Ursula Dress – Secret Honey Disney

Hello everyone and welcome to a new post Happy Halloween! Keeping the tradition of this blog alive, we will discuss a Halloween appropriate dress from Secret Honey today, their fabulous Ursula dress. I love the combination of black and violett and the dress has many cool details!

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 Ursula Dress

We have to start by admiring the dress in its full glory. I think it matches the automn mood around very well, don’t you? Here it is from the front. Please don’t mind that I do not look spooky or powerful at all… I simply can’t, I tried… You can see parts of the outcome on my Instagram or TikTok

The necklace did not come with the dress, if I remember correctly, you had to buy it separately. The dress would have originally cost you 18’000 yen plus taxes, the necklace 2’800 yen plus taxes. So around 25’000 yen for the complete outfit. There was also a bag that was released in just one store as a very special edition but i do not have that one. Here is a look at the dress from the side:

The wavy hem also gives the skirt a beautiful puffiness. Here is a look at the back of the dress:

Dress Facts

This dress seems to be quite rare. It pops up occasionally on second hand sites but the price is always pretty high.

Size and Closure

The dress is a good size M in my opinion, there is even enogh room for a bust that is a bit bigger. The dress closes with a hidden zipper in the back. There are two shirring panels, one on each side, decorated with a lace up detail.

Measurements

(Amateur-)measured with shirring extended:

Chest: around 95 cm
Waist: around 74 cm

Fit on me

The waistline of the dress is just about half a cm above my natural waist. I am tall and have a long torso, so I do consider this dress decently long in the bodice. The skirt hits about a hand over my knees which I am also fine with. I could wear a petticoat underneath and it would still be long enough for my taste.

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.

Titel Bodice/Shirt etc.

The bodice is made from black fabric as well as a violet fabric that is a little bit transparent. The black part of the bodice has a sweat heart neckline. On the left side is a swirl in black and violet shimmery fabric, decorated with sequins and beads. It represents one of Ursulas tentacles.

Here is a closer look at the detail. The violet fabric is nice and shifts between violet and a light blue.

The sleeves are made from the violet fabric. They are 3/4 length and gathered with elastic. The gathered fabric on the cuffs is scalloped and has small holes as decoration.

The Ursula Dress in Action

The Skirt

The skirt has three different layers of fabric. The organza top layer, the base fabric with the print and a lining layer with a double layer ruffle out of fine tulle around the bottom.

The Top Layer

The top layer has some sort of formed wire sewn into the hem that gives the hem a waved shape.

The organza is printed with circles in different sizes. They represent the suction cups on Ursula’s tentacles. The print is shimmery and shifts from black to violet.

The Print

The print of this dress is quite interesting. The first half seems chronological, it shows Ursula’s transformation into Vanessa. Then there are two other motives that do not seem to be in the right place?

I do not understand, why the last motive (the motives are left to right) is not the first one… Then it would be chronological with Flotsam and Jetsam as the last motive. Strange choice on Secret Honey’s part.

The Necklace

I tried looking like a powerful sea witch and I think, that I failed miserably But you still get the photo because you can see the necklace in action.

Mine is an untagged one, it does not have the black paint in the grooves:

And that is everything I have for you today. I hope you enjoyed this special Halloween post and loved looking at all of the pretty details of the Ursula dress and necklace together with me. I wish you a good one and hope to see you in my next post

Love,
