Secret Honey Elsa "Olaf's Frozen Adventure" Cosplay

Hello everyone and welcome to a new post Today, I would like to show you the beautiful “Olaf’s Frozen Adventure” Elsa costume from Secret Honey. Elsa’s Christmas dress is my favourite one of Elsa’s dresses. I have all of them, but this one is very special to me.

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 Shimamura Travel Anna Set.

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.

The Elsa "Olaf's Frozen Adventure" Costume

Now, the dress. It is absolutely stunning. I do prefer their casual dresses because they are easy to incorporate into the wardrobe and there are more possibilities to wear them. I am picky with Secret Honey’s Halloween dresses because I will probably not get much use out of them. However, I did get a few ones, like Merida’s dress, Anna’s Snow Mountain dress, Elsa’s Ice Queen dress and also Belle’s library dress. This is my favourite Elsa dress, so I had to have this… I mean, look at it:

This one is my favourite, Elsa pose and the dress from the side:

The Facts

Judging from the prices and frequency (or lack thereof) I see it available on second hand sites, I’d say it is very popular and rare nowadays.

Size and Closure

There’s a hidden zipper at the side to get the dress on. Since it is stretchy, that’s a fairly easy process (more difficult for other dresses without stretch…).

There is no shirring, but there is lacing in the back that helps you to adjust the size of the dress:

Measurements

My measurements at the time of taking the photos:

Chest: there is space for around 105 cm
Waist: goes up to 77 cm at least

Fit on me

This dress is very comfortable with one exception: The armscye is too small for me. I can feel it while wearing the dress. That happens with some Secret Honey dresses, for this one, I noticed it especially. But since the fabric is stretchy and soft, everything else is very comfortable. You can see though, that this dress is made for someone smaller than me. The sleeves and also the skirt are too short on me. I will accept all of this though, this is my favourite Elsa dress after all!

Here you can also see that the dress is fully lined in violet. I love the material of this dress by the way, the velvet falls so nicely and is super soft. Also, the dress is really flattering, I love how the dress makes my body look.

Do you like my Posts?

If my posts are helpful to you and you consider supporting the blog by helping me stay well caffeinated, I have set up a Ko-Fi account. 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 Collar

The first thing I would like to point out about this dress is the collar. It is detachable, so if you just want to wear the velvet dress, that is gorgeous in itself, you can! I find this very cool, because I adore the velvet dress so much and it makes it easier to wear it out, as an evening dress maybe, not a cosplay, while still remaining Elsa’s dress.

The fur was a bit in disorder, when I got the dress, but I tried to make it look as pretty as possible in the meantime and I think, it does look cool. Still a bit straggly, but much better. It is fake fur, btw. I love, that they incorporated the red “dots” the original dress has. They are represented with beads:

Also, here’s a first glance at the embroidery and embellishment… I adore this dress, it is stunning. They even thought about the violet little detail.

Embroidery and Crystals

The whole dress is embellished, as is the original. Here are some detail shots, the first one shows embellishment around the sleeve cuffs:

And then, there is the beautiful embroidery work around the hem. It makes the dress a bit heavy in the front, but so far, I don’t think, it has an impact on the fabric… There is more embroidery around the hem, but none on the center back panel (so the dress is lighter on the back and can hang a bit lower in the front). The dress is made from 6 panels, five of them embroidered. Here is the embroidery on the center front panel:

There’s also embroidery around the hem of the cape. I do appreciate, that they went with iridescent fabric instead of glitter on this dress. It matches the simplicity of the design and you do not end up with a mess.

Here is a close up:

I really love the dress and it’s fantastic, that Secret Honey was able to do such a beautiful version of an animated dress. This one is really perfect to me. And now, that you have seen some details of the cape, let’s have a look at it in its entirety!

The Cape

Are you ready?! That is what the dress looks like from the back:

Stunning, right? I still love it, it is perfect. I should have steamed the cape though… Sorry about the wrinkles 😉

Lift or Detach the Cape

To walk around without destroying this beautiful cape, you can detach it. It’s attached with buttons beneath the collar around the neckline.

If you do not want to detach the cape, there’s also the possibility to lift it up. As you can see, there are little loops installed at the top of the cape where it attaches to the neckline.

Along the cape, there are two buttons, so there’s also different height options.

Just use the loops for the buttons and voilà, the cape is not dragging on the floor anymore. This is a really cool detail to me, because it makes the costume much more practical, if you really wear it to a Halloween party, including collar and cape.

I absolutely adore this dress. I love wearing it when I’m at home… Not bizarre at all, it is super comfy and I like to sit around looking classy 😉 I do also own the casual version of this dress as well as the coat (the faux fur version)!

Let it Snow

In December 2024 I finally had the camera at home and it snowed… So here are a few photos from my first ever Elsa snow shooting. We tried to take pitctures of the cape in movement and it only took us two trys 🙂 We tried before and couldn’t make it work but this time, we got a beautiful shot.

And that is everything I have for you today. I hope you enjoyed this post with all the detail photos of this beautiful Secret Honey Elsa “Olaf’s Frozen Adventure” costume. I wish you a good one and hope to see you in my next post

Love,
Ella
