Secret Honey Belle Rose Dress

Hello everyone, welcome back to another post. Today, I would like to show you this Belle Live Action Rose Dress from Secret Honey. I bought this on a whim, but now that I have it I do really love it. It is a beautiful design.

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

The Belle Rose Dress

I paired this dress with the Belle Little Town Blouse from the Little Town set that I already showed you a few years ago. I thought it is quite fitting and like that, I can get more wear out of my blouse, it is now matching three different Belle dresses. Here is the dress on my dress form:

This dress originally cost you 16000 yen plus taxes. It was released in July 2017. Here it is from the side:

And here you can see the dress from the back:

Sizing and Closure

The dress closes with a hidden side zipper. There is a shirring panel in the back and at the bottom there is also a lace up detail. The dress is not very roomy in the bust area though, 90 cm at best. The waist is a bit more decently sized, there was still room on my dress form that has a waist of 70 cm.

Here you can see that my dress form really needs the fully extended shirring panel at the top, but there is plenty of room around the waist:

The Bodice

Let us have a look at the bodice first. The bodice has a double layer of fabric that is laced close on one side of the dress. The straps appear to be two separate pieces as well, but they are sewn together, so you can’t make them longer or shorter.

As you can see, the lacing gapes a bit over the bust of my dressform. I had to loosen it quite a bit to be able to close the dress on the side.

Here is a close up of the straps and you can see the seamline where they are sewn together. The ribbons are just decoration, not functional:

There is a pretty patterned blue fabric beneath the main layer of the bodice that gives the neckline a bit of interest:

The Skirt

The skirt is very pretty, it is pleated all around the waistline:

It has two layers, the fashion layer and the lining layer. The striped ruffles of the lining are meant to be seen. I need to iron mine a little bit.

The Fabric Print

There is a really cute print on the fabric, that is so subtle that you miss it at first sight. Hidden between all the roses are a few characters of the movie. Here is Mrs. Potts together with Chip:

We can also find a print of Lumière on the dress:

Last but not least there is also Cogsworth:

And that is everything I have for you today. I hope you enjoyed having a look at the details of this Belle Rose Dress together with me. Thanks a lot for reading and I hopefully see you in my next post.

Love,
Ella
