Secret Honey Snow White Dress

Hello everyone and welcome to a new post Today I would like to talk about my Secret Honey Snow White Dress. I love the comic print they used around the hem, it is unique among their dresses. We will go into all the details later in this post.

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 Cinderella Live Action 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.

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 Snow White Dress

I adore this dress, it has so many layers and details and the design is so nice! Here it is from the front:

This dress has a really good cut in my opinion, the waist sits on my natural waist. It is just on the smaller side offering not that much room in the bust area. Here it is from the side:

Here is the dress from the back. As you can see, the skirt has a lot of volume on its own. There are several layers with tulle, ruffles etc. That is very nice.

The Facts

Haven’t seen this dress lately, but I think, you should be able to find it for a good price. It is rarer than the peasant dress, but not as rare as the winter version.

Size and Closure

As I already mentioned, I think this is one of the more flattering cuts Secret Honey offers. Like all of their dresses, this one is fully lined. The dress closes with an invisible zipper in the back:

At the sides, there’s two panels with shirring to help adjust the size at the waist:

The sleeves are also elasticated but only a bit. For me, they are ok, but I would love them to be 2 or 3 cm wider for them to be really comfortable.

Measurements

(Amateur-)measured with shirring extended:

Chest: ca. 92 cm
Waist: ca. 73 cm

Fit on me

I do like the fit of this dress on me. I would love the sleeves to be a little bit bigger, but other than that, I really like it. The bodice is long enough to sit on my natural waist, the skirt is long enough for my taste, it is big enough etc. I do really like it.

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 Bodice

The bodice looks quite simple on first sight but there are some surprises 🙂

The Sleeves

The sleeves where always my favourite detail about Snow White’s dress. They got special attention on this Secret Honey Snow White dress as well:

They are made from 3 layers of fabric, a layer of striped fabric with the tear drops cut out, a layer of white tulle and a layer of red tulle. The arm whole is elasticated and adjusts to your size.

I visually like the sleeves a lot, but since they used tulle to line them, the sleeves are a bit scratchy when you wear the dress. It’s no overly scratchy tulle, but still worth mentioning since some people are more sensitive to stuff like that than others. Other than that, I really love the way they interpreted Snow White’s sleeves.

The Collar

Snow White’s original dress has a stand up collar and I love the way they incorporated that detail into the dress:

It’s an embroidered little ruffly collar! We have a dwarf, the mirror, a chair, a chicken, the apple and a squirrel embroidered as well as scalloped embroidered edges.

Here is a look at the whole collar piece. As you can see, there are three motives that are repeated, the apple the chair and the flowers:

Here is a closer look at one half of the embroidery. I find the switch in embroidery technique interesting. If you look at the flower right in the beginning, it is done with a different technique then the other motives!

Here is the other half of the motives. We again have a different embroidery technique for the flower motive, everything else is done with the same stitch. If we count the motives between the apple (that repeats) we have three on the left side but five on the right. No idea why it is not symmetrical because the flowers actually are.

Other Bodice Details

Down the middle of the bodice we have golden trim runnning straight. This trim is different from the trim used for neckline and waistband that you will see in a minute. Also, do you notice the details on the fabric???

Here is a close up of the fabric. There is Snow White, the apple, the castle, flowers and more. I love this, little details that are not visible unless you look up close.

As mentioned above, the neckline is also decorated with golden trim. The colour is the same as the trim running down the centre front, but it is a bit more intricate:

The same trim is used around the waist as well. I like it a lot here because it makes the contrast between the blue and the yellow less strong.

Dress in Action

The Skirt

This dress has a (I think) full circle skirt with three different layers of fabric. Around the hem runs a comic style print that is unique in style for Secret Honey. The print is chronological and tells the story of Snow White from left to right:

Here is a look at the three layers of the skirt. The tulle layer is barely visible, but there is a layer of tulle over the fashion fabric layer with the print. Underneath is the lining layer with a tulle ruffle around the hem that peeks out under the main fabric.

Skirt Details/Print

Now the most exciting part, the print around the hem. As already mentioned, this print is done in a comic style, which is unique to the brand, they haven’t done this for another dress It reminds me of wood prints somehow?

The print is chronological, telling Snow White’s story from left to right. It repeats in the back of the dress:

I have one last picture of me wearing this beautiful dress for you. I like this shot, looks as if I am dreaming of my prince too 🙂 I have found mine already though 😀

And that is everything I have for you today. I hope you enjoyed having a look at all the gorgeous details of this Snow White Dress together with me. I wish you a good one and hope to see you in my next post

Love,
