The belt shown in the first picture on the model was not made by us, but by our client and is not included in the listing. Belt can drape and can be punched with holes to your specification. The belt buckle has celtic design and three horses to symbolize Merida's horse she loves to ride throughout the movie. Merida's belt is made of real cow leather and has been dyed a medium brown and embossed with celtic interlocking (not painted). Merida's ghillies can also be purchased seperately. This costume comes with a zipper or for an additional $45.00 you can get a lace-up back (fully grommetted) with gold cording. There is also gold piping as a border above and below the embroidery.

The material under the embroidery is sewn shiny side out to add contrast to the rest of the dress. The artwork contains slender celtic bear-like figures with crystal eyes and celtic interlocking paneled around in a light turquoise thread on top of the teal skirt. The artwork for the hem was custom drawn by designer Heather Rosales and repeats itself 9 times around the skirt. The hem is the most amazing part which takes an incredible 36 hours to embroider. One sleeve has a 'target' in gold cording affixed (see Picture 2). The top of the sleeve mirrors Merida's off the shoulder look and has matching trims and crepe satin to accent. The sleeves are custom patterned as well to include ivory puffed fabric (stuffed) to accent the design and trimmed with crepe satin strips edged in gold trim. It has a nice wide neckline with striped ivory material carefully pleated around the neckline and matching ruffle at the edge of the sleeves. It is designed to give a long flowing sleek look to the wearer and is custom patterned to ensure that. Our Merida B Brave Inspired costume is made out of a teal blue crepe satin.
