy Secret Honey (or other stuff, of course) from Japanese websites such as mercari.jp
Of Remakes and Fakes: There are remakes of Secret Honey (costumes in particular) that are being sold. In this post I share some thoughts about the topic as well as a photo comparison of an original Secret Honey dress and a remake (spoiler: they are different).

I also sometimes sell dresses from my collection, check out my shop or my Instagram, I usually list them there.

The Frozen Set

These three pieces were all released in 2014 by Axes Femme. The shirt and the skirt came in several colour options, the tote bag was a gift with purchase, I think. And meant for children, judging from the size 😛 Here is the whole set from the front:

Don’t ask me what happened to my hair in these pictures, I do not know ^^’ Here is the set from the side. you can either wear the shirt over the skirt or the other way round. I prefer the shirt over the skirt because the print of the shirt is visible then.

As you can see, the sleeves are a little bit short on me. That happens quite often with Japanese fashion for me since it is designed for people that are less tall than me. But: These are muuuuuch better than other ones, almost long enough 😀 Here is the set from the back:

The Facts

If you want to find these pieces you most likely will and the price will also be ok. I do not have the original prices though, so I can only judge what I paid, which was not much in my opinion.

Size and Closure

Since the shirt is made from a stretchy material, it will fit several sizes up to M, maybe small L. So we will discuss the skirt here, it is the smaller piece. The skirt closes with a hidden zipper and a hook and an eye at the top. There is a shirring panel in the back:

Measurements Skirt

(Amateur-)measured with shirring extended:

Waist: 74 cm max.

Fit on me

I do like both the shirt and the skirt, they are very comfy. The skirt is on the shorter side on me and also the sleeves of the shirt are one or two cm too short. But it is not bad at all. What I am not too keen on is how the stripes on the shirt look over my bust. I think, it would look better on me if I’d loose another few centimetres over my bust.

However, my content is and will stay free for you to enjoy whenever you need information about specific Disney dresses or just want to have a look at different possibilities.

The Frozen Skirt

Let us start with having a look at the skirt in detail. It does not really look like it on first sight, but it actually is quite detailed. Here it is on my dress form.

The Waistband

The waistband is very beautiful, I like it a lot. There are shiny buttons, chains, rhinestones, lace etc.

The most obvious is the buttons with the two chains hanging off of them. there is a silver chain and a chain with rhinestones. The buttons are quite detailed and done in silver with a brown plastic rhinestone in the centre:

The chains are actually detachable, the buttons aren’t, however. Here is a close up of one of the pretty buttons:

The rest of the waistband is decorated with a chocolate brown lace. I really like this cool blue tone together with the warmer brown. Very pretty colours together:

The Print

There is a diamond-shaped print on the skirt in brown with silhouettes of Anna, Elsa, their crowns and some snow flakes. Stripes with Anna and Elsa alternate. Also, the stripes are the right way up or upside down, that also alternates. The skirt is also pleated, btw. The pleats are folded towards a centre and in the centre there is something like an inverted box pleat:

The colours on the photo above and the one coming next are not accurate btw. It was very hard to photoshop. The other pictures give a much better reference for colour!

Here is a closer look at the different motives in the print. They are sometimes upside down… I don’t know how I feel about Anna being upside down to be honest…

The Hem

I really like the hem of this skirt, I love velvet so much. Unfortunately it photographs badly, but on the full view pictures you can see the texture and shine pretty well. The velvet hem is decorated with brown lace again, which picks up the detail from the waistband, pulling everything together.

The lace at the bottom is not sewn to the velvet, it is sewn to the lining of the skirt. Here is a look at it up close:

As you cann guess now probably, the skirt has two layers. There is a shiny and slippery lining which is nice to wear as well as the fashion fabric layer over top.

Set in Action

The Frozen Tote Bag

Let us continue with the bag. As I mentioned, I think this was a gift with purchase. It seems to have come with a little comic as well that I do not own. It is made from a cloth that reminds me of the table cloths my grandma used to have. Somehow waxy? No idea how this is called.

On the front, there is a nice print that picks up the prints on the other pieces that Axes Femme released in their 2014 Frozen collection.

In the back, there is a print of the Axes Femme logo:

The bag has no closure, no lining and no inner pockets:

But I do love the print! It is done in three different colours: white, brown and turquoise. There are also Anna, Elsa and Olaf. Olaf is a bit hidden, but I will show him to you in a detail shot:

And here are a few detail shots of the print. Olaf is stannding in a heart made from snow flakes which is a very cute detail in my opinion!

The Frozen Shirt

Now let’s talk about the shirt. I do love the colour 😉 I love wearing black. Here is a little close up of the shirt on me:

The Collar

I do like all the thoughts that were put into this collar. It is very pretty, made from an off-white chiffon. There are ties to tie a bow with that are also decorated. Beneath the bow are more details, stay tuned:

Here is a close up of the decorations on the ties. There are embroidered snow flakes in a cream coloured thread as well as a few rhinestones in different sizes:

Beneath the bow is a little fake button placket, decorated with non-functional pearl buttons as well as ruffles on both sides. The black jersey is separated from the chiffon with velvet trim as well as black lace that is gathered:

The Print

The shirt has an interesting print. There are stripes, created with individual snow flakes. But there are also different motives around the bottom of the shirt. The print is only on the front, the back and sleeves are not printed at all.

Here are a few detail shots of the print. You may recognise the silhouettes of Anna and Elsa as well as Olaf from the tote bag. The print is mainly done in a light colour, but, there are little glittery golden snow flakes as well. The stripes are done in a light blue:

I will leave you with one last photo of the whole set 🙂 On this one, I am wearing the skirt over the shirt, so you can see how this option looks as well. I do like it a lot, it is very comfy.

And that is everything I have for you today. I hope you enjoyed this post and enjoyed having a look at all of the pretty details of this Axes Femme Frozen Set together with me. I wish you a good one and hope to see you in my next post

Love,
Ella
